20120006296METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING THE INTEGRITY OF A SWIRL GENERATING SYSTEM FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A method is provided for diagnosing the integrity of a swirl generating system for an internal combustion engine. The swirl generating system includes, but is not limited to swirl controlling elements that are individually located in a respective air passage connecting the intake manifold of the engine to an intake port of an engine combustion chamber, an actuator having a movable shaft, a cinematic chain for mechanically connecting the swirl controlling elements to the actuator movable shaft, an actuator control unit for normally moving the actuator movable shaft in a first direction towards a first final position, and in a second opposite direction towards a second final position, and actuator sensor for sensing the position of the actuator movable shaft. The method providing to arrange at least a mechanical stop for directly acting on one component of the cinematic chain, in order to indirectly limit the movement of the actuator movable shaft in the first direction at a first checking position coincident or beyond the first final position, command the actuator control unit for moving the actuator movable shaft in the first direction towards the first checking position, and verify through the position sensing means whether the actuator movable shaft stops in the first checking position (CP01-12-2012
20120019404METHOD FOR OPERATING AN ELECTROMECHANICAL ACTUATOR - A method is provided for operating an electromechanical actuator comprising a movable element, a position sensor for detecting the position of the movable element, a logic unit connected to the position sensor, and exactly one output line for the logic unit to transmit a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal having a predetermined frequency value, the method providing for the logic unit to perform detecting a position of the movable element, determining a value of a duty cycle of the pulse width modulated (PWM) signal on the basis of the detected position of the movable element, and transmitting a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal indicative of the position of the movable element having the determined value of the duty cycle.01-26-2012

20120116734Method of characterizing an electrical defect affecting an electronic circuit, related device and information recording medium - The method according to the invention consists of producing a real cartography of the magnetic field radiated by the circuit placed in a predetermined operating state. It includes the following steps: a) applying a transform to an initial hypothesis on the nature of the defect, to obtain a current hypothesis, b) superimposing the current hypothesis on an initial topology of the circuit to obtain a current topology; c) simulating the magnetic field generated by the current topology, so as to obtain a current simulated cartography; d) estimating the current value of a correlation function between the measured cartography and the current simulated cartography; and e) iterating steps a) to d) to seek a maximum of the correlation function by modifying the value of said characteristic parameter of the defect.05-10-2012
