| 20100158392 | Systems and Methods for Determining Crystallographic Characteristics of a Material - Various embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for determining crystallographic characteristics of a material sample. For example, a method for determining crystallographic characteristics of a sample is disclosed that includes receiving a measured image of a sample; receiving a simulated image corresponding to the sample with the simulated image being substantially free of elastic strain; comparing the measured image with the simulated image such that at least a portion of a difference between the measured image and the simulated image corresponds to an elastic strain of the sample; and using the difference to calculate the elastic strain of the sample. | 06-24-2010 |

| 20100131148 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ESTIMATED DRIVER INTENTION FOR DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM CONTROL - A system and method relate to estimating a driver intention for driver assistance systems control, including an analysis device that receives data from each of a vehicle environment sensor, a vehicle dynamics sensor, and a driver attributes sensor, such that the analysis device makes a prediction of the driver intention based on the received data. A control device controls a vehicle and a driver partially based on the predicted driver intention. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20110030657 | SKIP FIRE ENGINE CONTROL - A variety of methods and arrangements for controlling the operation of an internal combustion engine in a skip fire variable displacement mode are described. Generally, an engine is controlled to operate in a skip fire variable displacement mode. In the variable displacement mode, selected combustion events are skipped so that other working cycles can operate at better thermodynamic efficiency. More specifically, selected “skipped” working cycles are not fired while other “active” working cycles are fired. Typically, fuel is not delivered to the working chambers during skipped working cycles. In one aspect of the invention, a firing pattern is determined that is not fixed but the active working cycles are selected to favor the firing of working chambers that have recently been fired at least in part to reduce wall wetting losses. In another aspect of the invention, when an active working cycle follows a skipped working cycle in the same working chamber, the quanta of fuel injected for delivery to the working chamber is increased relative to the quanta of fuel that would be delivered to the working chamber when the active working cycle follows another active working cycle in the same working chamber in order to compensate for wall wetting losses that occur during skipped working cycles. | 02-10-2011 |

| 20080222402 | Method and apparatus for product comparison - A method of comparing products is disclosed. The method includes selecting a first configuration representing a first product with a first attribute, selecting a second configuration representing a second product with a second attribute, and displaying the first attribute and the second attribute. As will be noted, the first attribute is defined in the first configuration, and the second attribute is defined in the second configuration. | 09-11-2008 |
