Abstract: An engine forming part of a machine is controlled in order to effect a predetermined machine speed limit. One or more engine control parameters are determined based on a theoretical engine speed limit that is based on the predetermined machine speed limit and variable machine parameters. This comprises on or more of: varying a control software engine speed limit from a first engine speed value to a desired engine speed limit value that is based on the theoretical limit; setting the control software engine speed limit at a locked engine speed limit value that remains constant when the theoretical limit is within a set range; setting an engine governor gain based on the theoretical limit; setting control software engine speed filter parameters based on the theoretical limit; and determining control commands to prevent the machine transmission from changing gears based on the engine speed limit with a hysteresis applied.

Abstract: An in-line insert folder system includes a continuous roll of preprinted inserts, and a cutter for cutting individual inserts from the roll. A transport serially conveys the individual inserts in a downstream direction to a buckle folder that receives the inserts and folds each one along at least one fold line. An applicator serially receives the folded inserts from the buckle folder and applies the inserts to consumer packs such as cigarette packs, for example. The folded inserts may be directly applied to the packs before placement of flexible outer wrap or the folded inserts may be applied onto the flexible outer wrap before that wrap is placed around the packs.
