Patent number: 8272361Abstract: The aim of the invention is to optimize the running smoothness of an internal combustion engine. To achieve this aim, the individual cylinders are synchronized with respect to their torque contribution. According to the method, fuel is injected into the combustion chamber of a cylinder in at least one injection step, the at least one injection contributing to the torque of the internal combustion engine. Fuel is injected into the combustion chamber of the cylinder in a torque neutral manner by way of a secondary injection during a working stroke of the cylinder and the amount of fuel of the secondary injection us calculated in such a manner that the exhaust gas substantially corresponds to a stoichiometric air/fuel mixture.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2008Date of Patent: September 25, 2012Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Guido Porten, Jens Wolber, Markus Amler, Matthias Walz, Jan-Mathias Meng, Joerg Koenig, Marc Schott, Pierre-Yves Crepin

Patent number: 8272379Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and methods for compensating for inelastic and elastic leaks in a ventilation system. The disclosure describes a model-based enhancement to conventional flow triggering and cycling methodologies that improves the timing and patient work of flow-based triggering and cycling performance. The methods and systems described herein compensate for the leak condition and minimize additional effort a patient has to exert to generate the same patient synchrony and comfort level compared to no leak condition. One method described includes calculating an elastic leakage and an inelastic leakage based on current measurements of pressure and flow in the ventilation system and then estimating a leak-compensated lung flow using the inelastic and elastic leaks and pneumatic attributes of the patient-ventilator system.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2008Date of Patent: September 25, 2012Assignee: Nellcor Puritan Bennett, LLCInventors: Mehdi M.
