Abstract: A method, used with dual-fuel engine, of controlling the amount of diesel fuel delivered to the engine. The method compensates for the poor transient response of gaseous fueling. A controller receives a signal from the operator of the engine representing a desired torque, and based on this signal, determines a desired intake manifold state. It generates commands to various actuators to control the intake air and the intake gaseous fuel such that the desired intake manifold state will occur. The controller also receives sensor data from which the current in-cylinder state can be measured or estimated. It determines a current amount of diesel fuel based on the desired torque, the engine speed and the current in-cylinder state, and generates a diesel fueling command.

Abstract: A read count circuit and a write count circuit, each for providing a count of data read from or written to, respectively, an asynchronous FIFO memory device. These circuits use read/write clock and read/write enable inputs, the selection of which depend on whether a read or write count is being provided. Essentially, the circuit comprises a shift register having a number of cascaded flip-flops, where the number of flip-flops is based on a ratio of one clock frequency to the other. An AND element at the output of each flip-flop AND's the output of the associated flip-flop with a read/write enable signal. A pulse generator at the output of each AND element synchronizes the outputs of the AND elements with the read/write clock. An adder then sums the outputs of the pulse generators. A counter increments with the adder output and decrements with a read/write enable signal, upon each read/write clock signal, thereby providing a read/write count output.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for handover is provided. In a network environment in which a plurality of beams are provided within a base station, a terminal measures signal strength of a serving beam and signal strength of a target beam and transmits a measurement report message when a first condition or a second condition is satisfied. The base station determines inter-beam coordinated scheduling when the signal strength of the serving beam and target beam satisfy the first condition, and determines handover between beams when the signal strength of the serving beam and target beam satisfy the second condition. The base station transmits a message for commanding handover to the terminal when the handover between beams is determined. The terminal then stops communicating with the serving beam and performs handover to the target beam.
