Abstract: A method and system for avoiding conflicts across a vehicle diagnostics bus by incorporating a bridge device between the vehicle's data link connector and one or more sensors. The bridge device is capable of monitoring traffic across the vehicle's diagnostics bus, and conditions and transmits a sensor signal across the bus when said monitoring indicates that the transmission will not interfere or corrupt any other signals on said bus.

Abstract: A system and method for managing a game including generating a grid with a processing device. The grid is comprised of a plurality of squares defined by a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns. The method also includes establishing betting odds for each of the squares and presenting the squares and associated betting odds on a graphical user interface. The betting odds of each of the squares are associated with a likelihood of the square being established as a winning square. A winning square is designated in response to a score of a live sporting event including a digit of a score of a first team being the same as a row number of the square, and a digit of a score of a second team being the same as a column number of the square at the end of a predetermined interval of the live sporting event.

Abstract: A method for an engine control unit to conduct real time updating of data tables based on feedback from the air flow sensor without external computing. The air fuel ratio is based on information received from an air flow meter, where a look-up table is actively tuned for the air flow calibration instead of the volumetric efficiency tables. Here, the look-up table involves a single dimension value so the calculations are simpler than more complex evaluations previously set forth.

Abstract: A method for an engine control unit to update internal tables based on feedback from the engine without external computing, comprising the steps of establishing flash memory and RAM memory in the ECU, assigning a portion of the RAM memory to storage of a table of engine conditions from the flash memory, updating all program code pointers to the table to read the table from the assigned portion of RAM, and revise the table in RAM based on input received from the engine sensors.

Abstract: A method for controlling wheel slip comprising determining an actual wheel slip of a set of driven wheels on a vehicle, adjusting the actual wheel slip for cornering distortion, setting a target slip condition using a traction control unit with a multi-position switch depending upon road conditions, calculating overslip of the wheels, and retarding an engine output to minimize overslip, and an apparatus for accomplishing same.

Abstract: The present invention utilizes a speed density method for determining the cylinder air mass using volumetric efficiency (VE) based on engine speed and manifold pressure. The VE data contain the cylinder filling efficiency for various engine speed and manifold pressure values. The manifold pressure is then measured by a manifold absolution pressure (MAP) sensor. Using the speed density has the advantage that it is much less affected by pulsation in the intake system of the vehicle, and does not require a linear air flow past a sensor in the engine intake system.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to chips, particularly microfluidic chips, that are rotatable and/or have a generally circular or rotationally symmetric geometry. The chips may be substantially planar in certain instances. In some cases, the chips of the invention can have more than one reaction site, which can, for example, contain cells. The reaction site can be very small, in some cases with a volume of less than about 1 ml. Reactions, transport, and/or other manipulations within the chip can be facilitated by rotating the chip, for example, at tens, hundreds or thousands of revolutions per minute (RPM). In some cases, data may also be written to and/or read from the chip. The chips of the invention can be used, for example, to move fluid from one portion of a chip to another, to concentrate and/or separate a mixture (e.g., a cell suspension), to lyse or fractionate a cell, or the like.
