  • Patent number: 10657709
    Abstract: Measurements or models of a human body are generated. An image of the human body may be identified and a fiducial map may be generated. The fiducial map may be compared to pre-processed fiducial maps stored in a data store. A plurality of pre-processed fiducial maps of human bodies may be identified when a correlation between the fiducial map and the pre-processed fiducial maps exceeds a defined threshold. A silhouette image of the human body may be generated based on the image and may be compared to pre-processed silhouette images associated with the plurality of pre-processed fiducial maps. One of the pre-processed silhouette images may be identified when a correlation value between the silhouette image and the pre-processed silhouette images exceeds a defined threshold. Measurements or a model of the human body may be identified based on the one of the pre-processed silhouette images.

  • Patent number: 7077784
    Abstract: A system for controlling engine crankshaft deceleration in an internal combustion engine is operable to determine whether the engine is operating with low inertia, to monitor an operational status of an engine retarding device configured to produce an engine retarding torque for decreasing rotational speed of the engine crankshaft, and to limit the retarding torque produced by the engine retarding device if the engine retarding device is operational and if the engine is operating with low inertia.

  • Patent number: 6915776
    Abstract: A premixed charge compression ignition engine, and a control system, is provided which effectively initiates combustion by compression ignition and maintains stable combustion while achieving extremely low nitrous oxide emissions, good overall efficiency and acceptable combustion noise and cylinder pressures. The present engine and control system effectively controls the combustion history, that is, the time at which combustion occurs, the rate of combustion, the duration of combustion and/or the completeness of combustion, by controlling the operation of certain control variables providing temperature control, pressure control, control of the mixture's autoignition properties and equivalence ratio control. The combustion control system provides active feedback control of the combustion event and includes a sensor, e.g. pressure sensor, for detecting an engine operating condition indicative of the combustion history, e.g. the start of combustion, and generating an associated engine operating condition signal.

  • Patent number: 6408625
    Abstract: An electric power generation system is disclosed, which includes a back-up electric power generator driven by a four-cycle internal combustion engine. The engine includes a plurality of reciprocating cylinders each rotatably coupled to a crankshaft, which drives the electric power generator. The engine also includes a compressor along an intake pathway to deliver pressurized air to the cylinders and a turbine along an exhaust pathway to power the compressor when driven by exhaust discharged from the cylinders. The engine is prepared to accept a generator load by increasing boost pressure provided by the compressor. This increase is accomplished by skip-firing the cylinders in a selected pattern, retarding ignition timing for the cylinders, or a combination of these techniques. A unique skip-fueling control pattern is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 5442920
    Abstract: A computer controlled, spark-ignited, turbocharged internal combustion engine has stored in memory, turbocharger compressor outlet absolute pressure for desired engine performance throughout the engine speed range at sea level (760 mm. H.sub.g) ambient pressure engine operating conditions. A sensor responsive to absolute pressure at the turbocharger compressor outlet continuously monitors the absolute pressure and compares it with the stored pressure for the engine speed at which the engine is operating at any particular time. When there is a difference, the computer responds to hold or change the waste gate position such as to hold or change the boost to re-establish the same compressor outlet absolute pressure as was stored for that engine speed under sea level ambient conditions.
