Publication number: 20200123988Abstract: A method for jumping cylinder deactivation (“CDA”) modes to avoid a primary powertrain resonant frequency in a six-cylinder diesel engine-powered machine comprises operating an engine between an idled condition and a first engine speed limit in one of a two-cylinder CDA mode or a four-cylinder CDA mode. The method operates the engine between the first engine speed limit and a second engine speed limit in a three-cylinder CDA mode. The first engine speed limit is an engine speed below which the two-cylinder or four-cylinder CDA mode causes the machine to operate below a primary powertrain resonant frequency and also above which the three-cylinder CDA mode causes the machine to operate above the primary powertrain resonant frequency, thus avoiding the primary powertrain resonant frequency during operation. A CDA mode can be selected above the second engine speed limit to operate the machine above the primary powertrain resonant frequency.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2018Publication date: April 23, 2020Applicant: Eaton Intelligent Power LimitedInventors: Akibi Archer, James McCarthy, JR., Mark Osinski

Patent number: 10579381Abstract: Methods of encoding and decoding are described which use a variable number of instruction words to encode instructions from an instruction set, such that different instructions within the instruction set may be encoded using different numbers of instruction words. To encode an instruction, the bits within the instruction are re-ordered and formed into instruction words based upon their variance as determined using empirical or simulation data. The bits in the instruction words are compared to corresponding predicted values and some or all of the instruction words that match the predicted values are omitted from the encoded instruction.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2017Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: Imagination Technologies LimitedInventors: Simon Thomas Nield, James McCarthy
