  • Patent number: 9879593
    Abstract: A system according to the principles of the present disclosure includes a target turbocharger position module and a turbocharger control module. The target turbocharger position module determines a target position of a turbocharger based on a relationship between power generated by a compressor of the turbocharger, inertia of a shaft in a turbine of the turbocharger, and power generated by the turbine. The target turbocharger position includes at least one of a target vane position and a target wastegate position. The turbocharger control module controls the turbocharger based on the target turbocharger position.

  • Publication number: 20140017346
    Abstract: Disclosed is a gelatin-free soft caramel including a soft caramel base mass that contains at least one polysaccharide hydrocolloid as texturing agent, a crystalline sweetener phase formed by isomaltulose, and a noncrystalline sweetener phase, wherein the caramel is gelatin-free. It can be made by providing a noncrystalline sweetener phase by dissolving at least one soluble sweetener in water, adding polysaccharide hydrocolloid, fat component, emulsifier and a part of the total amount of the isomaltulose to the noncrystalline sweetener phase, steam heating the mixture to a temperature of at least 100° C., adding the remaining isomaltulose to the heated mixture while stirring, incorporating air into the mixture and cooling.

  • Patent number: 8255139
    Abstract: An engine control system comprises a pedal torque determination module, a driver interpretation module, and an actuation module. The pedal torque determination module determines a zero pedal torque based on a desired engine torque at a zero accelerator pedal position and a minimum torque limit for an engine system. The driver interpretation module determines a driver pedal torque based on the zero pedal torque and an accelerator pedal position. The actuation module controls at least one of a throttle area, spark timing, and a fuel command based on the driver pedal torque.
