  • Patent number: 9719435
    Abstract: Techniques for measuring cylinder pressure include receiving an analog cylinder pressure signal indicative of pressure in a cylinder of an engine and an angular position signal indicative of an angular position of the engine. The analog cylinder pressure signal is converted to a digital cylinder pressure signal by (i) windowing the analog cylinder pressure signal in the angle-domain using the angular position signal and (ii) sampling the windowed analog cylinder pressure signal in the time-domain, and the digital cylinder pressure signal is filtered in the time-domain to obtain a filtered digital cylinder pressure signal. A measured pressure in the angle domain is obtained by sampling the filtered digital cylinder pressure signal using the angular position signal, and operation of the engine is controlled using the measured cylinder pressure.

  • Patent number: 9005654
    Abstract: The present invention provides apparatus and processes for producing liposomes. By providing a buffer solution in a first reservoir, and a lipid solution in a second reservoir, continuously diluting the lipid solution with the buffer solution in a mixing chamber produces a liposome. A therapeutic agent, such as nucleic acid, is included in one of the buffer solution or the lipid solution. Upon mixing a liposome encapsulating the therapeutic product is substantially instantaneously formed. Thereafter the liposome solution formed is immediately diluted with buffer solution to enhance homogeneity and maintain small particle size.
