  • Patent number: 11365664
    Abstract: A method for controlling a return valve of an exhaust system and to an exhaust system with a control unit which is configured to carry out the method. The method is based on the object of avoiding an overpressure in the line system for urea solution as a result of a reduction in the injection rate. The method includes the steps of determining whether one or more of the following states are present during the operation of the exhaust system: a) an injection rate per unit of time of urea solution of the dosing valve is less than or equal to a predefined injection limit, b) a pressure measured by the pressure sensor in the line system overshoots a predefined first upper pressure limit (P2). The return valve is opened for a first predefined opening duration (?t1) if states a) and b) are present and at least one of the states has already been present for at least a predefined period of time (?ta). The return valve is closed after the first predefined opening duration (?t1) has elapsed.

  • Publication number: 20220107773
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for external display power loss detection. An example non-transitory computer readable medium comprises instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to at least determine whether a physical connection is established between a source device and an external display. In response to detecting the physical connection between the source device and the external display, present an application window from the source device to the external display, receive signal inputs from the external display, compare a first signal input from the signal inputs and second signal input from the signal inputs, and determine whether a calculated difference between the first signal input and the second signal input exceeds a threshold value. In response to determining that the calculated difference exceeds the threshold value, present the application window via the source device automatically without user input.

  • Publication number: 20050266144
    Abstract: Improved parfried and frozen French fry potato strips and a related production process are provided, wherein the French fry strips exhibit a relatively high solids content and a correspondingly low moisture content in the parfried frozen state. Elongated cut French fry strips are initially blanched and then subjected to an extended dry step for removing moisture therefrom. Following the dry step, the potato strips are partially rehydrated by contacting the external surfaces thereof with a moisture-laden agent such as a batter coating, followed by a single parfry step and prompt freezing. The parfried frozen potato strips exhibit a high solids content on the order of about 33-42%. These high solids strips can be finish prepared by finish frying, or by alternative methods such as heating in a convection oven, with the finish prepared potato strips exhibiting a desirable set of taste, texture and color attributes.
