  • Publication number: 20200182179
    Abstract: Technical methods described herein include an emissions control system for treating exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine in a motor vehicle. The emissions control system includes a three-reaction oxygen storage model. The system further includes a three-way catalyst and a controller that controls an oxygen storage level for the three-way catalyst. The controller determines a first reaction rate representing a net rate of cerium oxidation by oxygen, a second reaction rate representing a net rate of cerium reduction by carbon monoxide, and a third reaction rate representing a net rate of cerium reduction by hydrogen. The controller further determines the oxygen storage level based on the first reaction rate, the second reaction rate, and the third reaction rate.

  • Patent number: 10380641
    Abstract: Advertisement is a multi-billion dollar business in US (per year). Here, we use license plate frames for the advertisement. One example of the application describes a license-plate-frame-based advertisement verification system. In order to validate and verify the correct placement/mounting of a license plate frame advertisement at a given location over time, it is necessary to validate that both (a) the ad is correctly placed on the vehicle, and (b) to verify that the ad is at a given location at that time. The method required to verify these includes some control systems and components. Different variations and examples are also presented here.
