  • Method of operating a supercharged methanol fueled diesel cycle internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 5355677
    Abstract: The combination of an intake air supply system with an internal combustion engine having a charge air cooler, a cylinder charging air intake and an exhaust discharge is provided. The intake air supply system includes a Roots-type positive displacement blower having inlet and outlet means and an exhaust gas driven turbo-compressor connected in series with the blower. The intake air supply system further includes a bypass passage connecting the blower inlet and outlet and a valve in the bypass passage to control the flow of fluid through the bypass. The valve is operative to open and close the bypass passage in response to engine operating parameters and to modulate the flow area of the passage in response to the same engine operating parameters so as to infinitely vary the flow area between the open and closed positions of the valve.
    Type: Grant

  • Circuit arrangements for calibrating signals
    Patent number: 4150403
    Abstract: A circuit arrangement for calibrating a signal by calibrating a storage medium upon which the signal is recorded comprising circuits for producing calibration signals and for interfacing information, calibration and marking signals, a timing and control circuit for controlling periods of calibrating signals recorded on the storage medium and derived by a calibrating circuit.A circuit for providing marking of an event external to the signal is provided.
