A system is disclosed for estimating the mass flow of recirculated exhaust gas (EGR) from an exhaust manifold to an intake manifold of an internal combustion engine via an EGR conduit disposed therebetween and a fraction of EGR attributable to a mass of charge flow entering the intake manifold. An engine controller is responsive to current values of various combinations of the engine exhaust temperature (ETE), intake manifold pressure (IMP), differential pressure (ΔP) across an EGR valve, and EGR valve position (EGRP) to determine an estimate of EGR mass flow. The controller is further operable to estimate EGR fraction as a function of the estimated EGR mass flow value, mass flow of charge entering the intake manifold, and engine speed.

A system for decoupling EGR flow and turbocharger swallowing capacity/efficiency control mechanisms includes a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transform manager coupled to one or more of an EGR valve, an exhaust throttle and a variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) actuator of an internal combustion engine. The MIMO transform manager is responsive to commanded charge flow and EGR fraction parameters to decouple the EGR/exhaust throttle and VGT control parameters such that these control mechanisms may be controlled individually and independently of each other. One transform output is provided to a first compensator for controlling EGR flow and/or exhaust throttle operation as a function of charge flow error. The other transform output is provided to a second independent compensator for controlling VGT operation also as a function of charge flow error. Both compensators are configured to provide for transient compensator gain adjustment based on the degree of charge flow error, and the VGT compensator is further configured to provide for transient compensator gain adjustment based on a ratio of commanded fueling and oxygen/fuel ratio. The resulting control strategy provides for independent control of EGR flow/exhaust throttle and a VGT actuator, thereby resulting in better and more consistent control over mass charge flow.

A system and method for diagnosing output power of an internal combustion engine includes means for diagnosing potential causes of low engine output power or torque and means for estimating actual engine output power or torque. In a preferred embodiment of the diagnosis of engine output power, low engine output power is first investigated for authenticity to verify whether a low engine output power condition exists. If one exists, a zero fueling engine cranking test is conducted to determine whether relative compression values for each of the cylinders are within specification, and any problems associated therewith are corrected by service personnel. If the low engine output power problem is not corrected in accordance with the engine cranking test, a snap-throttle cylinder balancing test is conducted to balance the relative power contribution from each cylinder. If the cylinder balancing test does not correct the low engine output power problem, a road test is conducted to estimate the actual engine output power for comparison with a rated engine output power over a desired range of engine speeds.

A near-field optical or magneto-optical data storage system uses an optical focusing device for focusing an incident optical beam to a small size focal spot. The optical focusing device includes an objective lens, an optically transparent base plate, and an optically transparent adapter. The adapter is secured to, and disposed intermediate the objective lens and the base plate, and includes an opening that faces the base plate. A fluid fills the adapter opening to form a fluid cell when the adapter is secured to the base plate. The fluid has an index of refraction that substantially matches the index of refraction of the base plate.

A magneto-optical head using a catadioptric focusing device comprised of an incident surface, a bottom reflective surface, a pedestal, and a body. The incident surface is generally flat and is comprised of a central diffractive, optically transmissive facet and a peripheral facet comprised of a diffractive-reflective surface or facet. In a data writing or reading mode, an incident optical beam, such as a laser beam impinges upon the central facet, and is diffracted thereby. The incident laser beam can be collimated, convergent or divergent. The laser beam passes through the transparent body, and impinges upon the bottom reflective surface. The laser beam is then reflected by the bottom reflective surface, through the body, unto the peripheral diffractive-reflective surface. The laser beam is reflected and also diffracted by the peripheral diffractive-reflective surface as a focused beam, through the body, and is focused as a focal point located at, or in close proximity to a pedestal edge, along a central axis, in very close proximity to the disk. This will allow the focused optical beam to propagate toward, or penetrate the disk through evanescent wave coupling, for enabling the transduction of data to and from the disk.
