    摘要: A method for monitoring the performance of a catalytic converter (34) computes the oxygen storage capacity and desorption capacity of a catalyst within the catalytic converter (34). An engine control unit (10) receives mass flow rate information of air from a mass air flow rate sensor (12) and an injector driver (24), and receives electrical signals from an upstream exhaust gas sensor (28) and a downstream exhaust gas sensor (30). A rate modifier is determined from excess air ratios and an adaptation parameter. The engine control unit (10) calculates normalized air fuel ratios for the exhaust gas entering and leaving the catalytic converter (34) and performs numerical integration using the rate modifier to determine the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst in the catalytic converter (34). The calculated oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst can be compared with threshold values to determine the performance of the catalytic converter (34).

    摘要: The catalyst control method of the invention continuously estimates a level of oxygen stored by a catalyst within a catalytic converter. The estimated oxygen stored by the catalyst is compared to a predetermined threshold and positive or negative deviations in the oxygen amount from the threshold is determined. When a positive deviation from the threshold amount is detected, the air/fuel ratio flowing into an engine (16) is decreased. Correspondingly, when a negative deviation is detected, the air/fuel ratio flowing into the engine (16) is increased. The amount of oxygen stored by the catalyst is determined by analyzing signals from a first gas sensor (28) positioned upstream from a catalytic converter (34) and a second gas sensor (30) positioned downstream from the catalytic converter (34). An engine control unit (10) integrates an expression for the mass flow rate of excess oxygen into the catalytic converter (34). Engine control unit (10) applies a change in air/fuel ratio to maintain the oxygen level on the catalyst within the catalytic converter (34) at a desired level.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for detecting a frequency band and mode of operation using recursive sampling and narrowing down is disclosed. The method comprises sampling (215) by a multi-mode wireless communication device, a broad operational frequency spectrum at a first sampling rate to produce a first set of discrete signal samples. Then, the wireless communication device compares (230, 240) at least one of the energy graphs of the first set of discrete signal samples with at least one protocol-specific signature to confirm (245), if an approximate match is found. When one or more approximate matches are found, the wireless communication device narrows down (250) the broad frequency spectrum to a reduced set of frequency band(s) that correspond to the matched protocol-specific signature(s). Then the steps of sampling (215), comparing (230, 240), confirming (245), and narrowing down (250) are recursively followed till a frequency band and mode of operation is confirmed.

    摘要: A system, and a corresponding method, for measuring a chemical concentration of a gas exhausted from exhaust ports (409, 413) of a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine (401) includes a gas sensing device. This device (419) is preferably a UEGO (Universal Exhaust Gas Oxygen) sensor. The gas exhausted is present in a substantially stable chemical concentration (706, 718) at a collection point (420) during intervals (738, 742) of engine angular rotation corresponding to the exhaust cycles. The UEGO sensor (419) measures the gas exhausted from the exhaust ports (409, 413) and provides a sensory output signal (743) that, during the intervals (738, 742) of engine angular rotation corresponding to each of the exhaust cycles, approaches (737, 741) a substantially stable value representative of the chemical concentration of the gas (706, 718) exhausted during the associated exhaust cycle. The sensory output signal (743) is coupled to an engine control system (431) that is executing signal reconstruction method steps (500, 600). These signal reconstruction steps (500, 600) are preferably based on a Kalman-Bucy state estimator in which a constituent gas signal P.sub.oe (745) that has a substantially constant amplitude during the intervals (738, 742), is reconstructed by the Kalman-Bucy state estimation reconstruction process (500, 600). The described improved method, and system, can compensate for the static and dynamic temporal and spacial effects, characteristic of the multi-cylinder engine exhaust system and the difference in sensory response to rich and lean exhaust gases, of the UEGO (419) sensor.
