    摘要: Methods and apparatus for accurately predicting a fuel injector tip temperature (FITT) are described. One technique for predicting the temperature of a fuel injector tip in an engine suitably includes the steps of estimating an initial temperature of the fuel injector tip and calculating a steady state temperature of the fuel injector tip. A filter coefficient is determined as a function of a rate of airflow into the engine, and the temperature of the fuel injector tip is predicted as a function of said initial temperature, the steady state temperature, and the filter coefficient. In a further embodiment, the steady state temperature is filtered into a feedback temperature at a rate that is determined by the filter coefficient.

    摘要: A system for controlling/conserving signal transmission power in a communications system is disclosed. The system generally includes a first unit having a transmitter and a receiver, a second unit having a transmitter and a receiver, a forward communications channel between the first unit transmitter and the second unit receiver, and a reverse communications channel between the second unit transmitter and the first unit receiver. In operation, the system determines the received signal power needs of the second unit receiver. It then generates a reverse channel explicit-power-request command based on the determination of the received signal power needs of the second unit receiver. The reverse channel explicit-power-request command represents an absolute power level at which the first unit transmitter should transmit signals over the forward communications channel. In general, this reverse channel explicit-power-request command communicates the absolute power level in a manner that is independent of the power level at which the first unit transmitter had previously been transmitting with. The system also generates a forward channel explicit-power-notification message based on a determination of the transmitted signal power from the first unit transmitter. The forward channel explicit-power-notification message represents an absolute power level at which the first unit transmitter is transmitting signals over the forward communications channel.

    摘要: An access terminal for initiating spot beam selection in a satellite communication system, in which the access terminal includes a receiver for measuring the received signal strength (RSS) of a multiplicity of radio frequency communication spot beam links. The access terminal is further provided with a microcontroller for comparing the received signal strengths from each of the multiplicity of spot beams to initiate information communication via a communication channel of the satellite communication system. In a described embodiment, the controller of the access terminal compares seven spot beam links to determine whether to initiate information communication with one of the seven spot beams received. Additionally, a memory coupled to the controller of the access terminal is used for storing spot beam identification information including the spot beam links assigned to the access terminal via the satellite communication system. The selection procedure employed by the system and method described facilitate a rapid selection of an appropriate spot beam identified from the multiplicity of radio frequency spot beam links received at a mobile access terminal.

    摘要: A device and method for receiving a radio signal transmitted over a channel, selecting and deselecting an equalizer, and balancing processing in response to such selection. A radio frequency signal is received from a transmission channel into a receive path, and delay spread in the radio frequency signal is estimated using an analysis circuit. The analysis circuit also determines a threshold delay spread. In the event the estimated delay spread exceeds the threshold delay spread, an equalizer is selected, otherwise the equalizer is deselected. Similarly, in the event the estimated delay spread does not exceed the threshold delay spread, a high complexity processor is selected, otherwise a low complexity processor is selected. If the low complexity processor is selected, an output signal is generated using the low complexity processor, and if the high complexity processor is selected, the output signal is generated using the high complexity processor.

    摘要: The secure parcel delivery receptacle comprises a parcel receptacle, a locking cover, a scanner, and a camera. The parcel receptacle may be a container into which the parcel may be placed. Access to the parcel receptacle may be via the locking cover which may only be unlocked by the scanner. The scanner may scan the parcel using wireless technology, optical technology, or a combination thereof to determine parcel identification information from the parcel. The parcel identification information may comprise or may be associated with a one-time code that will unlock the locking cover one time only. The camera may record one or more images as proof of delivery. The scanner may transmit one or more wireless messages containing status information regarding attempts to access the secure parcel delivery receptacle to the purchaser, to the seller, or to both.
