This paper presents the development, experimentation and validation of a reliable and robust system, which can be easily calibrated for different engine platforms, to monitor the injector pulse generated by an Engine Control Module (ECM) and feedback the corresponding fueling quantity to the real-time computer in a closed-loop Controller in the loop (CIL) bench in order to achieve optimal fueling. This research utilized Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) and Direct Memory Access (DMA) transfer capability to achieve high speed data acquisition and delivery. The research is conducted in two stages, first stage was to study the variability involved in the injected fueling quantity from pulse to pulse, from injector to injector, between real injector stators and inductor load cells, over different operating conditions. Different thresholds were experimented to find out the best start of injection (SOI) threshold and the end of injection (EOI) threshold that captured the injector “on-time” with best reliability and accuracy. Second stage involved development of a system that interprets the injector pulse into fueling quantity; the system can be easily calibrated to be used over various platforms. Finally, the use of resulting correction table was found to capture the fueling quantity with best accuracy.

Finally, the use of resulting correction table has been observed to capture the fueling quantity with highest accuracy.

This paper presents a high-speed and multi-thread-safe transmission based on the universal parallel port (uPP) of OMAPL138 and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA).With the aid of I/O module used with IOM mini-drivers (GIO module) under DSP/BIOS and internal direct memory access (DMA), this system can obtain a high momentary speed at 300MB/s. This system is designed for the real-time transmission of spectrum data and raw time-domain data which are most important data for monitoring the wireless frequency resource. The real-time transmission of spectrum data has been applied in a spectrum monitoring receiver.

Abstract In laser processing, the possible throughput is directly scaling with the available average laser power. To avoid unwanted thermal damage due to high pulse energy or heat accumulation during MHz-repetition rates, energy distribution over the workpiece is required. Polygon mirror scanners enable high deflection speeds and thus, a proper energy distribution within a short processing time. The requirements of laser micro processing with up to 10 kW average laser powers and high scan speeds up to 1000 m/s result in a 30 mm aperture two-dimensional polygon mirror scanner with a patented low-distortion mirror configuration. In combination with a field programmable gate array-based real-time logic, position-true high-accuracy laser switching is enabled for 2D, 2.5D, or 3D laser processing capable to drill holes in multi-pass ablation or engraving. A special developed real-time shifter module within the high-speed logic allows, in combination with external axis, the material processing on the fly and hence, processing of workpieces much larger than the scan field.

This chapter celebrates 50 years of first and higher order neural network (HONN) implementations in terms of the physical layout and structure of electronic hardware, which offers high speed, low latency, compact, low cost, low power, mass produced systems. Low latency is essential for practical applications in real time control for which software implementations running on CPUs are too slow. The literature review chapter traces the chronological development of electronic neural networks (ENN) discussing selected papers in detail from analog electronic hardware, through probabilistic RAM, generalizing RAM, custom silicon Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuit, Neuromorphic chips, pulse stream interconnected neurons to Application Specific Integrated circuits (ASICs) and Zero Instruction Set Chips (ZISCs). Reconfigurable Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are given particular attention as the most recent generation incorporate Digital Signal Processing (DSP) units to provide full System on Chip (SoC) capability offering the possibility of real-time, on-line and on-chip learning.

An optically accessible high-speed direct-injection diesel engine was used to study the effects of injection angles on low-sooting combustion. A digital high-speed camera was employed to capture the entire cycle combustion and spray evolution processes under seven operating conditions including post-top-dead centre (TDC) injection and pre-TDC injection strategies. The nitrogen oxide (NO x) emissions were also measured in the exhaust pipe. In-cylinder pressure data and heat release rate calculations were conducted. All the cases show premixed combustion features. For post-TDC injection cases, a large amount of fuel deposition is seen for a narrower-injection-angle tip, i.e. the 70° tip, and ignition is observed near the injector tip in the centre of the bowl, while for a wider-injection-angle tip, namely a 110° tip, ignition occurs near the spray tip in the vicinity of the bowl wall. The combustion flame is near the bowl wall and at the central region of the bowl for the 70° tip. However, the flame is more distributed and centralized for the 110° tip. Longer spray penetration is found for the pre-TDC injection timing cases. Liquid fuel impinges on the bowl wall or on the piston top and a fuel film is formed. Ignition for all the pre-TDC injection cases occur in a distributed way in the piston bowl. Two different combustion modes are observed for the pre-TDC injection cases including a homogeneous bulky combustion flame at earlier crank angles and a heterogeneous film combustion mode with luminous sooting flame at later crank angles. In terms of soot emissions, NO x emissions, and fuel efficiency, results show that the late post-TDC injection strategy gives the best performance.

An electric turbocompound (ETC) system for heavy duty diesel engines offers significant system level benefits, such as improved fuel efficiency and reduced NOx emissions with a lower CO2 footprint. Presently, a high speed switched reluctance type motor/generator is integrated into a turbocharger shaft between the turbine and compressor wheels. The motor assists rapid acceleration of the turbocharger shaft, thereby rendering faster transient response. At steady or over-boost operating conditions, the generator provides electric power which can be used directly or stored in an on-board storage device. ETCs operate at high rotational speeds and, if equipped with fluid film bearings, use pressurized engine oil to lubricate the bearings (journal and thrust). This paper presents comprehensive predictions of the linear and nonlinear shaft motions of an ETC supported on floating ring bearings. A rotor structural finite element model integrates the floating ring bearing model for prediction of the rotor-bearing system (RBS) linear and nonlinear forced responses under actual operating conditions. Predictions show a complex rotordynamic behavior of the RBS with large amplitude subsynchronous motions over a wide speed range. However, the subsynchronous whirl motions reach a limit cycle enabling continuous operation without system failure. Most importantly, stiffness of the lamination stack mounted on the shaft has a significant effect on the amplitude and frequency content of the shaft motion. The present analysis effectively aids to accelerate ETC prototype development with increased reliability and product troubleshooting.
