Title: Fuel composition recognition and adaptation system

Abstract

A method of operating an internal combustion engine. The method including monitoring a pressure in a combustion chamber of the engine during a compression stroke, determining whether a fuel composition has changed from a first composition to a second composition based at least in part on the monitored pressure, and triggering a fuel composition adaptation in response to a determination that the fuel composition has changed.

Pattern recognition monitoring of PEM fuel cell

Patent Meltser, Mark Alexander [Pittsford, NY]

The CO-concentration in the H.sub.2 feed stream to a PEM fuel cell stack is monitored by measuring current and voltage behavior patterns from an auxiliary cell attached to the end of the stack. The auxiliary cell is connected to the same oxygen and hydrogen feed manifolds that supply the stack, and discharges through a constant load. Pattern recognition software compares the current and voltage patterns from the auxiliary cell to current and voltage signature determined from a reference cell similar to the auxiliary cell and operated under controlled conditions over a wide range of CO-concentrations in the H.sub.2 fuel stream.

Automatic threat recognition system and method using material disambiguation informed by physics in x-ray CT images of baggage

Patent Paglieroni, David W.; Pechard, Christian T.; Martz, Jr., Harry E.

An automatic threat recognition (ATR) system is disclosed for scanning an article to recognize contraband items or items of interest contained within the article. The ATR system uses a CAT scanner to obtain a CT image scan of objects within the article, representing a plurality of 2D image slices of the article and its contents. Each 2D image slice includes information forming a plurality of voxels. The ATR system includes a computer and determines which voxels have a likelihood of representing materials of interest. It then aggregates those voxels to produce detected objects. The detected objects are further classified asmore » « less
