G06F 15/00

US Classification:

701102, 123435

Abstract:

A system for an engine includes first, second, third, and fourth modules. The first module determines an expected response of crankshaft speed due to combustion within a cylinder of the engine. The second module determines a value based on the expected response and a measured response of crankshaft speed due to combustion within the cylinder of the engine. The third module estimates an indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP) for the cylinder of the engine based on the value. The fourth module selectively adjusts an operating parameter of the engine based in the estimated IMEP.

Abstract:

A method and system for an active cell rendering engine, including a web server, a rendering engine, an application layer, and a data layer. The application layer includes cell applications. The data layer has data sources corresponding to the cell applications. One of the cell application is started pursuant to a request from the rendering engine, and returns formatted data, based on the data source in the data layer, to the rendering engine. The rendering engine, responsive to a copy request, provides a copy of one of the cell applications to the another page. The copied cell application includes a reference back to the page, so that modifications to the page appear in the copied cell application in a real-time fashion. Users can thus copy cells to pages, and construct pages utilizing copied cells, in order to keep real-time updated content in a cell on a page. The application layer and data layer can be provided in a configuration separate from the web server and rendering engine.
