The invention relates to a method and a system for controlling the operation of a vehicle engine which has its output shaft connected to driving wheels of the vehicle via a manual or semi-automatic gearbox. A restriction value representing the present value of the maximum allowed engine output torque is determined in dependence on a temperature value representing the prevailing oil temperature in ...

The invention relates to a method for processing mixtures of carboxylic acids obtained as hydrolysis products of suberin and cutin, particularly suberin and cutin isolated from birch bark, to give mono-, oligo- and polyesters, or corresponding ester-ethers, as well as the use of the products thus obtained as lubricants, fuel components, plasticizers, surface active agents, environmentally friendly...

A wavelet waveform generator provides several wavelet pulses comprising a sinusoidal carrier signal and an envelope signal. A multiplayer combines the wavelet pulses with an input signal to form a correlation signal. An integrator receives the correlation signal and determines correlation values from integrating the correlating signals. A spectrum recognition module in communication with the integ...

Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for spectrum-sensing cognitive radios that are operative to detect and utilize available RF spectrum resources. The spectrum-sensing cognitive radios include at least one antenna and a frequency-agile radio front-end module in communication with the at least one antenna and configured to transmit and receive radio frequency signals via the at least on...

Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for fine-sensing modules that are operative for identifying one or more signal types from an input radio frequency (RF) signal. The fine-sensing modules may include a multiplier that combines an RF input signal and a delayed RF input signal to produce a correlation signal and an integrator that receives the correlation signal from the multiplier, wher...
