Wine grape pomace (WGP) as a source of antioxidant dietary fiber (DF) was used to fortify baked goods, including breads, muffins, and brownies. Pinot Noir WGP (RWGP) and Pinot Grigio WGP (WWGP) substituted wheat flour at concentration of 5%, 10%, and 15% for bread, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% RWGP for brownies, and 5%, 10%, and 15% RWGP or 10%, 15%, and 20% WWGP for muffins. The finished products were evaluated for total phenolic content (TPC), radical scavenging activity (RSA), and total DF, as well as physicochemical and sensory properties. WGP flour blends were also tested for solvent retention capacity (SRC). The highest TPC and RSA values for bread and muffins were achieved in 15% RWGP fortified samples with TPC and RSA values of 68.32 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/serving and 80.70 AAE mg/serving, respectively for bread, and 2164 mg GAE/serving and 1526 mg AAE/serving, respectively for muffins. Brownies fortified with 10% RWGP had the highest RSA value (115.52 mg AAE/serving) while the control had the highest TPC value (1152 mg GAE/serving). Breads and muffins with 15% RWGP and brownies with 25% RWGP had the highest amount of DF (6.33, 12.32, and 7.73 g/serving, respectively). Sensory evaluation concluded that there is no difference in overall liking of 5% and 10% RWGP breads and muffins or 15% and 20% WGP brownies compared to the controls. This study demonstrated that WGP is a viable functional ingredient in bakery goods to increase TPC, RSA, and DF in consumer's diets.
Practical Application
Wine grape pomace (WGP) is a good source of polyphenols and dietary fibers and may be incorporated into baked goods as a functional ingredient. This study reported that a 5.9% or 194.4% increase in polyphenols and >20% dietary fiber increase could be achieved in pomace fortified breads or muffins, respectively without impacting consumer acceptance of the products. The results of this study demonstrated the feasibility of WGP as an ingredient to increase the content of bioactive compounds in baked goods for promoting human health and the reutilization of the WGP for decreasing waste from winemaking.

Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) during operation of an automobile can greatly affect customer satisfaction with the vehicle. Accordingly, NVH considerations are now commonly taken into consideration during design and manufacture of automobiles. NVH results from vibration of various parts of the automobile, such as the engine (and engine mounts), body panels, chassis, exhaust piping, etc. The vibration can produce undesirable noise in the passenger compartment, and can be transmitted through components such as the seats, steering wheel, etc. to vehicle occupants. NVH can be particularly noticeable during idle.
One proposed solution to controlling NVH during idle involves consideration of certain natural frequencies of the vehicle. Through testing or other methods, natural frequencies are determined for various components of the vehicle. The control systems of the vehicle that govern idle engine speed are then designed taking the natural frequencies into consideration. For example, idle speed control is often implemented so that piston firing frequencies at idle do not amplify natural frequencies, for example by creating resonance. The inventors have recognized a problem with this solution, namely that the parameters of idle speed control are fixed at design time, and do not account for wear and break-in, or for dynamically changing conditions arising during operation of the vehicle.
Accordingly, the present disclosure provides a system and method of operating a vehicle powertrain that employs active control to reduce NVH, particularly during idle. The method includes selectively operating the powertrain in at least a non-idle condition and an idle condition; receiving vibration signals from a sensor disposed on an internal combustion engine; controlling spark timing of the internal combustion engine based on vibration signals received from the sensor; and during the idle condition, modifying a speed and/or a load of the internal combustion engine based on vibration signals received from the sensor.
Referring to
The depicted connections between engine 10, hybrid propulsion system 13, transmission 15 and tire 19 indicate transmission of mechanical energy from one component to another. For example, torque may be transmitted from engine 10 to drive the vehicle wheels and tire 19 via transmission 15. Hybrid propulsion system 15 may be configured to operate in a generator mode and/or a motor mode. In the generator mode, hybrid propulsion system absorbs some or all of the output from engine 10, which reduces the amount of output delivered by the engine to transmission 15. Generator mode may be employed, for example, to achieve efficiency gains through regenerative braking. In particular, the output received by the hybrid propulsion system may be used to charge a battery or other energy storage device. In motor mode, the hybrid propulsion system supplies mechanical output to transmission 15, for example by using electrical energy stored during generator operation.
Hybrid propulsion embodiments may include full hybrid systems, in which the vehicle can run on just the engine, just the hybrid propulsion system, or a combination of both. Assist or mild hybrid configurations may also be employed, in which the engine is the primary torque source, with the hybrid propulsion system acting to selectively deliver added torque, for example during tip-in or other conditions.
Intake manifold 44 is shown communicating with throttle body 58 via throttle plate 62. In this particular example, throttle plate 62 is coupled to electric motor 94 so that the position of throttle plate 62 is controlled by controller 12 via electric motor 94. This configuration is commonly referred to as electronic throttle control (ETC), which is also utilized during idle speed control. In an alternative embodiment (not shown), which is well known to those skilled in the art, a bypass air passageway is arranged in parallel with throttle plate 62 to control inducted airflow during idle speed control via a throttle control valve positioned within the air passageway.
Exhaust gas sensor 76 is shown coupled to exhaust manifold 48 upstream of catalytic converter 70. Note that sensor 76 corresponds to various different sensors, depending on the exhaust configuration as described below with regard to
Conventional distributorless ignition system 88 provides ignition spark to combustion chamber 30 via spark plug 92 in response to spark advance signal SA from controller 12. Though spark ignition components are shown, engine 10 (or a portion of the cylinders thereof) may be operated in a compression ignition mode, with or without spark assist, as explained in more detail below.
Controller 12 may be configured to cause combustion chamber 30 to operate in either a homogeneous air/fuel mode or a stratified air/fuel mode by controlling injection timing. In the stratified mode, controller 12 activates fuel injector 66A during the engine compression stroke so that fuel is sprayed directly into the bowl of piston 36. Stratified air/fuel layers are thereby formed. The strata closest to the spark plug contain a stoichiometric mixture or a mixture slightly rich of stoichiometry, and subsequent strata contain progressively leaner mixtures. During the homogeneous spark-ignition mode, controller 12 activates fuel injector 66A during the intake stroke so that a substantially homogeneous air/fuel mixture is formed when ignition power is supplied to spark plug 92 by ignition system 88. Controller 12 controls the amount of fuel delivered by fuel injector 66A so that the homogeneous air/fuel mixture in chamber 30 can be selected to be at stoichiometry, a value rich of stoichiometry, or a value lean of stoichiometry. The stratified air/fuel mixture will always be at a value lean of stoichiometry, the exact air/fuel ratio being a function of the amount of fuel delivered to combustion chamber 30. An additional split mode of operation wherein additional fuel is injected during the exhaust stroke while operating in the stratified mode is also possible.
Nitrogen oxide (NOx) adsorbent or trap 72 is shown positioned downstream of catalytic converter 70. NOx trap 72 is a three-way catalyst that adsorbs NOx when engine 10 is operating lean of stoichiometry. The adsorbed NOx is subsequently reacted with HC and CO and catalyzed when controller 12 causes engine 10 to operate in either a rich homogeneous mode or a near stoichiometric homogeneous mode such operation occurs during a NOx purge cycle when it is desired to purge stored NOx from NOx trap 72, or during a vapor purge cycle to recover fuel vapors from fuel tank 160 and fuel vapor storage canister 164 via purge control valve 168, or during operating modes requiring more engine power, or during operation modes regulating temperature of the omission control devices such as catalyst 70 or NOx trap 72. It will be understood that various different types and configurations of emission control devices and purging systems may be employed.
Controller 12 is shown in
In this particular example, temperature Tcat1 of catalytic converter 70 and temperature Tcat2 of emission control device 72 (which can be a NOx trap) are inferred from engine operation as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,414,994, the specification of which is incorporated herein by reference. In an alternate embodiment, temperature Tcat1 is provided by temperature sensor 124 and temperature Tcat2 is provided by temperature sensor 126.
Continuing with
Teeth 138, being coupled to housing 136 and camshaft 130, allow for measurement of relative cam position via cam timing sensor 150 providing signal VCT to controller 12. Teeth 1, 2, 3, and 4 are preferably used for measurement of cam timing and are equally spaced (for example, in a V-8 dual bank engine, spaced 90 degrees apart from one another) while tooth 5 is preferably used for cylinder identification, as described later herein. In addition, controller 12 sends control signals (LACT, RACT) to conventional solenoid valves (not shown) to control the flow of hydraulic fluid either into advance chamber 142, retard chamber 144, or neither.
Relative cam timing is measured using the method described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,548,995, which is incorporated herein by reference. In general terms, the time, or rotation angle between the rising edge of the PIP signal and receiving a signal from one of the plurality of teeth 138 on housing 136 gives a measure of the relative cam timing. For the particular example of a V-8 engine, with two cylinder banks and a five-toothed wheel, a measure of cam timing for a particular bank is received four times per revolution, with the extra signal used for cylinder identification.
Sensor 160 provides an indication of both oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas as well as NOx concentration. Signal 162 provides controller a voltage indicative of the O2 concentration while signal 164 provides a voltage indicative of NOx concentration. Alternatively, sensor 160 can be a HEGO, UEGO, EGO, or other type of exhaust gas sensor. Also note that, as described above with regard to sensor 76, sensor 160 can correspond to various different sensors depending on the system configuration.
As described above,

It will be appreciated that the examples of
The operation of the engine and powertrain embodiments discussed herein may be designed or controlled to maintain noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) within acceptable levels. NVH can arise from a number of sources. Operation of the powertrain produces vibration at various frequencies, due to piston firing frequency, oscillations of the engine block, etc. These vibrations can align with other natural frequencies of vehicle components such as the steering column, chassis, wheels, body panels, etc. This alignment can produce vibrations which are undesirable and can be a source of customer dissatisfaction with the vehicle. Furthermore, NVH is usually more noticeable during idle, due to the lower piston firing frequencies and reduced exterior noise.
Accordingly, the example engine embodiments described herein are designed or tuned to provide smooth idle operation and maintain NVH to acceptable levels. Electronic engine controller 12 may be configured to control engine speed at idle based on various inputs, such as temperature, gear, airflow, etc. In variable displacement embodiments, the number of activated cylinders may also affect the controlled engine speed at idle to maintain satisfactory idle NVH levels. These are but examples, many factors, and combinations thereof, may act as inputs to idle speed control.
Regardless of the specific factors considered, the idle speed typically is controlled so that the engine vibrations do not align with known natural frequencies of other vehicle components. During the operative life of the vehicle, however, design-time considerations typically will change, for example due to break-in, wear, etc. NVH at idle may thus change over time.
Accordingly, other exemplary embodiments and methods described herein may include active control of powertrain operation during idle to address NVH.
According to one example, vibration signals 204 provide an indication of engine knock. The signals are processed by controller 206 to identify high frequency vibrations resulting from auto-ignition detonations occurring within the combustion chamber. Typically, the auto-ignition detonations, or knock, result from localized areas of compression ignition that occur in the combustion cylinder prior to the desired onset of combustion. Undesirable knock is controlled via modification of spark timing. Specifically, based on vibration signals 204 indicating knock, controller may issue spark timing signals 208 to modify spark timing and thereby change the timing of combustion onset to reduce knock. Spark timing may be controlled based on knock sensor 182 at various times, including during idle operation of the powertrain and non-idle operation.
Additionally, vibration signals 204 may be processed to identify NVH. NVH thresholds may establish, for example in accordance with known user-satisfaction levels. Typically, NVH thresholds are variable and depend on operating conditions of the vehicle. In any case, controller 206 may be configured to adjust engine load and/or engine speed during idle, based on vibration signals 204. Engine speed at idle is adjusted via control signals 210 (e.g., adjustment of air and/or fuel to the cylinders). Engine load at idle, which can also contribute to NVH, is adjusted via control signals 212. As described in more detail below, control signals 212 may be used to control a hybrid propulsion system, such as that depicted in
Note that the example control and estimation routines included herein can be used with various engine and/or hybrid powertrain configurations. The specific routines described herein may represent one or more of any number of processing strategies such as event-driven, interrupt-driven, multi-tasking, multi-threading, and the like. As such, various steps or functions illustrated may be performed in the sequence illustrated, in parallel, or in some cases omitted. Likewise, the order of processing is not necessarily required to achieve the features and advantages of the example embodiments described herein, but is provided for ease of illustration and description. One or more of the illustrated steps or functions may be repeatedly performed depending on the particular strategy being used. Further, the described steps may graphically represent code to be programmed into the computer readable storage medium in controller 12 or controller 206.
Referring now to
In the event of an idle condition, processing proceeds from 304 to 310, where the vibrations signals are processed to detect NVH. Processing at step 310 may include analysis of various sensor inputs and operating parameters/conditions of the vehicle in order to determine or set an NVH threshold for the specific operating point of the engine. Sensor inputs to electronic engine controller 12 may be used, for example, to dynamically set the NVH threshold. The vibration signals from the knock sensor may then be analyzed to determine whether the threshold has been exceeded.
The method continues at 312, where engine speed and/or load may be modified in response to the vibration signals. For example, engine speed and/or load may be modified if the vibration signals indicate an established NVH threshold has been exceeded.
Processing at 312 may include increasing or decreasing engine speed during the idle condition in order to bring NVH to within an acceptable level. Speed control may be performed via control over air and fuel being introduced into the combustion cylinders. In the embodiments of
Processing at 312 may include increasing or decreasing load on the engine during the idle condition in order to bring NVH to within an acceptable level. Load on the engine may be changed via a controlled change in the state of the electrical system of the vehicle, through control of the HVAC systems of the vehicle, or through other methods and controls.
A hybrid system may also be employed to vary engine load at idle in response to vibration signals indicating excessive NVH. Engine load may be reduced, for example, by controlling hybrid propulsion system 13 to operate in a motor mode. Hybrid propulsion system 13 would thus provide torque output to transmission 15, thus lessening the torque output needed from engine 10 to maintain a constant total torque at the transmission. Alternatively, hybrid propulsion system 13 may be controlled to operate in generator mode, thus increasing engine load, in response to the vibration signals indicating excessive NVH.
Referring now to
At 406, the vibration signals are processed and a determination is made as to whether the NVH threshold has been violated. As shown at 408, no adjustment is made if the threshold has not been violated. If the threshold has been violated, processing proceeds to 410, where it is determined whether an adjustment to engine speed is appropriate to address the NVH issue. Based on the vibration signals and other conditions, NVH levels may be modified by adjustment of engine speed, engine load, or both during the idle condition. If an engine speed adjustment is called for, appropriate adjustment is made at 412, in the manner described in the previous examples. Regardless of whether or not a speed adjustment is performed, the method includes determining whether the engine load at idle should be modified, as shown at 414.
If no load adjustment is needed, processing returns to 402. If an adjustment to engine load is warranted, modification is made at 416, as indicated. As described above, engine load modification may be made by controlling generator and motor modes of hybrid propulsion system 13, and/or through other controls.
Use of a vibration sensor such as that described above may also be employed to run diagnostic routines during assembly and testing. A knock sensor may be employed to detect variability issues with vehicle assembly, in order to identify potential NVH issues. According to one example, a knock sensor is used to detect vibrations of an engine, exhaust system or other components that have ground connections to the chassis or body of the vehicle. In this example, the vibration signals may be processed to identify NVH issues and/or verify proper installation (e.g., of the engine mounts, exhaust mounts, body panels, etc).

Product Description
[True Home] is cause for celebration, and I am grateful that [Anny Scoones] finds time to sit down and write. —The Times Colonist(2010-11-15)
The ongoing saga of Glamorgan farm is delivered by Anny Scoones with a winsome, intimate charm. She is as rare and perfectly ordinary as the west coast heritage farm she lives on. With disarmingly simple prose she reveals the day-to-day lives of the many creatures who share her world and we are made better for the reading about her and them. Her book is a gift to all of us. —Patrick Lane, author of There is a Season(2010-11-15)
Living close to the land over the years has taught Anny Scoones how to see the magic details that make life what it is—the laughter, the recipes, the joy and vexation of a cabbage growing competition, the majestic death of an old pig, how to use a 'soft eye' to look for the birds in the trees. She inhabits the presence of the natural world —Brian Brett, author of Trauma Farm(2010-11-15)
About the Author
Anny Scoones was raised in Fredericton, New Brunswick, has served as an elected city councillor, and now teaches English in Victoria. Anny lives in the neighbourhood of James Bay in Victoria, British Columbia.

turn the compressor clutch on the front of your compressor . if it moves you only need a ac service and maybe there might be a leak in your system... ac service usally is not expensive,unless you need a new compressor...

The Potato Pirates steal the show with a new CD
The Potato Pirates take various styles of music considered dead — or at least exhausted of ideas — and injects them with an infectious, youthful exuberance. Part ska, part punk, part whatever it is that this quintet has absorbed over the years, the resulting sound crackles with a wiry energy. The act's eponymous debut is nothing less than a great party record, yet subjects as weighty as racism, class and social oppression are tackled with thoughtfulness and humor. In advance of the band's CD-release show, we spoke with singer/guitarist Zach Capaldo-Smith and drummer Steve Stackhouse about the new album, the band's roots and its serendipitous Nederland connection.
Westword: How did you come up with the name for your band?
Zach Capaldo-Smith: Our singer in high school went through a phase when he was really into being Irish. He also went through a pirate phase. He went around through neighborhoods stealing stuff from open garages and hiding it at this fort by a lake. It's kind of like "Irish Pirates."
Was your album more of a live recording, or did you do more meticulous tracking?

Steve Stackhouse: We only had two days to do it, but we did do some detailed tracking. We drove to Sockout Studios in Fort Morgan really early in the morning and did fifteen- or sixteen-hour days of back-to-back recording. I was sick as a dog, but we laid out half the album the first day and did all the drum tracking. We did it as fast as we could and still make it sound good.
You played at Frozen Dead Guy Days in Nederland?
ZC: It was weird. They had a hearse race and a Grandpa Bredo look-alike contest. I had never heard of that or even Nederland before we played there.
SS: They had talked to our label, Filthy Beast Records, about having Synthetic Elements play and that they needed another band. Everybody loved us. They were open-minded and they invited us back, so hopefully we'll be playing it again this year.
ZC: We've seen people from up there coming down here for our shows, including this nine-year-old kid who had been dressed as a leprechaun.
What do you hope people get out of your album and your live shows?
ZC: We hope they keep coming back, and we try to build a sense of community, too. We try to mingle with people after we play. If anyone comes up to our merch table, we try to talk to them more than an "Oh, hey."
SS: A lot of bands, when they play, they hang out backstage after the show.
ZC: A lot of the kids that came to our earlier shows we hang out with all the time now.

Charts can be beautiful
Charts can be beautiful
Few people know this, but Illustrator lets you create charts and graphs, things like bar charts and pie graphs, from actual spreadsheet data. The program automatically takes numbers and turns them into graphs. But here's the thing: if you're a creative professional, you might regard graphs as downright dull, and as though to confirm your prejudice, Illustrator's initial attempts at graphing are the dullest things you've ever seen. Remarkably, there is nothing you can do about this. Illustrator starts each and every graph as a gray, blocky, horrifying monstrosity.
All right, so between you and me, it's an old feature; that is to say it's a bit clunky. But see, it's Illustrator. A graph might start awkward, but you can dig in and do everything and anything you like: change the colors, attach a few design symbols, or just break the chart apart and use it as the basis for a really cool piece of art, which is why in the potentially dull context of graphs, I offer you...
Charts can be beautiful provides you with in-depth training on Design. Taught by Deke McClelland as part of the Illustrator CS5 One-on-One: Mastery
