THREE-WAY SYSTEM [11 records]

Record 1 2013-05-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ignition Systems (Motor Vehicles)
CONT

There is clear agreement among the manufacturers that the basic emission control approach will be the closed-loop, three-way catalyst system. In addition to the catalyst, the typical system will consist of exhaust gas recirculation(EGR), air injection(pulse air in light vehicles, air pump in heavy vehicles), oxygen sensor, micro-computer, and feed-back carburator or electronic fuel injection.

Custom calling feature, in which a customer can add a third party to an existing conversation. When the third party answers, a private two-way conversation with that party can be held before bridging the connection for a three-way conference.(ENBELL, 80 : 58) The basic system shall include arrangements for the economical future addition of memory and necessary hardware for the following optional custom calling features : call waiting, call forwarding, three-way calling, and abbreviated dialing.(USDA/REA, 80 : 3)

CONT

The CRC results were based on seven 1977-78 model year cars, all of which were calibrated to meet California standards. Advances in sensor technology since then may have alleviated some of the problem. If the sensor prematurely fails on a three-way catalyst system, feed-back control is lost.

THE TECHNOLOGY AND COSTS TO CONTROL AUTOMOTIVE EMISSIONS IN CANADA.... The selection of a three-way catalyst system, or more correctly, a U. S. federal emission control system, is dictated solely by production volume consideration; this system would be selected whenever costs for development, certification, and compliance of a unique Canadian system exceed the costs of a U. S. federal system.

  • Électroacoustique
CONT

Il est difficile (et coûteux) de fabriquer un haut-parleur ayant une courbe de réponse acoustique régulière (40 Hz à 20 000 Hz ou mieux 30 Hz à 22 000 Hz). Une solution économique consiste à couper en deux cette plage de fréquence en la séparant entre 1 000 et 2 000 Hz. Cette séparation est faite par le filtre deux voies.
