Toby Whithouse's Under The lake is packed with references, from a 7th Doctor story through to Star Trek. Here's what we spotted...
This article contains lots and lots of spoilers for Under The Lake.
Under The Lake may not be the Dalek-filled continuity fest of the last couple of weeks, but that doesn't mean it didn't set our geek senses tingling. Here's everything we were able to spot, from the obvious references to the slightly tenuous connections, from this week's episode...
Under The Lake is a perfect example of what's commonly referred to as a 'base under siege' story. These were a staple of the classic series, particularly during the Patrick Troughton era, not least because they meant the ever-stretched production team could save on the set budget. The first proper base-under-siege tale was William Hartnell's final story, The Tenth Planet, »

The superhero boom is about to come full circle.
Though 2008's Iron Man is generally held as the first great comic book movie of the current period (Batman Begins doesn't count, because while it's a superhero movie, it's about a million miles away from being a comic book movie), Watchmen probably did more to shape the McU and the Dceu. It was the moment when the post-superhero movie came into existence (assuming you ignore the claims of The Incredibles in 2004), launching the contradiction of pulpy tone and ideological weight that continues to shape the genre now.
And now, 6 years after the film – a flawed but brilliant adaptation of the source (no matter what Alan Moore might claim) – it looks like the source is going to be readapted by the same man for TV.
According to Collider, Zack Snyder has met with HBO to talk about a Watchmen TV series. »

Eve Hewson ("The Knick"), Gaite Jansen ("Supernova"), Lucy Fry ("Vampire Academy") and Gugu Mbatha-Raw ("Belle") are all reportedly in the running for the female lead opposite Taron Egerton in "Robin Hood: Origins" for Lionsgate.
Otto Bathurst ("Peaky Blinders") helms the project this gritty, revisionist take on the legend which is described as a "Batman Begins"-style take on the hero of Sherwood Forest.
In this one Robin returns from fighting in The Crusades and finds that Sherwood Forest is rife with corruption and evil. He forms a band of outlaws and they take matters into their own hands.
No actual offers have been made for the female role yet. Joby Harold, who also penned Guy Ritchie's gritty "King Arthur" project that has been filming this year, penned the script.
Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Davisson, Basil Iwanyk and Harold and Tory Tunnell are producing with filming to begin in February.

The Netflix catalog is not what you would describe as static. Every month . if not every few weeks . there are both new movies being added, and others being taken away. October will be no different, but now the streaming service has revealed the big shakeups that will be going down. We.ve combed through the list of films that will be both arriving and leaving Netflix next month, and picked out the best of the best that you should definitely try to see sooner rather than later (especially in the case of those that will be departing the service). Read on for the update! Coming: Batman Begins Along with Bryan Singer.s X-Men and Jon Favreau.s Iron Man, Christopher Nolan.s Batman Begins helped completely change the definition of "comic book movie" within the film industry . and it partially did so just by being really damn good.

A number of years ago, Warner Bros. had a Batman Beyond movie in development. However, like early ideas for Batman/Superman and Batman: Year One, it never escaped development hell, and Batman Begins soon led to the studio moving away from the idea.
For those of you unfamiliar with the premise, Batman Beyond (which started life off as a successful animated series and has since become a cult favourite, spawning lots of comic books and merchandise) is set a few decades in the future, with an elderly retired Batman and serving as a mentor to Gotham City's new Caped Crusader, Terry McGinnis.

During an appearance at the Salt Lake Comic-Con this weekend, The Flash star Robbie Amell was asked if he has any interest in the role, and as it turns out, Terry is a character he would love to play.

It's hard to believe that Batman Begins was released over a decade ago now. Before Christopher Nolan came along and revitalised the movie franchise, the character was in the toilet creatively thanks to Joel Schumacher's wretched Batman And Robin, and Begins felt like a breath of fresh air, a gritty shift away from the mouldy camp that defined his last few outings.
As visionary as Nolan's interpretation of the material was in both Begins and his later sequels, he certainly didn't do it all on his own. Nolan and co-writer David S. Goyer drew extensively from the huge back catalogue of Batman comics, some iconic classics and others less well-known, but all contributing significantly to crafting some of Begins' most memorable moments.
Some classic comic book panels have been painstakingly recreated by Nolan, whereas other ideas have been repurposed in the movie in »

Agatha Christie is one of those authors whose work is always being adapted in some fashion or other. And 20th Century Fox is now the home for a long-in-the-making deal to turn her book And Then There Were None into a film. The Intimidation Game's Morten Tyldum is aboard to call the shots. And probably the stabs. The Thing's Eric Heisserer will work on the script after he and Tyldum helped Shawn Levy's 21 Laps company come up with a pitch that won the Christie estate over after years of the team trying to score the rights. Christie's book sees 10 strangers lured to Soldier Island for different reasons, only to discover that they were gathered by false pretences. Turns out they're all guilty of different crimes, but got away with the deeds, and now someone has decided to start meting out some vigilante justice by bumping them off. »

Yesterday Rocksteady unleashed its latest Dlc for Batman: Arkham Knight – but unlike the 1989 Movie Batmobile pack which featured a Michael Keaton-era skin for the Caped Crusader – the 2008 Tumbler Batmobile Pack didn't include a version of the Batsuit worn by Christian Bale in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy.
As you'd expect, this led to the developer receiving a host of requests from fans, and now game director Sefton Hill has revealed that a Dark Knight Batsuit is in the works:
"We've had a lot of requests for the batsuit to go with the Tumbler," states Hill on Twitter. "We hear you so we're going to make it happen! Warning: the suits take a very long time to build because of the insane amount of detail. Expect it near the end of the year."

Don't worry! It's coming. Batman: Arkham Knight debuted the 2008 Batmobile Dlc yesterday. And fans were disappointed to see it missing one key element. While the Dlc pack did include the fan favorite Tumblr introduced in Christopher Nolan's blockbuster superhero epic The Dark Knight along with two musical tracks themed after the director's trilogy, there was no skin based on Christian Bale's Batsuit from the movie. That's going to change very soon, though.
Game director Sefton Hill has revealed that fan demand is so high for a skin based on Christian Bale's Batsuit that they are going to work on it right now. Though, don't sit waiting with baited breath. These additions take time. We probably won't see the skin introduced until Christmas or even early winter. Sefton Hill had this to say on his Personal Twitter.

No sooner had we reported on Rocksteady and Warner Bros. putting out new October Dlc involving new story chapters and challenge maps, that Rocksteady's own Sefton Hill has responded to the overwhelming fan-response in regards to September's Dark Knight trilogy Dlc, noting the team are going to build accurate Christian Bale skins for the game.

The biggest selling point of the upcoming twenty-fourth James Bond film "Spectre" is of course the return of the titular evil organisation last seen over four decades ago.
What isn't as clear, though heavily suggested, has been the return of the group's iconic villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld. While Christoph Waltz plays the villain in "Spectre," a character named Franz Oberhauser, it has long been suspected the name is a bluff along the lines of Liam Neeson's Henri Ducard in "Batman Begins" or Benedict Cumberbatch's John Harrison in "Star Trek Into Darkness".
The film's director Sam Mendes has partly addressed those rumors in a new interview with Empire, saying:
"The B-word! We talk about it all the time. It's the great figure from the Bond vault, as it were. There was this big spectre hanging over the movie and the franchise, which is Blofeld, and what happened to the supervillain. »

As his planned take on Utopia falls by the wayside, we look at the other David Fincher projects that haven't (yet) seen the light of day...
From the outset, David Fincher has honed a very distinctive visual style. Gritty and visceral, yet clean and precise, his back catalogue is very impressive. From Fight Club and Seven to The Social Network and Gone Girl, he has managed to make films that are both high quality and that people love. Yet they often also cost a lot of money and, due to the often uncompromising nature of his films, studios can be reluctant to give him exactly what he wants. The inevitable result is that differences become irreconcilable and projects collapse.
Below we look at some of the projects that have fallen by the wayside.

London — The U.K. production team behind Twentieth Century Fox Television's TV series "24: Live Another Day" was named team of the year at the Production Guild of Great Britain awards on Saturday. The awards, which took place at The Grove in Hertfordshire, recognize achievements made by guild members working in film or television within the production office, production accounts, location management, VFX, post-production or assistant directing roles.
The "24" team, which was led by producer and British Film Commission chairman Iain Smith, included unit production manager Kathy Nettleship, location manager Casper Mill and production accountant David Jones. "The production team delivered on every count, achieving a fast-paced, challenging shoot with precision. The speed of turnover of writing, shooting and going to air was unprecedented in British production with filming taking place around the clock and Fox's U.S. air dates rolling as the team worked," the guild said. »

Joel Schumacher's two Batman movies are full of their share of eccentric, hilarious and downright idiotic scenes, as evidenced no more than in our recent examination of Batman Forever's litany of Wtf moments. Now it's time to give the sequel, 1997's Batman and Robin, the very movie that killed Batman as a cinematic brand for 8 years until Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins, a thorough once-over.
It's popular to hate and laugh at the movie, and with good reason: Schumacher's thoroughly campy, cartoonish effort makes Forever look like a grimdark masterpiece by comparison, though in its defense, it does retain a perversely comical quality that's nevertheless kept it popular with ironic and boozed-up audiences.
It may be a terrible film by most standards, but while you can call it many things, boring isn't one of them. From the rampant homo-eroticism to the »

Daniel Craig will make his 007 comeback later this year with the release of Spectre, a continuation of the story started in Sam Mendes's Skyfall. Craig has re-energised the Bond franchise since his debut in 2006's Casino Royale, and all signs point towards Spectre being another worthy addition to the series.
Here's a rundown of everything you need to know about Spectre ahead of its cinema debut on October 26, 2015.
Sam Smith is performing the theme song, 'Writing's on the Wall'
Sorry, Ellie Goulding and Radiohead, the music star lending their voice to Spectre is none other than Grammy and Brit Awards winner Sam Smith.
Smith's track will be called 'Writing's on the Wall' and is available to buy and stream from September 25. As a bit of tasty trivia, Bond fans, he's the first British male solo artist to record a Bond theme since Tom Jones's 'Thunderball' in 1965.

Not content with giving Shakespeare a "grimdark" makeover in the forthcoming Macbeth, for his next trick Michael Fassbender will attempt to redeem that most derided of genres – the video game movie. As star and co-producer of a big screen adaptation of Ubisoft's stab-happy Assassin's Creed franchise, Fassbender is going where few A-listers have previously ventured. Can he bring credibility to this most scorned of cinematic sub-species?
It may comfort Fassbender to know he doesn't walk into the (uncanny) valley of potential professional suicide alone. By the time Fassassin's Creed (as we're calling it) reaches screens circa December 2016 the world will already have passed judgment on Moon director Duncan Jones's Warcraft, a $100 million plus riff on popular Mmorpg World Of Warcraft. That's two A-list video game adaptations within a year – a state of affairs unimaginable ever since the crash and burn of the Bob Hoskins-fronted $50 million dud Super Mario »

Christopher Nolan: Next movie has release date. Next Christopher Nolan movie release date Warner Bros. will release the first post-Interstellar Christopher Nolan movie on July 21, '17. The film has yet to be baptized. Warners, which began its days as the Rin Tin Tin studio, also released Nolan's Batman trilogy movies, which collected $2.463 billion worldwide. Besides, the studio handled the sorta sci-fier Inception (2010), which took in $825.53 million, in addition to earning a Best Picture Academy Award nomination. The outright sci-fier Interstellar, which received mixed-to-unenthusiastic reviews in North America, opened in Nov. 2014. The film went on to gross $675.02 million worldwide, $188.02 million of which in the U.S. and Canada. Paramount handled the domestic release, while Warners took care of the international distribution. Mystery Movie As for Nolan's upcoming effort, in case there is a screenplay (or a blueprint of one) or any prospective cast members, no details have been given out so far. »

We'd sign up for breaking news alerts on what Christopher Nolan had for breakfast each morning, so obviously we're two inches from the computer screen at the news that the "Interstellar" and "The Dark Knight" director has a new movie coming out ... on July 21, 2017. Mark your calendars now!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Nolan is making his next movie for longtime studio partner Warner Bros. What's the movie about? Who'll be in it? No clue. It wouldn't be a Chris Nolan movie if we knew this far in advance. All we really need to know is that it's coming. And "Pitch Perfect 3" and Luc Besson's "Valerian" should know that it's coming on the same release date, which is also a week before the new "Spider-Man." Who will win that summer box office? We'll know two years from now, but not a moment sooner.
One thing we're pretty sure about »

The "one-person meals" at this chic eatery, which came onto the scene in 2011, make hot pot (huo guo) less of a chore. Unlike most restaurants specializing in the DIY feast—groups gather over a giant pot of bubbling broth to cook raw meats and produce together—each diner gets their own bowl. As Chinese pop music pumps through the room—outfitted with sleek wood panels and satin banquettes—polo-wearing staff roll up to tables with overstuffed bowls of ingredients. A surf-and-turf combo arrives with a generous amount of sliced fatty beef and seafood—including head-on shrimp, fillets of whitefish and squid—as well as vegetables and vermicelli. Save the noodles for last: After you're done cooking, use the glassy strands to sop up the remaining broth—it's especially good with the Szechuan-style soup.

NEWARK, N.J. — Law enforcement officials said 16 kids from 13 states forced into prostitution for the Super Bowl, brought to the New York City area by pimps.
All were rescued in the two weeks leading up to the game, said Michael Osborn is the chief of the Violent Crimes Against Children Unit at the FBI.
The FBI says six children were rescued in Newark, N.J., six in New York City and four in New Haven, Conn. The kids ranged in age from 13 to 17. Some had been reported missing by their families.
Authorities also said more than 50 women forced to work as prostitutes were also rescued and more than 45 pimps were arrested.

Poster presentation
A large-scale computational model of the thalamocortical system containing specific thalamic structures and four layers of cat primary visual cortex (V1) has been developed and simulated in the parallel NEURON environment. The model represents a simplified version of the X visual pathway for one eye to the primary visual cortex of an adult cat and consists of the three connected subsystems (see Figure 1): Retina, Thalamus and V1 model. Cells are modeled as conductance-based single compartment Hodgkin-Huxley neurons [1]. Inputs to the LGN in response to visual stimuli are generated by a reimplementation of the retina model described in [2]. The modeled LGN consists of thalamocortical relay cells and local inhibitory neurons. Additional inhibition to the LGN is provided by the reticular thalamic nucleus (RTN) neurons, which together with the thalamic relay cells, receive strong feedback from Layer 6. The model is scaled to span approximately 1.9 × 1.9 mm2 of striate cortical surface. It is composed of ~10 000 neurons with ~1000000 connections. Connections from LGN to V1 produce an orientation selectivity map in Layer 4. The obtained orientation map is further used to infer the lateral connectivity inside Layer 2/3 in accordance with known principles governing horizontal local and long-range connections in V1 [3]. The model is constructed from currently available anatomical and physiological data [4,5]. The main focus of this work is to reproduce the response properties of cortical cells such as orientation preference and direction selectivity [6]. Using large-scale numerical simulations, we also study the spacial distribution of neuronal responses across the cortical layers and examine the mechanisms and principles that underlie the efficiency of the primary visual cortex. This work [7] was supported by an EPSRC research grant (Ref. EP/C010841/1).
Figure 1. Schematic of the model [7]. The retina is represented via two layers (ON and OFF) of retinal ganglion X-cells. The thalamic subsystem consists of several layers: two layers (ON and OFF) of thalamic relay cells together with local thalamic interneurons and one layer of thalamic reticular nucleus (RTN) neurons. The V1 module contains four layers of primary visual cortex (layers 4, 2/3, 5 and 6), modeled after a restricted portion of cat striate cortex (area 17). Red arrows denote the major feed-forward excitation flow in the model. Blue arrows show the direction of major feedback from the cortex to the thalamus.

The present invention relates to a closed-loop electronic control system for controlling combustion in a diesel engine operating with highly premixed combustion.
As is known, in the execution of the thermal cycle of a diesel engine reactions of oxidation of the fuel take place, in which the conditions of ignitibility of the fuel mainly depend upon the temperature, the pressure and the concentration of oxygen in the combustion chamber. Combustion is regulated by acting on the law of injection (amount of fuel injected per unit time), regulating the ignition delay and the amount of fuel that is accumulated in the chamber prior to the start of combustion.
In particular, in the process of combustion it is possible to highlight two distinct steps, namely:
In the first, premixing, step the fuel is self-ignited after having had time for mixing with the gas present in the combustion chamber.
The quality of said mixing depends upon the ignition delay, upon the form of motion of the gas in the chamber (turbulence, swirling motion, etc.) and upon the characteristics of the spray of fuel.
The mixing times are in any case much shorter than the ignition delay in the cases of common application, and therefore substantially all the fuel injected prior to the start of combustion is premixed.
The high degree of premixing enables the fuel to use the oxygen present in the chamber as well as possible, guaranteeing complete combustion without any emission of smoke. The step of premixed combustion is, however, responsible for combustion noise.
The diffusion step is instead characterized in that the fuel is injected into the chamber after combustion has started and hence in the presence of very high temperatures and pressures. In said conditions, the ignition delays are minimal, and the fuel is able to burn albeit in the presence of very low amounts of oxygen. It occurs, however, that part of the fuel, on account of the low degree of mixing, will not succeed in initiating or completing the reactions of combustion owing to the lack of oxygen with which to react, but at the same time will be heated considerably by the heat produced by the combustion in the chamber, leading to the formation of solid particles in the form of soot. The low degree of mixing is at the same time responsible for a greater production of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in so far as it leads to the formation of areas in the chamber more involved in the combustion, which remain at high temperatures for a long time (the so-called hot points), in which the NOx are more easily formed. The diffusion step is then responsible for the formation of the majority of the emissions of smoke and nitrogen oxides. At the same time, it is, however, characterized by a progressive release of energy, regulated by the law of injection of fuel, which generates low pressure gradients in the chamber and hence low combustion noise.
It is moreover known practice, for the purpose of regulating the noise and the emissions, to carry out a first injection, referred to as pilot injection, and at least one subsequent injection, referred to as main injection.
In particular, the pilot injection concurs in dividing combustion between a premixing step and a diffusion step. In fact, as the amount of fuel injected via the pilot injection increases, the ignition delay is reduced, and the amount of accumulated fuel to be burnt in the premixing step is reduced at the same time, thus leading to a lower combustion noise but an increase in pollutant emissions.
Conventional combustion is characterized by a compromise between emissions and combustion noise, which, once it has been defined in the design stage, must be as repeatable and reliable as possible, cylinder by cylinder, throughout the life of the engine.
For example, the patent applications EP-921.296 and DE-102.21.001 propose solutions in which the amount of fuel supplied using the pilot injection is adjusted in order to control the combustion noise and the instant of ignition. The patent EP-921.296 proposes the use of a noise sensor; and the patent DE-102.21.001 proposes the use of an ionization-current sensor, which is able to detect the start of combustion.
Furthermore, in order to reduce the emissions of NOx use is commonly made of the recirculation of burnt gases in the combustion chamber. This is known as exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR). According to this practice, there is introduced into the chamber a gas, the carbon dioxide present in the products of combustion, which is characterized in that it has a greater thermal capacity and hence is able to reduce the temperatures in the combustion chamber given the same heat developed by combustion, and is able to reduce the heat exchange between the hot areas of the chamber, with the overall effect of reducing the nitrogen oxides as a whole produced by combustion. Said amount of recirculated burnt gases reduces, however, the amount of oxygen in the chamber and hence, given the same degree of mixing of the gases, causes an increase in the emissions of smoke. The total amount of recirculated exhaust gases is usually controlled by means of a closed-loop control using an air-flow sensor.
As an alternative to the conventional diesel combustion outlined above, of considerable interest in the field of diesel engines is premixed-charge compression ignition (PCCI), which derives from the idea of premixing, either completely or to a very high extent, fuel and gas prior to the start of combustion, this tending towards the combustion of a homogeneous mixture and eliminating the disadvantages of diffusive combustion.
PCCI combustion is however possible only if the ignition delays are greater than the duration of the injection event and can be used only if it is possible to control the energy release of the premixed mass of fuel at the moment of ignition, in order to prevent damage to the engine and to control combustion noise.
In the case where it is possible to obtain combustion of a totally premixed mixture low emissions of smoke and NOx are obtained.
A series of studies has demonstrated the great difficulty involved in using PCCI combustion in all the ranges of use of the engine, when this is oriented towards an automotive use. This behaviour is highlighted in
The behaviour highlighted above, i.e., the impossibility of using the plane of operation of the engine completely, has led to the development of strategies (for example the ones described in WO 98/07973, U.S. Pat. No. 5,875,743, and EP-0997.624), in which the use of PCCI combustion is confined to certain given regimes and operating loads of the engine.
PCCI combustion is moreover characterized by a degree of instability due to the fact that, since long ignition delays are generated in order to obtain a high degree of premixing, start of combustion is uncoupled from phasing of injection, thus rendering problematical direct control of the start of combustion and of the engine angular position.
At the same time, in order to reduce energy release at the moment of ignition, for the purpose of preventing damage to the engine and excessive combustion noise, in the majority of applications recourse is had to a large amount of recirculated burnt gases, which may even reach 70% of the total mass of gas in the combustion chamber. In such conditions combustion risks degenerating into a misfire, at a minimal variation of the control parameters, the most important being the mass of recirculated exhaust gases, thus contributing to an increase in the potential instability in combustion.
Direct control of combustion applied to PCCI combustion hence becomes an indispensable tool for the very operation of the engine. Examples of documents that propose a direct control of combustion are the U.S. patent applications US20020007816, U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,637,404, 6,142,119, US20030230276, and US20020011240.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide an efficient and simple control strategy for PCCI combustion.
The above purpose is achieved by the present invention in so far as it relates to a closed-loop electronic control system for controlling combustion in a diesel engine operating with highly premixed combustion, in which an injection system is designed to obtain at least two fuel injections in one cylinder per engine cycle, said injections comprising at least one pilot injection and a subsequent main injection, said system being characterized in that it comprises:
a) the distance in time between the pilot injection and the main injection; and
b) the amount of fuel injected by means of the pilot injection.
The invention will now be illustrated with particular reference to the attached figures, which represent a preferred non-limiting embodiment thereof, and in which:
Designated, as a whole, by 1 in
In particular, the system 1 comprises a plurality of sensors 5 (of a known type) which are designed for measuring and/or calculating some quantities characteristic of the process of fuel combustion, for example the instant of start of combustion, the centroid of the process of combustion, the maximum derivative of the pressure cycle, the noise emitted during the combustion cycle, etc. The sensors 5 may be physical sensors designed for measuring directly said quantities or else virtual sensors designed for extrapolating the quantities by means of mathematical calculations based upon different input data. For example, in the absence of a specific sensor of combustion noise, said quantity can be measured starting from the pressure signal indicating the pressure inside the cylinder, calculating its derivative as a function of the engine angle and exploiting the direct proportionality that exists between combustion noise and maximum derivative of the pressure cycle.
The sensors 5 produce output signals which, after being treated by a processing block 7, are compared with reference values in a comparison block 10, which generates error signals that are supplied at input to a control block 12, which then performs a closed-loop control, based upon the input error signals, of the modalities of fuel injection.
In particular, the block 12 acts on an injection system 14 that controls injectors 15 used for fuel supply to the combustion chambers 16 of a diesel engine 17 (illustrated schematically). The injection system 14 is preferably of the common-rail type and is able to inject into the combustion chamber 16 of each cylinder two or more injections of fuel per engine cycle.
In particular, the injection system 14 is designed to obtain at least one first injection or pilot injection P, with which there is supplied a reduced amount of fuel Qp, followed in time by a second injection or main injection M, with which a larger amount of fuel Qm is supplied (See
Once the quantities have been measured by means of the sensors 5, the control system, at each engine cycle and for each cylinder, acts so as to cause the quantities measured to converge to the respective reference values.
In particular, according to the closed-loop control exerted according to the present invention at least one of the following parameters is regulated:
The amount of fuel Qp injected by means of the pilot injection P can, for example, be regulated by carrying out a pre-set number of successive cycles of opening of the injector. It is clear how the amount of fuel Qp injected increases as the number of cycles of opening of the injector increases.
Should a control according to point a) be implemented, the position in time of the main injection M is maintained constant, and the position in time of the pilot injection P is displaced.
Should a control according to point b) be implemented, which entails the variation in the amount of fuel Qp supplied with the pilot injection P, the amount of fuel Qm supplied with the main injection M is varied accordingly for the purpose of maintaining the amount of fuel (Qp+Qm) totally injected by means of the two subsequent injections P, M constant. For example, as the amount of fuel Qp injected with the pilot injection P increases, the amount of fuel Qm injected with the main injection M decreases, and vice versa.
According to the experimental data obtained by the present applicant it has been possible to note that, following upon modification of the distance in time Tp-m between the pilot injection P and the main injection M (
In particular, when the pilot injection P and the main injection M are extremely close to one another, for example set apart by an interval of 100 μs (
By delaying progressively the pilot injection P with respect to the main injection M, for example should the two injections be set apart by an interval of 400 μs, i.e., as the distance Tp-m (
There is thus a passage from a condition equivalent to a single combustion (
The reduction in the heat-release peak (
Consequently, the distance Tp-m is not increased by the system according to the present invention above a certain limit Tmax, beyond which the noise increases again (dashed part of curve).
Should the system reach the limit value Tmax and at the same time a further anticipation of the centroid of combustion be required, an increase in the distance Tp-m is no longer possible in so far as this would entail an increase in noise. In this case, the system shifts in time both the pilot injection P and the main injection M with respect to a reference (TDC). The further displacement of the centroid is thus obtained without any increase in combustion noise.
In this case, the pilot injection P must anyway supply a large amount of fuel in such a way that the variation of the distance in time Tp-m is able to modify markedly the centroid of combustion.
The system can therefore increase the distance in time Tp-m for the purpose of anticipating the centroid of combustion (
Likewise, when it is desired to delay the centroid of combustion, the control proceeds by bringing the pilot injection P closer to the main injection M (
The execution of the control according to b) (second control modality) entails (
In the case b), the regulation of the amount of fuel Qp injected with the pilot injection P is suited for a control of the centroid of combustion, whilst is far from effective or altogether ineffective in the control of the combustion noise (see once again
The two control strategies can be used individually or else simultaneously, thus summing the contributions that can be obtained from the individual strategies.
For example, for the purpose of regulating the position of the centroid of combustion there can be implemented:
Furthermore, for the purpose of reducing the combustion noise, it is possible to envisage the following operations: increasing the distance Tp-m (
It is emphasized how, both of the strategies a) and b) enable displacement of the centroid of combustion. In particular, the centroid of combustion is displaced towards smaller time values as Tp-m increases or as the fuel injected with the pilot injection P increases. This fact concurs to increasing the overall stability of combustion and is particularly advantageous should there be set up a condition of instability in the combustion itself.
A condition of instability can for example arise should there occur a long ignition delay and/or a large amount of recirculated burnt gases be supplied to the combustion chamber 16.
A sudden increase in EGR can in fact further increase the ignition delay, so causing a misfire.
According to the control proposed by the present invention, said conditions of instability can be detected and promptly countered by activating the control that shifts the centroid of combustion.
In order for PCCI combustion to be effective, it is necessary for the total amount of fuel injected to have time to premix prior to start of combustion.
The above fact imposes the need for the ignition delays to be longer than the injection times and would appear to be in marked contrast with the use of a pilot injection P. Traditionally, in fact, the pilot injection P is used for reducing ignition delays and limiting the accumulation of fuel and the step of premixing of the main injection M.
Finally, it is pointed out how the amount of fuel Qm injected by means of the main injection M can be determined according to the engine r.p.m. RPM and the engine load BMEP.
According to the present invention, the pilot injection P is used in an innovative manner and with functions different from those of traditional use in so far as it is executed in such a way as not to vary the ignition delay and the step of premixing of the main injection. In the present invention, the pilot injection P is carried out immediately prior to the main injection and in the presence of conditions of low ignitibility in the chamber. In this way, the two injections are completely premixed prior to burning, and the pilot injection P is unable to have any effect on the main injection M, since there is an excessive dispersion of the main injection in the combustion chamber to receive the heat of the pilot injection P. As illustrated in
The present invention has been described above using presently preferred embodiments, but such description should not be interpreted as limiting the present invention. Various modifications will become obvious, evident or apparent to those ordinarily skilled in the art, who have read the description. Accordingly, the appended claims should be interpreted to cover all modifications and alterations which fall within the spirit and scope of the present invention.

Revitalized Roots
Does anyone make better feel-good party music than Bob Marley? Throw this reggae great on the box and the vibe is instantly joyful and groovy, guaranteed. Usually we say don't mess with perfection when it comes to sacred artists like the Mar, but a new disc called Roots, Rock, Remixed is an exception. Featuring remixes of classics like "Soul Shakedown Party" (Afrodisiac Sound System) and "Rainbow Country" (DJ Spooky), it's an innovative, irie-stylee gem — and it's the first remix record approved by the Marley family to be released in conjunction with Tuff Gong Records. Afro Funké has always been one of the best nights in town for reggae and world rhythms, so it makes perfect sense as the setting for this party. The Afrodisiac crew and Yes King (who contributed a sizzling — and respectfully smooth and unfettered — version of "Sun Is Shining" to the CD) will be on the decks for the occasion, along with the always soulful spinning skillz of Jeremy Sole's Musaics. Rocky Dawuni hosts the night of One Love. Zanzibar, 1301 Fifth St., Santa Monica; Thurs., July 26, 9 p.m.-2 a.m.; over 21; more info at www.afrofunke.com.

Various: Great cafés
Trat has some great cafés
We ate or drank at the following
Pop restaurant-very cheap menu and decent sized salads (60bt for tuna, and 30bt shakes).
Service not too bad.
Always seemed busy with travellers
Pier112 is a real arty funky cafe with bug beanbags, hammocks and funky chairs to chill out on in their leefy garden.
Inside are hundreds of books and other items such as an old moped and a sowing machine. Great place to chill out for the afternoon
Uncle Jong is run by a lovely old lady who does the cooking as well as taking orders. It's a small place with a small thai menu and locals eat here too.
The chicken stir fry with veg and rice was just 40baht and very tasty
Corner cafe (not cozy corner) looks great from the outside advertising cakes etc. the chocolate lava cake with ice cream was as good as it sounds but pricey at 95baht. But service was miserable.
Cool Corner restaurant.: It's not on the corner at all.
You would think that if you called a restaurant the Cool Corner the chances are that it would be, well, on a corner. Of course, it's not. This is not, however, the fault of Morn the larger than life owner but due to the fact that the original incarnation of the place burnt down a couple of years ago. I have no idea what it was like but the current premises are very pleasant with a hammock, chillout area, verandah tables and all sorts of knick knacks, probably reflecting Morn's status as an Art graduate. The musical policy here is eclectic to say the least. World music seems to predominate and I must say I find it slightly odd eating Thai cuisine with it's very distinctive flavours whilst listening to African palm wine guitar.
Which brings me more or less neatly to the food itself which is nothing short of magnificent. The menu, itself interestingly presented in CD covers, is varied and covers a good range of Thai and Western dishes, with a seperate breakfast menu also available. On my first visit, I opted for the Thai red curry with pineapple and pork and it was stunning. I have eaten a lot of Thai food both in Thailand and elsewhere and this was one of the best dishes I have ever had. It really was that tasty. On another occasion, I tried the Indian yellow curry which is offered with naan brad or rice. The curry was not authentic Indian but extremely tasty nonetheless and the naan was strictly speaking a paratha (folded and fried in oil as opposed to baked in a tandoor) but that is to quibble, both were very good.
Whilst the purists may argue it is not an "authentic" Thai restarant, and this is true, I really don't care. If you want extremely tasty food in pleasant surroundings with decent service, this is the place to be.
Highly recommended.

Pier 112 restaurant.: There isn't a pier here.
There is something slightly odd about the restaurant naming system in Trat. In the same way as the Cool Corner restaurant is not on a corner, so the Pier 112 restaurant doesn't have a pier, although it has some garden tables overlooking the river. Perhaps the pier was removed to accomodate the new walkway, I don't know. What it does have is a very pleasant layout, some excellent food, decent service and about the only draught beer I found in town.
Most of the seating is al fresco, no bad thing in the heat of March, and I had plenty of choice as the place seemed pretty empty. This surprises me as what followed was a very pleasant eating experience. You should treat yourself to a look around the place as there are some curiosities there from the gaudily painted old sportscar you can see in the photo to a collection of old toys in a cabinet and a wonderful old shipping sign inside.
Service was prompt and friendly and the English menu quite extensive, offering both Thai and Western food. Having eaten earlier, I really only wanted a snack and ordered the minced prawn in batter (actually breadcrumb) which duly arrived with a dipping sauce and was completely delicious washed down with a draught Chang Beer. In fact, the portion was rather larger than "snack" proportions and would easily have satisfied as a main.
- Food and Dining
- Beer Tasting
Unnamed cafe.: Watch the world go by.
There is a cafe which sits at the junction of Th. Sukhumvit and Th. Lak Meuang. If there could be said to be a main road junction in Trat, I suppose this would be it. Although there is no sign naming the premises, I feel fairly confident in saying that it is a sister establishment to Pier 112 (see seperate tip). This does not make me Sherlock Holmes material but the fact that they use the same (if abridged) menu is a bit of a giveaway. It is a good place to stop for a coffee or an excellent fruit juice and watch as the business of Trat goes on around you.
There is a limited menu, and I only had a toasted sandwich as a snack one day, which was well done, although I suppose you can't really go wrong, short of burning the toast!
Favorite Dish: The toastie as described.
- Beer Tasting
- Food and Dining
Cool Corner: Take a chill
Not only an amazing good kitchen, but as well a hell of a personality. Morn is more then just a cool woman. She's not aways open because she's just to much of a life enjoyer herself. A traveler that takes off every rainseason to explore Asia, sometimes working in the film industry and quite an accomplished writer in Thailand (style Bridget Jones). She's got an amazing CD collection going from easy chill out, hiphop, altenative etc, all in an ambiance of ... well, we're all just hangin out here, aren't we. Type, well the fridge is over there, just take what you need and the bill will follow one day soon.
Favorite Dish: Definatly go for the tuna sandwiche, but her currys are amongst the best as well

Kristin Murphy, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — In addition to the lights, decorations and music that will abound on Temple Square after Thanksgiving, a special event will be taking place in the Salt Lake Tabernacle on Saturday, Nov. 30.
"A Celebration of Christ: An Interfaith Concert" will return for its second year with performances at 4:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. This year's concert will feature Vocal Point, Jenny Oaks Baker, Kevin Olusola and the Engemann Brothers. Also performing will be the Snow College Orchestra and Choir, interfaith choirs and various guest artists from differing denominations.
Special effects will be used to turn the dome of the Tabernacle into an Italian cathedral, a night sky, the nativity and more, according to the concert's website at lds.org/events.
The songs performed will include familiar Christmas music combined with inspirational selections. Music composer and arranger Taryn Elkins described how songs such as "Silent Night/Be Still My Soul" could bring tears, while a "Sleigh Ride/Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam" piece may feel more fun.
Elkins said one of her goals for the concert is for audience members to "feel a little bit of everything."
"What I would like audience members to feel is just, whatever faith you are, the commonality of all of our religions in Christ and just being able to celebrate that," she said. "Celebration, to me, means all of those different emotions."
Baker, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said she is excited to join with other artists of different faiths to perform in the Tabernacle and share her testimony through music.
"I think sacred music has a very powerful spirit to it, and I think it can go beyond words. Sometimes it has words, and sometimes it doesn't, but the emotions are always there. I always try to take people on a musical journey and have them leave better than they came," said Baker, a violinist and recording artist.
Tickets for the concert, which is being presented by Foundation 4Life, are $10 for general admission and $25 for VIP seating. They are available by calling 801-570-0080 or visiting lds.org/events. A $1.50 convenience fee is added to the cost of each ticket purchased online.
For more information on "A Celebration of Christ" and other Temple Square events, visit lds.org/events.

Visitors to this site may have noticed that the jukebox was not displaying our free mp3's over recent weeks. This was due to a technical glitch concerning Box.com, changing from a Flash based format to Inline frames. Would have been handy if they'd let us know in advance.
After a lot of faffing about, phone calls to their offshore support network and tedious work with code, I finally got to the bottom of it and so the jukebox is now up and running again.
I had to go through the entire site and change all the audio widgets. Some of them are still not
displaying properly, but I hope to correct all of this in time. So apologies to visitors who may not have been able to access partcular audio files.

Sad to get the news about Dave Bowater of legendary Brighton punk band Smeggy & the Cheesy Bits.
Although I never knew him back in the day, he was a regular contributer to punkbrighton and
he had a fantastic sense of humour as evidenced on his wonderful House of Cheese website.
Read tributes on our April email page and find details of his funeral at the Isle of Wight Crematorium on 27 April 2015
RIP Dave, you made a lot of people laugh.

Mr Chill meets punkdaddy
Mr Chill, former Dodgems front man Gary Turner and punkdaddy, ex-Flesh/Lillettes/April & The Fools guitarist Phil Perfect joined forces back around 2010 and the result is the eagerly awaited debut album Devil's Music.
These two had known each other since about 1972. During the heyday of punk they frequently shared the stage with their respective bands at The Vault, The Richmond and The Buccaneer.
They first got together to record I Blame Rock n Roll under the banner of The Dodgems feat. punkdaddy. This was put together almost entirley by sending each player's part as an mp3 attached to an email and then mixed and recorded at punkdaddy's.
The other Dodgems were far flung around the globe since the heady days of Lord Lucan (have they found him yet?) with drummer Charlie Zuber out in Tasmania, Paul Birchall in South Africa, Doug Potter up in Manchester and Gary the only remaining Brighton connection.
punkdaddy had made a solo album, Retard In The White House (2006), a mash up of samples and his own guitar work and having got that out
of his system wanted to work with a singer and get back to his punk rock roots.
Enter Dick Damage, who contacted punkdaddy through this very website, the pair hadnt clapped eyes on each other for something like 25 years,
punkdaddy: "Me and Dick made an album from his words and my tunes, we called it TSDS after his song The Shit Dont Stick (2007). We had a lot of fun making it and it was all done upstairs at mine just using a mic, a mac and a guitar."
Dick sadly passed away in 2011, which is well documented elsewhere in this site.
Wanting to continue working with a singer and lyric writer, punkdaddy hooked up with Mr Chill, who himself was on the lookout for a tunesmith to turn his words into music.
Mr Chill: "The first song we wrote was Angie. Really the whole album came out of that one song. It's a sad song about losing the person you love to an incurable disease, but punkdaddy came up with a melody that was so well matched to the lyric that we knew there was more to come..."
Visit their website
• The album Mr Chill meets punkdaddy is available on CD Baby, iTunes and Spotify
The British Music Archive is a non-profit music and heritage website that features an audio streaming library of commercially unreleased recordings (demos) with associated biographies. It celebrates the less-established bands that define the real story behind the British rock underground.
The website is presently dominated by underground acts from the 1960s that barely made it out of their respective suburbs, but unwittingly contributed so richly to our youth culture and music history and yet sadly, disappeared largely unrecognised.
With your help, we would like to broaden our musical content so that we can portray the underground music scene post 1970. To do this, all we would be asking for is your permission for your music (as featured on punkbrighton) to appear simultaneously on a website that has a similar theme, but with music drawn nationwide.
If you would like to know more about this website, please visit: www.britishmusicarchive.com
Regular punkbrighton contributor and the man who wrote the Attrix Memoirs, Stuart Jones is back on the radio. Sort of. He's put together a webpage of podcasts which you can play or download, one-hour programmes stuffed with the head-spinning variety of music normally found on his very popular Mr.Obscure webpage.
There are rarities, archive treasures, original demo recordings of famous stuff, bizarre comedy items and much more.
The new page is called Radio Obscure and you can get to it here.
punkbrighton is an online museum created and maintained by it's creator and curator, punkdaddy. I started off with a tatty old box file supplied to me by one Rick Blair, an amiable fellow, a man of integrity and a personal friend. That was in February 1999. I asked Rick if he could let me have any old photos and press cuttings from his days as creator and boss of Attrix Records, Brighton's first truly independent record company, set up in 1977, and as ever, he was obliging.
Rick offered to write the first article for the spawning punkbrighton site and I was about to lend him my old Olivetti typewriter when he died suddenly in May 1999. It was such a blow to everyone who knew him, but it made me all the more determined to get all his Attrix Records stuff online so that it wouldn't die with him. Over the years, site visitors have supplied hundreds of additional photos, press cuttings, mp3's and their own recollections to help make the site what it is today.
Launched in January 2000, punkbrighton was pretty soon nominated for a Yahoo Web Award, which was a bit of a surprise, because although the site functioned properly and had quite a bit of content, I thought the layout was shite. I've tried to improve it over time but it wasn't until ten years later, in 2010, that I finally felt able to let rip with some artistic input.
I hope punkbrighton does justice to all the bands and everyone else who was involved in the mighty upheaval that kicked off with the advent of punk. if you've got stuff, send it in.
