Abstract:

A method of selecting a performance trim set for a control algorithm from multiple performance trims sets contained in a read only memory. The selected trim set is used by a control system for a motor vehicle, such as a traction control system. The selected trim set is determined by a trim set identification. The trim set identification is determined every ignition cycle from the system messages. A default trim set identification can be provided until the vehicle identification for a particular motor vehicle is received through the system messages. Thus, a failsafe is provided to ensure that a valid trim set is used for that particular motor vehicle.

Abstract:

A financial product is based on a first fund that is traded on a trading marketplace in a first country. The financial product is registered in the first country. The first fund has the characteristics of being based on an index of securities that are traded in a second, different country. The first fund is arbitragable with a second fund that is based on the index and which is registered in a second different country. The first fund has a creation unit basis that is substantially the same basis as a creation unit basis for the second fund. The calculation of the net asset value of the first fund occurs at essentially or exactly the same time that second country fund has its NAV calculated.

Abstract:

An engine system includes a throttle actuator module and a torque control module. The throttle actuator module controls a throttle actuator based on a desired throttle area. The torque control module determines an actuator torque. The torque control module determines a rate limited torque, a maximum torque, and a minimum torque based on the actuator torque and a predetermined rate of change. The torque control module determines the desired throttle area based on the actuator torque when the rate limited torque is greater than the maximum torque. The torque control module determines the desired throttle area based on the actuator torque when the rate limited torque is less than the minimum torque.
