20110047966 | APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID HEATING CONTROL - According to one embodiment, an apparatus for controlling the heating of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) in a DEF delivery system includes a temperature comparison module that compares a difference between a sensed ambient air temperature and a sensed DEF tank temperature with a predetermined temperature difference threshold. Additionally, the apparatus includes a DEF heating status module that is configured to generate a DEF heating command according to (i) the sensed ambient air temperature if the difference between the sensed ambient air temperature and sensed DEF tank temperature is less than the predetermined temperature threshold; and (ii) the sensed DEF tank temperature if the difference between the sensed ambient air temperature and sensed DEF tank temperature is more than the predetermined temperature threshold. The apparatus also includes a DEF heating control module that is configured to control the heating of the DEF according to the DEF heating command. | 03-03-2011 |
20140033683 | SYSTEM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS FOR AFTERTREATMENT SYSTEM MONITORING - A method includes determining whether a urea refill event is detected, and clearing a quality accumulator value and clearing a latching abort command. The method includes determining whether urea fluid quality check abort conditions are met, and clearing the urea quality accumulator, latching the abort command, and exiting the reductant fluid quality check. In response to the abort conditions not being met, incrementing the urea quality accumulator according to an amount of urea being injected, and comparing the accumulated urea quantity to a low test threshold. The method includes, in response to the accumulated urea quantity being greater than the low test threshold, comparing the accumulated urea quantity to a high test threshold, and in response to the urea quantity being greater than the high test threshold, determining whether the a NO | 02-06-2014 |

20110126318 | SUCROSE TRANSPORTER GENES FOR INCREASING PLANT SEED LIPIDS - This invention relates to polynucleotide sequences encoding SUT2 or SUT4 sucrose transporter genes. Methods for increasing seed oil content and evaluating increased oil content in a plant seed are described. The compositions and methods disclosed herein employ a variety of sequences that encode sucrose transporters and a variety of sequences that influence fatty acid accumulation, including for example, DGAT, Lec1 and ODP1 transcription factor. In specific embodiments, overexpression of SUT2 and/or SUT4 sucrose transporters in combination with DGAT genes further increase plant seed oil production compared to a high oil plant comprising recombinant DNA constructs that do not overexpress SUT2 or SUT4 transporters. | 05-26-2011 |
