20100324310 | Catalytic Conversion of Cellulose to Liquid Hydrocarbon Fuels by Progressive Removal of Oxygen to Facilitate Separation Processes and Achieve High Selectivities - Described is a method to make liquid chemicals, such as functional intermediates, solvents, and liquid fuels from biomass-derived cellulose. The method is cascading; the product stream from an upstream reaction can be used as the feedstock in the next downstream reaction. The method includes the steps of deconstructing cellulose to yield a product mixture comprising levulinic acid and formic acid, converting the levulinic acid to γ-valerolactone, and converting the γ-valerolactone to pentanoic acid. Alternatively, the γ-valerolactone can be converted to a mixture of n-butenes. The pentanoic acid so formed can be further reacted to yield a host of valuable products. For example, the pentanoic acid can be decarboxylated yield 1-butene or ketonized to yield 5-nonanone. The 5-nonanone can be hydrodeoxygenated to yield nonane, or 5-nonanone can be reduced to yield 5-nonanol.

Email messages may not be delivered to the Customer for various reasons including the situations where the Customer employs anti-SPAM protective technologies. The system and method of the present invention establish a Communication Link between a Customer's Computer and Registrar's Server, which avoids anti-SPAM protective technologies and email messaging altogether. Information relating to the communication may be stored on a database and the system may present the Customer with various options relating to a domain service. The implementation of this invention would result in a higher rate of delivered messages to the Customer. | 11-11-2010 |

20080314361 | IDLE QUALITY BY TORQUE SMOOTHING - An idle speed control system for an engine includes an engine speed module that generates an engine speed signal. A piston reciprocation module determines reciprocation periods of each piston of cylinders of the engine based on the engine speed signal. A difference module determines a period difference between each of the reciprocation periods and an idle period associated with a target idle speed. A spark timing module regulates an idle speed of the engine including adjustment of spark timing for each of the cylinders individually based on period differences. | 12-25-2008 |
20090031724 | Energy recovery system - An energy recovery system is provided having a fluid configured to absorb and convey thermal energy. The system also has an exhaust treatment device cooling system configured to transmit thermal energy from an exhaust treatment device to the fluid. In addition, the system has a turbine that is driven by the fluid configured to convert at least a portion of the thermal energy to mechanical energy. The system further has a generator that is powered by the turbine configured to convert at least a portion of the mechanical energy to electrical energy. | 02-05-2009 |
20090035870 | Particle sensor - A particle sensor is provided having a first temperature sensing device having a sensing surface exposed to particles contained within a fluid. The sensing surface is at least partially coated with a catalyst for promoting an exothermic reaction with at least a portion of the particles. The particle sensor also has a second temperature sensing device positioned at a location substantially thermally isolated from thermal energy generated by the exothermic reaction. | 02-05-2009 |
20090108095 | Anti-coking fuel injection system - A fuel injection system is disclosed. The fuel injection system has a nozzle member configured to receive fuel and having at least one injection orifice and a valve disposed with the nozzle member and movable between an open position at which fuel flows through the at least one orifice and a closed position at which fuel flow through the at least one orifice is blocked. The fuel injection system also has an actuator coupled to the valve and configured to move the valve between the open position and the closed position in response to a signal applied thereto and a controller in communication with the actuator, the controller being configured to apply to the actuator an ultrasonic frequency signal such that the valve remains at or between the open position or the closed position and vibrates at the ultrasonic frequency. | 04-30-2009 |
20090205599 | ADAPTIVE INDIVIDUAL DYNAMIC VOLUMETRIC EFFICIENCY OPTIMIZATION FOR ENGINES WITH VARIABLE CAM PHASERS AND VARIABLE LIFT - A control system for an engine having a camshaft that is associated with an intake valve and a cam phaser that interfaces with the camshaft includes an air flow sensor that outputs first and second air flow signals based on mass air flow (MAF) delivered to the engine. An engine control module communicates with the air flow sensor and the cam phaser. The cam phaser adjusts an actuation time when the camshaft opens the intake valve during rotation of the camshaft. The control module further receives a rotational position signal based on the rotational position of the cam phaser and determines a rotational position of the cam phaser that delivers maximum air to the engine based on a first air flow signal measured prior to adjusting the cam phaser and a second air flow signal measured subsequent to adjusting the cam phaser. | 08-20-2009 |
20120009688 | PARTICLE SENSOR - A particle sensor is provided having a first temperature sensing device having a sensing surface exposed to particles contained within a fluid. The sensing surface is at least partially coated with a catalyst for promoting an exothermic reaction with at least a portion of the particles. The particle sensor also has a second temperature sensing device positioned at a location substantially thermally isolated from thermal energy generated by the exothermic reaction. | 01-12-2012 |

20100168988 | FUEL INJECTOR FLOW SHIFT COMPENSATION IN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A method of operating a fuel injected multi-cylinder internal combustion engine includes establishing a flow shift compensation term by comparing a pre-flow shift value with a post-flow shift value. The pre-flow shift value is indicative of a pre-flow shift fueling signal duration linked with an engine test speed, and the post-flow shift value is indicative of a post-flow shift fueling signal duration linked with the engine test speed. The method further includes controlling an engine speed via outputting fueling signals from a digital engine speed governor to a plurality of fuel injectors of the internal combustion engine. The fueling signals have a fueling signal duration based at least in part on an electronically stored fueling signal value and the flow shift compensation term a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine includes a control system configured to control an engine speed via outputting fueling signals having fueling signal durations based at least in part on electronically stored fueling signal values modified according to the flow shift compensation term. | 07-01-2010 |
20130152907 | ELECTRONIC INDUCTION SYSTEM TUNING - Electronic induction system tuning featuring electronic pressure charging for an intake tract of an internal combustion engine is disclosed herein. The electronic pressure charging system includes a pressure sensor, a signal generator, and a wave generator. The signal generator causes the wave generator to create a pressure wave in response to monitored parameters and a pressure wave detected by the pressure sensor. The generated pressure wave may be added to, cancel, or otherwise modify the detected pressure wave to increase, decrease, or otherwise manipulate the pressure within a combustion chamber of the engine. | 06-20-2013 |

20100168983 | Internal combustion engine, control system and operating method for determining a fuel attribute - A method of operating a fuel injected multi-cylinder internal combustion engine includes electronically storing a first value or reference value indicative of an engine speed response to a commanded fueling duration change during fueling the engine with a first fuel or reference fuel, such as a known type of diesel fuel. The method further includes operating the internal combustion engine in a fuel testing mode during fueling with a second fuel or test fuel, such as an unknown type of diesel fuel. The fuel testing mode includes determining a second value or test value indicative of an engine speed response to a commanded fueling duration change, comparing the test value with the reference value and outputting a fuel attribute signal which is based at least in part on comparing the reference value and the test value. If a difference between the reference value and the test value satisfies corrective action criteria, a corrective action such as adapting fuel injector control signal duration or shutting down the engine can be taken. An engine and control system whereby the operating method is executed are also provided. | 07-01-2010 |
