| 20090014674 | Valve regulation assembly - The present invention is directed to a bypass valve assembly having a valve housing with an inlet port, outlet port, and bypass port all formed within the valve housing. A valve member is operably connected to the valve housing and includes a first valve plate and second valve plate that face in substantially opposite directions from each other. The first valve plate articulates to form a tight barrier with the outlet port when the valve member is in a first position, and the second valve plate articulates to form a tight barrier with the bypass port when the valve member is in a second position. | 01-15-2009 |

| 20090293963 | EGR SYSTEM AND EGR VALVE WITH INTEGRATED PRESSURE SENSOR - A valve having a valve body with an inlet port and an outlet port and a valve disposed between the inlet port and outlet port. A sensor is operably associated with the valve and the valve body, and measures a characteristic in proximity to the valve. The sensor communicates information regarding said characteristic to a control unit that sends position commands to said valve. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20090294711 | CONTROL ALGORITHM FOR FREEING AN EGR VALVE FROM CONTAMINATION ADHESION - A method of controlling a device having restricted movement. A controller is provided for controlling the operation of the device using a control algorithm. A normal operation control method is programmed onto the controller and is selectively activated by the controller to generate a normal control signal. A forcing control method is also programmed into the controller and selectively activates a forcing control signal. The normal operation control signal provides regular operation of the device, while the forcing control signal causes the device to operate in a manner that will correct the operation of the device when a restricted motion of the device is detected. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20100293922 | COMBUSTION ENGINE BREATHING SYSTEMS, COMPONENTS THEREOF AND METHODS OF OPERATING AND CONTROLLING THE SAME - A method including obtaining information representative of the amount of oxides of nitrogen and the amount of particulate matter being produced by a combustion engine, and adjusting the amount of oxides of nitrogen and the amount of particulate matter being produced by the combustion engine by controlling the amount of combustion engine exhaust gas re-circulating through an EGR cooler and through an EGR cooler bypass line using the information. | 11-25-2010 |
