20100077998TURBOCHARGER BOOSTER SYSTEM - A turbocharged engine includes an internal combustion engine and a turbocharger powered by engine exhaust flow from the internal combustion engine to supply the engine with compressed intake air. The turbocharged engine further includes a turbocharger booster system with a dry low emissions burner. The burner fluidly communicates with an exhaust manifold of the engine and is operable to inject a combustion gas flow into the engine exhaust flow. The hot combustion gas flow is operable to increase the exhaust energy available to the turbocharger and thereby increase the output of compressed intake air.04-01-2010

20100023369TURBOCHARGER FLEET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A system of monitoring the performance characteristics of a turbocharged engine and forecasting a performance parameter based on measured data include sensor components for measuring various performance parameters such as pressures and temperatures. The measured data may be received by electronic components that forward the data through networking components to computing components. The data may be stored in a database. Methods for forecasting turbocharger performance and indicating turbocharger malfunctions include retrieving measured data, performing calculations to correct at least a portion of the measured data, retrieving input from a user, performing regression analysis to determine a forecasting model used to forecast future values, and determining a time when the future values reach a user-specified level.01-28-2010

20090019018DATABASE QUERY TABLE SUBSTITUTION - The subject mater herein relates to requesting data from a database and, more particularly, to database query table substitution. Various embodiments provide systems, methods, and software to evaluate requests for data from a database and make table substitutions in the request to reduce a number of tables queried. Some embodiments include receiving a data request including data from two or more database table columns and building a list of all database tables specified in the data request. Some such embodiments further include, for each column in the data request, identifying each table from the list of all tables within which the column is present and identifying a least number of one or more tables that together include all of the columns of the data request. The data request may then be modified by changing the table of one or more of the columns in the received data requests.01-15-2009
