| 20110053733 | ENGINE STARTING CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR A HYBRID VEHICLE - A hybrid powertrain includes an engine having a crankshaft, and a hybrid transmission having an input member, an output member, and at least one motor/generator operable to provide or receive torque. A damper connects the crankshaft with the input member. A bi-directional rotational position sensing system operatively connects with either the crankshaft or an input side of the damper, and is configured to sense the rotational position and direction of the crankshaft, and provide a position signal indicative thereof. At least one controller is configured to receive the position signal and to provide a torque command to the motor/generator based at least in part on the position signal. The torque command is operable to cause the motor/generator to substantially cancel an expected engine torque pulse associated with the sensed rotational position during starting of the engine with the damper open. A method for controlling the hybrid powertrain is provided. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110066308 | PREDICTIVE ENERGY MANAGEMENT CONTROL SCHEME FOR A VEHICLE INCLUDING A HYBRID POWERTRAIN SYSTEM - A method for controlling a vehicle having a hybrid powertrain includes monitoring vehicle navigation and traffic patterns associated with a predicted travel path. It extends the powertrain instantaneous controller into a predictive control framework, and utilizes previewed traffic and geographic information based on on-board sensing and navigation information. An impending road load is predicted from which a fuel cost factor is optimized under a model predictive control framework. A state-of-charge trajectory is predicted from the impending road load and operation of the hybrid powertrain system is controlled in response thereto. | 03-17-2011 |

| 20100155304 | TREATMENT OF HYDROCARBONS CONTAINING ACIDS - The invention relates to a method of treating a liquid hydrocarbon (e.g. heavy oil, bitumen, etc.) containing naphthenic acids or other corrosive acids in order to partially or fully convert such acids into non-corrosive compounds. The method comprises adding an alkylating agent to the hydrocarbon, bringing the hydrocarbon into contact with an aqueous liquid containing an alkaline compound and a phase transfer catalyst to form an immiscible two-phase system, maintaining the contact to allow conversion of the naphthenic acids to non-corrosive oil-soluble esters, and separating the aqueous phase from the liquid hydrocarbon. Naphthenic acids are highly corrosive to plant and equipment and the method enables them to be converted to non-corrosive compounds in an economic manner. | 06-24-2010 |

| 20090048094 | SULFUR-RESISTANT NOBLE METAL NANO-PARTICLES ENCAPSULATED IN A ZEOLITE CAGE AS A CATALYST ENHANCER - A sulfur resistant catalyst is taught having noble metal nano-particles contained in a zeolite cage having a final pore size of between about 2.9 Å and about 3.5 Å. The zeolite cage is either directly synthesized, or the final pore size of the zeolite cage is reduced by post-treatments selected from chemical vapour deposition, chemical liquid deposition, cation exchange and combinations thereof to allow passage of hydrogen molecules into the cage while excluding organic sulfur molecules. Disassociated hydrogen species from reaction with the noble metal spill over through the zeolite pores to induce hydrogenation and to regenerate neighboring catalyst supports. A method is also taught for producing a sulfur resistant catalyst having noble metal nano-particles. The method involves either synthesizing a zeolite cage having a final pore size of between about 2.9 Å and about 3.5 Å or reducing the size of pores in the zeolite cage by a post treatment selected from chemical vapour deposition, chemical liquid deposition, cation exchange and combinations thereof. | 02-19-2009 |
