20110226222 | HEAT EXCHANGER AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - An exhaust gas recirculation cooler includes an inlet configured to receive exhaust gas from an engine, an outlet configured to direct the exhaust gas back toward the engine, and an exhaust gas flow conduit. The flow conduit includes a first end adjacent the inlet, a second end adjacent the outlet, a first narrow side, a second narrow side, substantially flat broad sides extending between the narrow sides, a first channel adjacent the first narrow side and extending between the ends, a second channel adjacent the second narrow side and extending between the ends, and a plurality of third channels located between the first and second channels and extending between the ends. A plate is located at one end of the flow conduit to inhibit the exhaust gas from flowing through at least one of the first channel and the second channel while allowing exhaust gas flow through the third channels. | 09-22-2011 |
20120043063 | EXHAUST GAS HEAT EXCHANGER AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME - An exhaust gas heat exchanger that includes a stack at least partially surrounded by a housing. The stack includes a first tube, a second tube, and a coolant duct between the first tube and the second tube. A fin is located within the coolant duct. The fin includes a first portion and a second portion and the first tube includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion of the fin is fixed to the first portion of the first tube such that the first portion of the fin is coupled to the first portion of the first tube for movement with respect to the housing, and the second portion of the fin is supported in the housing for movement relative to the second portion of the first tube to permit movement of the second portion of the first tube with respect to the second portion of the fin. | 02-23-2012 |
20140109884 | AUTOMOTIVE ENGINE COOLANT AND HEATING SYSTEM - Engine coolant heating systems and methods that improve waste heat recovery. The systems and methods include a piped connection between the outlet of an exhaust gas recirculation cooler and the main exhaust pipe leading to the vehicle's tailpipe. The systems and methods also include at least one additional valve in the exhaust stream for directing the flow of exhaust appropriately given specific driving conditions. | 04-24-2014 |

20080206114 | Multilayer Mounting Mats and Pollution Control Devices Containing Same - A multilayer mat for mounting a pollution control element in a pollution control device is provided. The mat comprises at least one first layer having at least one lateral edge requiring protection from exposure to (i) mechanical erosion forces generated by the impact of exhaust gases passing through a pollution control device, (ii) high temperatures associated with the exhaust gases, or both (i) and (ii). The mat also comprises at least one second layer having at least one lateral edge that is capable of protecting the at least one lateral edge of the first layer. The width of the first layer is less than the width of the second layer. The first and second layers are stacked one on top of the other such that the at least one lateral edge of the first layer is positioned between the opposite lateral edges of the second layer. The first layer has an exposed major surface. | 08-28-2008 |

20080308882 | APPLICATION OF GATE EDGE LINER TO MAINTAIN GATE LENGTH CD IN A REPLACEMENT GATE TRANSISTOR FLOW - A method to maintain a well-defined gate stack profile, deposit or grow a uniform gate dielectric, and maintain gate length CD control by means of an inert insulating liner deposited after dummy gate etch and before the spacer process. The liner material is selective to wet chemicals used to remove the dummy gate oxide thereby preventing undercut in the spacer region. The method is aimed at making the metal gate electrode technology a feasible technology with maximum compatibility with the existing fabrication environment for multiple generations of CMOS transistors, including those belonging to the 65 nm, 45 nm and 25 nm technology nodes, that are being used in analog, digital or mixed signal integrated circuit for various applications such as communication, entertainment, education and security products. | 12-18-2008 |

20100148277 | ISOLATED METAL PLUG PROCESS FOR USE IN FABRICATING CARBON NANOTUBE MEMORY CELLS - The present invention is directed to structures and methods of fabricating electromechanical memory cells having nanotube crossbar elements. Such memory cells include a substrate having transistor with a contact that electrically contacts with the transistor. A first support layer is formed over the substrate with an opening that defines a lower chamber above the electrical contact. A nanotube crossbar element is arranged to span the lower chamber. A second support layer is formed with an opening that defines a top chamber above the lower chamber, the top chamber including an extension region that extends beyond an edge of the lower chamber to expose a portion of the top surface of the first support layer. A roof layer covers the top of the top chamber and includes an aperture that exposes a portion of the extension region of the top chamber and includes a plug that extends into the aperture in the roof layer to seal the top and bottom chambers. The memory cell further includes an electrode that overlies the crossbar element such that electrical signals can activate the electrode to attract or repel the crossbar element to set a memory state for the transistor. | 06-17-2010 |
