20140054394 | REDUCTANT DELIVERY UNIT FOR AUTOMOTIVE SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION SYSTEMS - ACTIVE COOLING - A reductant delivery unit (RDU) delivers supplied reductant (aqueous urea solution) to the engine exhaust system. The delivered reductant is transformed into ammonia which then reacts with the exhaust oxides of nitrogen in a catalytic environment to produce nitrogen and H20. The reductant must be metered to coincide with the amount of NOx present in the exhaust, and also present sufficient spray quality of the delivered fluid to promote good mixing of the ammonia with the exhaust gas. The RDU is a liquid-cooled, making the RDU suitable for very high temperature environment applications. | 02-27-2014 |

20140182272 | USING RESISTANCE EQUIVALENT TO ESTIMATE HEATER TEMPERATURE OF AN EXHAUST GAS AFTER-TREATMENT COMPONENT - A temperature of a heated component is determined for control and monitoring. The heater driver, upon receipt of a turn-on signal, generates a current within a component of an electronic catalyst or exhaust after-treatment component, wherein the current through the component generates an appropriate loss to generate heat for facilitation of an exhaust after-treatment process. The heater driver regulates the energy to the heated component based on the electrical resistance of that component as a function of temperature and a predetermined reference value for that temperature. | 07-03-2014 |

20090252587 | Pallet Loader and Manipulator - A pallet load stand and manipulator allows a pallet to receive a workpiece and the workpiece to be clamped to the pallet while the pallet is in a horizontal position. Once the workpiece has been clamped to the pallet, the pallet may be rotated to a vertical position so that the pallet may be loaded onto a machine tool that operates on a workpiece with the pallet in the vertical position. The pallet may also be rotated to an intermediate position, similar to an artist's easel, in which the pallet is held in an inclined position, between the horizontal and vertical positions by positive locating assemblies and positive stops. | 10-08-2009 |
20100051415 | Barrel Drive Mechanism for Pallets - A rotary drive mechanism is used to insert a pallet into the workzone of a machine tool past the plane the guard doors. Cam barrels are mounted one each on the opposite ends of a pair of opposed drive shafts that are driven by a pair of drive hubs. The cam barrels engage cam followers mounted on the underside of the pallet to drive the pallet into the workzone of the machine tool. The connection between the drive shafts and the drive hubs is separable, allowing the drive shafts to be uncoupled from the drive hubs when desired. The drive hubs are mounted on a hub carrier that is rotatable about a vertical axis to uncouple the drive hubs from the drive shafts and swing the drive hubs out of the plane of the guard doors, allowing the doors to close. | 03-04-2010 |
