A supplemental liquid fuel stream is then selectively introduced into and is vaporized by the syngas stream to form a combined fuel stream. Combustion of the combined fuel stream with the engine exhaust in the presence of the catalyst further heats the device bringing it to a temperature suitable for regeneration. The catalyst can be upstream of or within the device being regenerated. | 07-21-2011 |

At a target or base level, hardware (Design for Test or DFx) are designed into and integrated with silicon parts. A controller may provide abstracted access to such hooks, such as through an abstraction layer that abstracts low level details of the hardware DFx. In addition, the abstraction layer through an interface, such as APIs, provides services, routines, and data structures to higher-level software/presentation layers, which are able to collect test data for validation and debug of a unit/platform under test. Moreover, the architecture potentially provides tiered (multiple levels of) secure access to the test architecture. Additionally, physical access to the test architecture for a platform may be simplified through use of a unified, bi-directional test access port, while also potentially allowing remote access to perform remote test and de-bug of a part/platform under test. In essence, a complete test architecture stack is described herein for test, validation, and debug of electronic parts, devices, and platforms. | 05-07-2015 |

20160060912 | Vehicle Lock And Personal Protection Baton - A vehicle lock and personal protection baton uses a telescoping construction to combine an elongated base and an elongated extension. The elongated extension slides within the elongated base in order to switch between configurations, specifically for use as a lock or for use as a protection baton. A locking mechanism couples the elongated extension with the elongated base, and a user can easily twist the locking mechanism to allow or prevent sliding of the elongated extension with respect to the elongated base. The elongated extension includes an end segment with one or more intermediate segments to allow for greater length. The end segment is slidably engaged with the intermediate segment, allowing the end segment to telescope with the intermediate segment. A first brace and second brace are connected to opposite ends of the telescoping body and inserted between a door frame and handle to lock a vehicle from the interior. | 03-03-2016 |
