20090150044 | FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME FOR AN ENGINE - A fuel injector is coupled to an engine. The fuel injector includes an injection opening configured to vary in cross-section between a open state and a fully closed state. The fuel injector is configured to provide a plurality of discrete commanded fuel injections into an engine cylinder by modulating the size of the injection opening without completely closing the opening to the fully closed state. | 06-11-2009 |
20100065261 | SYSTEM WITH DIRECTIONAL PRESSURE VENTING - A system comprises a tank, a radiator connected to the tank, and a component situated within the tank and susceptible to creating increasing pressure within system when under a fault condition. The radiator is configured to directionally vent pressure under excessive pressure conditions. | 03-18-2010 |
20100065306 | RUPTURE RESISTANT SYSTEM - A rupture resistant system comprises a tank comprising a top member, a sidewall member, and a bottom member, and a component situated within the tank and susceptible to creating increasing pressure within the tank when under a fault condition. At least one of the top, sidewall, and bottom members is connected to another of the top, sidewall, and bottom members in a manner so as to cause an increase in inner volume of the tank under increased pressure conditions. | 03-18-2010 |
