20110258058 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING A RESTAURANT ORDER ON A WIRELESS MOBILE PERSONAL COMPUTER - A wireless mobile personal computer is provided for enabling a customer to generate a restaurant order on the wireless mobile personal computer. The wireless mobile personal computer includes a restaurant order generating application configured to generate restaurant item selecting interface screens for generating the restaurant order comprising at least one restaurant item, to generate a machine-readable representation of the generated restaurant order, a processor for executing the restaurant order generating application, a memory for storing the restaurant order generating application and selectable restaurant items, and a display for displaying the restaurant item selecting interface screens, and the at least one restaurant item. | 10-20-2011 |
20140136348 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RECEIVING AND MANAGING REMOTELY PLACED ORDERS - A system for enabling the remote ordering of products, primarily for use in a multi-vendor system, is disclosed. Orders are placed remotely, such as through wireless devices connected to a central server. The central server, in turn, is in communication (wireless or otherwise) with a server located at one or more venues within the organization operating the system. The one or more venues provide produces or services available for ordering through the system. Where multiple venues are involved, the system is designed to handle differences in the product or service availability at those different venues, and provides for an ability to make corrections to orders that may be or may become necessary on account of those differences. The system provides for multiple options through which users can pay for and receive orders, and also provides methods for synchronizing the remote ordering system with pre-existing, conventional methods of ordering and product/service order fulfillment. | 05-15-2014 |

20080236118 | Exhaust particulate filter for a machine engine system and assembly method therefor - An exhaust particulate filter for an engine system includes a housing having an inlet, an outlet and a shell shaped to fit the particulate filter within a predefined spatial envelope. Filter elements arranged in a bundle and having a packing arrangement are positioned within the housing. Each of the filter elements includes a perforated tube wrapped with fibrous metallic filter media. The bundle defines a perimetric line at least partially matched to the shape of the shell. An assembly method for a particulate filter includes arranging filter elements in a packing structure within a bundle, the bundle having peripherally located filter elements and internally located filter elements. The filter elements each include a perforated tube wrapped with fibrous metallic filter media. The assembly method further includes positioning the bundle of filter elements within a housing having a shape at least partially matched to a shape of the bundle. A unique method of joining various of the components via swagging is also disclosed. Clamping of the filter media, and joints between filter element and support plates, may be achieved via swagging, for example. | 10-02-2008 |
20080236119 | Exhaust gas particulate filter for a machine and filter cartridge therefor - An exhaust particulate filter for an engine system includes a housing having an inlet, an outlet and a shell shaped to fit the particulate filter within a predefined spatial envelope. Filter elements are arranged in a composite filter assembly and are packed within a housing. Each of the filter elements includes a cartridge having a frame wrapped with fibrous metallic filter media. The composite filter assembly has a shape corresponding to the shape of the shell. Each cartridge of the composite filter assembly is reversibly coupled with a frame internal of the shell via trapping elements having a release state and a trapping state. | 10-02-2008 |
20090133382 | Electrically regenerated exhaust particulate filter for an engine system and operating strategy therefor - An exhaust particulate filter for an engine system includes an array of filter cartridges positioned within a shell, each of the cartridges having an electrically powered heating element coupled therewith. Exhaust gases are distributed among the cartridges according to a single distribution pattern, and the filter can be regenerated without diverting, dividing or bypassing exhaust gases from the filter. Other aspects include feedback control and feedforward control of regeneration based on sensing an electrical resistance property of each of the electrically powered heating elements. | 05-28-2009 |
20090188389 | Particulate filter for an exhaust aftertreatment system of a machine and filtering method thereof - A particulate filter includes a filter element comprising a non-perforated tube having an exhaust inlet at a first end and an exhaust outlet at a second end. A fibrous metallic filter medium is disposed within the filter element and is configured to trap particulate matter from an exhaust gas. A first metallic foam disk is attached at the second end of the filter element, and retains the fibrous metallic filter medium within the filter element. A second metallic foam disk may be attached at the first end of the filter element and may allow the particulate filter to be reversed with respect to an exhaust gas flow. | 07-30-2009 |
20090272263 | ELECTRICALLY REGENERATED EXHAUST PARTICULATE FILTER HAVING NON-AXIAL REGENERATION FLAME PROPAGATION - An exhaust particulate filter for an engine system includes an array of filter cartridges positioned within a shell, each of the cartridges having an electrically powered heating element coupled therewith. Exhaust gases may be distributed among the cartridges according to a single distribution pattern, and the filter can be regenerated without diverting, dividing or bypassing exhaust gases from the filter. The filter cartridges may be cylindrical or wedge-shaped, or of a variety of other configurations. Regeneration may take place according to a non-axial regeneration propagation profile. Other aspects include feedback control and feedforward control of regeneration based on sensing an electrical resistance property of each of the electrically powered heating elements. | 11-05-2009 |
20100025500 | Materials for fuel injector components - A fuel injector is disclosed. The fuel injector has an injector body and an injector needle located inside the injector body. At least one of the injector body and injector needle has a portion configured to be exposed to a combustion chamber, the portion including maraging or carburizing steel and having a nitrided outer layer. | 02-04-2010 |
