20090145398 | INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES WITH SURCHARGING AND SUPRAIGNITION SYSTEMS - An internal combustion engine includes first and second cylinder assemblies each to repeatedly carry out a combustion cycle including intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust processes. In a surcharging system of the invention, the first cylinder assembly is coupled to the second cylinder assembly in gaseous communication to apply a charge of exhaust gas produced from a first combustion cycle of the first cylinder assembly to a compression process of a second combustion cycle of the second cylinder assembly. In a supraignition system of the invention, the first cylinder assembly is coupled to the second cylinder assembly in gaseous communication to apply a charge of ignition gas produced from a first combustion cycle of the first cylinder assembly to a compression process of a second combustion cycle of the second cylinder assembly. Buffer vessels coupled in gaseous communication with corresponding cylinder assemblies are also used in surcharging and supraignition processes. | 06-11-2009 |
20100229806 | INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES WITH SURCHARGING AND SUPRAIGNITION SYSTEMS - An internal combustion engine includes first and second cylinder assemblies each to repeatedly carry out combustion cycle including intake, compression, combustion with expansion, and exhaust processes. In a surcharging system of the invention, the first cylinder assembly is coupled to the second cylinder assembly in gaseous communication to apply a charge of exhaust gas produced from a first combustion cycle of the first cylinder assembly to a compression process of a second combustion cycle of the second cylinder assembly. In a supraignition system of the invention, the first cylinder assembly is coupled to the second cylinder assembly in gaseous communication to apply a charge of ignition gas produced from a first combustion cycle of the first cylinder assembly to a compression process of a second combustion cycle of the second cylinder assembly. Buffer vessels coupled in gaseous communication with corresponding cylinder assemblies are also used in surcharging and supraignition processes. | 09-16-2010 |
20110024600 | Isolation platform - The present invention provides a platform for supporting various equipment and/or structures which assists in isolating such structure from vibrations external to the platform. Generally, the platform comprises upper and lower plates, having depressions comprising a combination of linear and radial surfaces, upon which the upper plate supports the above-mentioned structure, and the lower plate contacts a surface/area upon which the platform is to rest. Between the upper and lower plates, a plurality of rigid, spherical bearings are placed within the depressions. | 02-03-2011 |
20120023916 | Diesel CGR process and structure - Disclosed is a manifold coupled to at least one cylinder of a diesel engine through at least one valve to pass or block gas flow between said manifold and said cylinder, with a specific list of restrictions imposed on said flow. Also, a manifold coupled to at least a pair of the cylinders of a multi-cylinder diesel engine through at least one valve to pass or block gas flow between said manifold and said cylinder, with the same restrictions imposed on said flow. The so formed structure is suitable to CGR. | 02-02-2012 |
20120222369 | Isolation Platform - The present invention provides a platform for supporting various equipment and/or structure which assists in isolating such structure from vibrations (“noise”) external to the platform. Generally, the platform comprises upper and lower plates, having conical depressions, upon which the upper plate supports the above-mentioned structure, and the lower plate contacting surface/area upon which the supported structure otherwise would have rested. Between the upper and lower plates, a plurality of rigid, spherical bearings are placed within the conical depressions, thereby allowing the upper and lower plates to displace relative to one another. Additionally, the platform may be provided with retaining mechanisms for holding the structure to be supported, maintaining the plates together and providing additional damping effects. | 09-06-2012 |
20120266558 | Seismically Stable Flooring - Methods and systems for isolating objects from seismic vibration, isolation flooring systems, vibrational damping devices, and methods for their use are disclosed. The present invention has the advantage of having a minimum of moving parts, and being extraordinarily easy to install and inspect. In preferred embodiments, the invention is drawn to methods of isolating sensitive objects from the full extent of seismic vibrations. | 10-25-2012 |
20130037002 | In-cylinder emission cleaning by cams with auxiliary-lobes - Disclosed is an internal combustion engine gas cycle modification process, comprising venting, which allows for some automatic gas transfer from intake to exhaust or vice versa, through the cylinder, in the compression or expansion strokes, by a second or third opening of either the intake or the exhaust valves, which is done by using a second or third auxiliary lobe on the intake or the exhaust cams, which however are much smaller than the normal lobes. Seven gas cycle modifications are explained and compared, each of which reduces NOx by 300-9,000× and cleans emission in the cylinder. On the same fuel consumption, all these modified gas cycles preserve torque and power. One however, increases high engine speed power and torque by over 70%. That may be exchanged for fuel savings. Double and triple lobe cams made the same way and cost the same as single lobe cams. It substitutes after-treatments. | 02-14-2013 |

20130340902 | Shweel - Shock-absorbers used as wheel-spokes between wheel-hub and rigid rim, which may be lined with threaded rubber or having gripping features otherwise. It reduces rolling resistance, saving fuel. It improves drivability. The compliance of the shocks is commensurate with that of a comparable inflated tire, but optimized passively or actively circumferentially, vertically and laterally. Rubber-bushing or spoke-inclination enhances driving stability. Giant field assembled mining-truck-wheels may be produced and deployed and field-assembled quickly by common metalworking shops at fractional cost and weight. It is environmentally friendly, for hardly using or not using rubber. The gas or liquid of the shock spokes may be interconnected and cooled. Soft and hard driving may be controlled manually or by computer on the fly. It is suitable for applications ranging from bicycle wheels to aircraft landing gears. It is fireproof, bulletproof, airless and silent. It cannot bounce or skid at jumpstart or braking and on ice. | 12-26-2013 |
