Patent application number | Description | Published |
20100199958 | Engine Air Management System - An engine air management system is provided for an internal combustion engine generating blowby gas in a crankcase containing engine oil and oil aerosol. The system includes combinations of two or more of an air-oil separator, an air filter, and an acoustic silencer. | 08-12-2010 |
20110220560 | APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING THE PRESENCE OF GENUINE SERVICEABLE PRODUCT COMPONENTS - A process, system, and component configuration are described that discourages customer acceptance/use of will-fit, reconditioned, and counterfeit product components, by determining whether or not a serviceable product component is genuine. If a component is determined to not be genuine, then appropriate action may be taken to warn operators and document such findings. For example, one or more markers are disposed or otherwise put on the subject serviceable product component and serves as a targeted feature, and/or a particular characteristic of the filter itself is identified as the targeted feature. A sensor is used to detect the targeted feature and obtain information unique to the serviceable product component. The targeted feature(s) identifies the particular serviceable component as genuine and forms the basis for determining whether a genuine component has been installed. In some circumstances, a fluid filter product is the component that is the subject detection. | 09-15-2011 |
20110308494 | Integrated Idealized Inlet for Engine Air Induction System - An integrated air flow component is provided for an internal combustion engine air induction system having an air inlet duct. The integrated air flow component includes an air flow separator in the duct including air flow guidance surfaces downstream of the air cleaner. An engine air duct is also provided. | 12-22-2011 |
20120186566 | Engine Air Management System - An engine air management system is provided for an internal combustion engine generating blowby gas in a crankcase containing engine oil and oil aerosol. The system includes combinations of two or more of an air-oil separator, an air filter, and an acoustic silencer. | 07-26-2012 |
20130104860 | Engine Air Management System | 05-02-2013 |
20130220900 | FILTER COMMUNICATION AND IDENTIFICATION NETWORK - A filter, and a system, such as an engine, that uses the filter are described. A wireless tag, such as an IEEE 1902.1 wireless tag, that communicates using long wave magnetic waves is mounted on the filter head or on the filter. The wireless tag is used to communicate data such as filter identifier and status to a data acquisition system. Further, the data acquisition system can interface to an engine control module or other controller to allow specific control action or diagnostics/fault reporting. | 08-29-2013 |
