20120125295 | ENGINE CONTROLLER - An ECU detects a shaft torque in a specified torque detection range defined for each cylinder. The shaft torque is generated due to a combustion of the fuel and is applied to a crankshaft of the engine. The ECU computes a crank angle position as an actual peak position at which a combustion torque is peak. The ECU stores a previously determined maximum torque position which corresponds to a crank angle position at which a combustion torque becomes peak. Based on the actual peak position and the previously stored maximum torque position, an igniter controls an ignition timing. | 05-24-2012 |
20120290161 | AIR-CONDITIONING CONTROL DEVICE FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE - A detector detects a remaining power of a battery. A calculator calculates a demand load of air-conditioning based on at least one of a preset temperature set for air in a passenger compartment of an electric vehicle and an outside temperature of air outside of the electric vehicle. A switching portion switches a mode of air-conditioning between a battery mode and an engine mode based on the calculated demand load and the detected remaining power of the battery. The battery mode causes the battery to supply electric power for air-conditioning, and the engine mode causes an engine of the electric vehicle to supply combustion energy for air-conditioning. | 11-15-2012 |

20100024282 | NANO-DISPERSIONS OF COAL IN WATER AS THE BASIS OF FUEL RELATED TECHNOLOGIES AND METHODS OF MAKING SAME - Colloidal coal-in-water slurries having nano-particles of coal creating a pseudo-fluid. The colloidal coal-in-water slurry generally includes from about fifty to about seventy two weight percent of coal, with about 20 to about 80 percent of the coal having a particle size of about one micron or less with a mode particle size of about 250 nanometers. The coal-in-water slurry can also include a surfactant system containing one surfactant or mixtures of two or more surfactants, or mixtures of one or more surfactants and an inorganic or organic salt. The coal-in-water slurry can be used in low NOx burner applications as the main fuel and/or the reburn fuel, in gasification processes as the input fuel either alone, or in combination with organic materials, in gas turbine applications, and in diesel engine applications. | 02-04-2010 |
