Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110011261WET SCRUBBER FOR CARBON DIOXIDE COLLECTION - A scrubber unit for removal of carbon dioxide from flue gas, including a first chamber, a second chamber, a partition dividing the first chamber and the second chamber, a first weir to distribute flow across of aqueous absorbent across the chamber, and a second weir in the second chamber. The partition is positioned to allow fluid to flow from the first chamber to the second chamber beneath a lower edge of the partition. The scrubber may be used in an algae growing system, along with an algae bioreactor, with the aqueous absorbent solution flowing in a continuous circuit through the wet scrubber and the algae bioreactor to absorb carbon dioxide in the wet scrubber and to provide the absorbed carbon dioxide to algae.01-20-2011

20130055993CYLINDER LINER WITH A THERMAL BARRIER COATING - A cylinder liner includes a body formed of a metal material extending circumferentially around a center axis with an outer surface facing away from the center axis. A thermal barrier coating including an insulating material having a thermal conductivity of not greater than 5 W/(m·K) is applied to the outer surface. The thermal barrier coating is thermally applied to the outer surface at a velocity of 100 to 1,000 m/s, for example by a high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) spray, a plasma spray, or a detonation gun.03-07-2013
20130213217PISTON RING FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A piston ring assembly for sealing a cylinder wall to a piston body is provided. The piston ring assembly includes a plurality of rings stacked in an axial direction one in abutment with another. Each ring has an inner face and an outer face. The piston ring assembly also includes a spring which substantially circumferentially surrounds the stacked rings and abuts the outer faces of the rings. The spring biases the stacked rings in a radially inward direction for sealing the inner faces of the rings against the piston body. The spring may be of a strip of material bent into a serpentine pattern when in an at rest condition to apply the biasing force against the piston body.08-22-2013
20130213219PISTON RING FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A power cylinder assembly for an internal combustion engine is provided. The power cylinder assembly includes a cylinder wall having a channel formed therein and a piston body with a skirt. A piston ring is seated within the channel of the cylinder wall and is sealed against the skirt of the piston body. Specifically, the piston ring has a ring body with an inner face that presents two radially inwardly extending ridges spaced axially from one another by a valley region, and the outer face presents a groove which receives a spring to bias the ridges into sliding engagement with the outer surface of the skirt of the piston body. The ring body also has at least one oil drainage port which extends radially between the valley region of the inner surface and the groove of the outer face for conveying oil from between the ridges into the groove.08-22-2013
20130213220PISTON RING FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A piston ring for sealing a cylinder wall to a piston body is provided. The piston ring includes a ring body that extends about an axis and has inner and outer faces. The inner face presents a pair of ridges that extend in a radially inward direction, and the outer face presents a groove. A spring of an elastomeric material substantially circumferentially surrounds the ring body and is seated in the groove on the inner face. The spring biases the ring body in the radially inward direction to seal the ridges against the piston body. The ring body also has at least one oil drainage port which extends at an angle relative to the radially inward direction from the inner face to a location on the outer face on one axial side of the spring for conveying oil out of a space between the ridges.08-22-2013
20130213221PISTON RING FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A piston assembly including a piston body and a piston ring is provided. The piston body has a skirt, a portion of which extends circumferentially continuously and has a skirt diameter. The piston ring has a ring body which extends through at least one revolution in a generally helical shape when in a relaxed condition. The ring body also has an inner face, and when in the relaxed condition, the inner face presents a ring diameter which is less than the skirt diameter. The ring body circumferentially surrounds the skirt of the piston body, thereby causing the inner face to be biased into engagement with the outer surface of the circumferentially continuous portion of the skirt of the piston body to establish a dynamic seal between the ring body and the piston body.08-22-2013
20130213222PISTON RING FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A piston ring for sealing a cylinder wall to a piston body is provided. The piston ring includes a ring body of an elastically deformable material which extends substantially circumferentially around an axis and has an inner face that faces the axis. The inner face includes a plurality of axially spaced and radially inwardly extending contact features. The ring body configured to bias the contact features into engagement with the piston body to establish a seal therebetween. At least one of the contact features extends substantially continuously around a circumference for establishing a substantially continuous seal around the piston body, and at least one of the contact features is non-continuous and has at least one recessed area for allowing the passage of oil and gas therethrough.08-22-2013

20080214350PRESSURE ASSISTED PARK SERVO - A pressure assisted park servo assembly for an automatic transmission includes a servo or spool valve which receives pressurized hydraulic fluid from various sources including two solenoid valves and transmission ports. The servo valve controls two flows of pressurized hydraulic fluid to a servo assembly to place the transmission in or release it from park. The improved park servo assembly exhibits enhanced operating speed.09-04-2008
20110061487DUAL FORK SINGLE SHIFT RAIL ASSEMBLY - A multiple shift fork, single shift rail assembly reduces weight and complexity in manual and dual clutch transmissions. In a first embodiment, a stationary shift rail includes pluralities of detenting recesses and cooperating detent assemblies are mounted on the shift forks. Associated actuators translate the shift forks and synchronizer clutches. In a second embodiment, the detenting recesses reside on the outside surface of the shift forks and the detent assemblies are mounted in the transmission housing. In a third embodiment, one shift fork is slidably mounted on the shift rail and includes an external detent assembly. The shift rail itself translates and includes detenting recesses and a second shift fork connected thereto.03-17-2011

20150047515HEAT TRANSFER COOKING ACCESSORY - A cooking accessory includes a cooking receptacle. The cooking accessory is configured to be selectively coupled to a rim of a cooking appliance. The cooking receptacle defines a cooking cavity. The cooking cavity is configured to receive food. The cooking receptacle includes an opening and a conductive side surface that is configured to substantially abut an outer surface of the cooking appliance. The conductive side surface substantially enables thermal energy transfer from the cooking appliance to the cooking cavity. The food within the cooking cavity is configured to absorb a portion of the thermal energy. The cooking accessory may also include a lid selectively removable from the cooking receptacle. The lid substantially contains the thermal energy within the cooking receptacle when the lid is coupled to the cooking receptacle.02-19-2015
