20080314363 | Actuated cool combustion emissions solution for auto-igniting internal combustion engine - Lower temperature combustion, which may lead to lower emissions, is accomplished by displacing air adjacent to a fuel injector nozzle. Initially, air is compressed in an engine cylinder by moving the engine piston toward top dead center. Air is displaced through a flow passage within the engine cylinder when the engine piston is in the vicinity of top dead center by moving an air displacement actuator. The air displacement actuator includes a member positioned in the combustion chamber that moves with respect to the engine housing and the piston when actuated. This movement causes air to flow through a flow passage, and fuel is injected into the turbulent compressed air flowing through the flow passage. The mixture of air and fuel are compression ignited in the engine cylinder after a brief ignition delay. Lower emissions may be achieved by bringing the air to the fuel prior to ignition, rather than attempting to bring the fuel to the air as in a typical compression ignition engine. | 12-25-2008 |

20150204222 | NON-THERMAL PARTICULATE FILTER REGENERATION - A particular trap is regenerated without the use of heat. The regeneration is accomplished using a valving mechanism for periodically creating a reverse pressure throughout the entire trap, after the reverse pressure is created controls are operative to start a regeneration cycle by creating a substantially instantaneous reverse pressure drop across the porous walls of the entire trap to dislodge accumulated particulate cake and by causing the filtered exhaust gas to flow back through the porous walls to remove the dislodged particulate from the trap. A settling tank is connected to the exhaust pipe upstream of the trap to receive and store the dislodged particulate. The controls are operative to return the system to its filtering operation. Gaseous effluent from the tank is returned to the exhaust system upstream of the filter to provide a “closed system” in which only filter gas is discharged to atmosphere. | 07-23-2015 |

The held orders are subsequently returned to the order book at the same, or different, priority to await a subsequent incoming order. Where the incoming order is not fully satisfied, only self-matching counter orders are identified or the return of held orders would result in a crossed order book, a trader may include instructions with the incoming order directing the system to cancel the self-matching resting orders, cancel the incoming order, decrementing the quantity of the larger of the incoming and self-matching resting orders by the quantity of the smaller thereof, or take some other action. | 01-22-2015 |
