  • Patent number: 6786210
    Abstract: The working fluid circuit of the present invention includes an exhaust gas passage through which exhaust gas under pressure flows from the internal combustion engine, a charge air passage, and a turbocharger. An exhaust gas recirculation passage extends between the exhaust gas passage and the charge air passage, but bypasses the turbocharger and provides a path for recirculating a predetermined amount of exhaust gas into the charge air passage in such a way that the exhaust gas and the charge air are mixed together. An intake passage provides intake air to the internal combustion engine. A single charge air cooler is operatively interconnected to and provides fluid communication between the charge air passage and the intake passage and acts to cool the mixed charge air and the recirculated exhaust gas prior to induction into the internal combustion engine through the intake passage.

  • Patent number: 5564345
    Abstract: A table that is useful alone and in combination with a tray and/or other inserts supported atop the table. The table is of a unitary molded plastic construction and is configured for nested stacking with like tables for convenient and compact storage and handling. The table has a top surface of regular polygonal shape with four truncated corners, and a plurality of legs depending from the table top at respective ones of the truncated corners. The legs, going from top to bottom, diverge outwardly with each being in the form of a channel that opens inwardly for nested receipt of a corresponding leg of a subjacent table of like construction. The table top has an upstanding marginal rim extending along the peripheral edge of the top surface thereof, and the marginal rim functions to prevent objects from rolling or sliding off the top surface and/or as containment structure for an insert such as a decorative panel and/or a removable tray that may have a design printed thereon.
