Patents by Inventor Oliver A. Warner

Oliver A. Warner has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7461504
    Abstract: Method, system, and controller for controlling exhaust gas temperatures by adjusting exhaust valve timing and/or fueling for one or more cylinders wherein normal operating cylinders receive additional fuel to compensate for the adjusted cylinders, thereby increasing exhaust gas temperatures. The method, system, and controller may be applicable in systems having an engine which emits exhaust gases having particulates which are captured by the particulate filter.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 21, 2004
    Date of Patent: December 9, 2008
    Assignee: Detroit Diesel Corporation
    Inventors: Oliver A. Warner, Admir Kreso, Michael A. Balnaves
  • Patent number: 7434388
    Abstract: Method, system, and controller for regeneration a particulate filter as a function of fuels emitted with exhaust gases from an engine to an oxidation catalyst. The method, system, and controller being applicable in systems having an engine which emits exhaust gases having particulates that are captured by the particulate filter.

  • Patent number: 6883318
    Abstract: A method of controlling an internal combustion engine when the engine is operating in an engine braking mode is provided. The engine operates in the engine braking mode and an exhaust valve for the cylinder is prematurely opened to dissipate power. The method includes controlling airflow to at least one cylinder based on a comparison of a desired mass airflow rate and an actual mass airflow rate such that the actual mass airflow rate tracks the desired mass airflow rate.

  • Patent number: 6536408
    Abstract: An engine brake control system that is integrated with service brakes for a diesel engine powered vehicle. Three manually selectable modes of operation include an operation with the engine brake control system disabled, an operation with engine braking activated by a zero throttle application and engine braking power level determined by manually actuated dashboard switches or the like, and an operation with engine braking activated by a brake pedal and engine brake power level being proportional to brake pedal displacement and limited by the manually actuated dash-mounted switches or the like.
