  • Publication number: 20170212544
    Abstract: The invention relates to a power consumption reduction device in the form of an electronic device that operates as an interface between any power supply source and consumption demand. The system, with less amperage at the input, delivers the total power required according to demand, within its established capabilities. In its internal systems, three fundamental variants can be regulated, namely: line impedance, phase angle and reactive power flow. With regard to the input power supply, in the event of any variations in the fundamental frequencies, the system simulates these frequencies as if the variations were not being produced. In addition, the system optimizes consumption, supplying each device with the power required for optimal operation, while also absorbing voltage peaks, thereby also protecting the operating life of devices or household appliances.

  • Patent number: 9677445
    Abstract: Systems and methods to selectively control plurality of dosing modules may include receiving data indicative of an exhaust flow rate. An amount of reductant to be dosed may be determined based, at least in part, on the data indicative of the exhaust flow rate. A decomposition delay time may also be determined and a first dosing module and a second dosing module may be selectively activated. The first dosing module may be selectively activated at a first time and the second dosing module is selectively activated at a second time. The second time is based on the first time and the determined decomposition delay time.

  • Publication number: 20030029232
    Abstract: A coupon for measuring the corrosion rates of metals in a hostile environment, including two or more thin-film resistive conductors formed on a substrate and positioned in close physical proximity so that they are subjected to essentially the same physical environment. One or more of the thin-film resistive conductors is directly exposed to the potentially corrosive environment while at least one of the thin-film elements is protected from the corrosive nature of the environment. The element or elements that are protected from corrosion are either shielded from the corrosive effects of the environment by the presence of a thermally thin protective layer or by being isolated from the corrosive environment while being maintained at essentially the same temperature as the elements exposed to the corrosive environment. The invention is also directed to a system for measuring the corrosion rate by measuring the change in resistance of the exposed conductor in comparison to the protected chamber.
