  • Linear actuator for a variable-geometry member of a turbocharger, and a turbocharger incorporating same
    Patent number: 8991173
    Abstract: A linear actuator for a variable-geometry member of a turbocharger includes a piston/rod assembly that can axially translate and also pivot to a limited extent. A permanent magnet is mounted in a fixed position within the actuator. A non-magnetized flux carrier is mounted in the piston/rod assembly, and its movement alters the magnetic field of the magnet. A Halls effects sensor detects the magnetic field and the signals produced by the sensor are used for determining axial position of the piston/rod assembly.

  • Multi-piece compressor housing
    Patent number: 7568338
    Abstract: An exemplary compressor housing includes an axis to coincide with a rotational axis of a compressor wheel housed by the compressor housing, an inlet insert that includes an inlet port and a compressor wheel shroud portion that extends away from the inlet port to a ridge and a base component that defines, at least in part, a diffuser section and a scroll wherein the diffuser section extends radially outward to the scroll, wherein the ridge of the inlet insert defines, at least in part, an inlet to the diffuser section and wherein a joint exists between the inlet insert and the base component along a radius in the diffuser section. Various other exemplary technologies are also disclosed.
