  • Patent number: 11383203
    Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to features for an integrated aftertreatment system. In one implementation, an integrated aftertreatment system comprises a casing that includes a mating flange having a first constant diameter and a catalyst component configured to mate to the mating flange of the casing. The catalyst component includes a canned body including a first portion sized to a second constant diameter to mate with the first constant diameter of the mating flange. In another implementation, an integrated aftertreatment system comprises a casing, a catalyst component positioned within the casing, a particulate filter having an outer casing with an outlet, and a particulate filter joint coupled to the outer casing of the particulate filter at the outlet.

  • Patent number: 10648393
    Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to features for a single module aftertreatment system. The single aftertreatment system includes a casing, a catalyst within the casing, and an outer body attached to a portion of the casing with a flat mounting zone on the outer body. The outer body includes a mounting bracket welded to the flat mounting zone. The flat mounting zone is separated from the casing so as to form an air gap between the flat mounting zone of the outer body and the casing. The outer body includes a beaded portion adjacent the flat mounting zone. The outer body includes an inner diameter portion, and the outer body is attached to a portion of the casing by a weld joint between the inner diameter portion and the portion of the casing.

  • Publication number: 20190165108
    Abstract: A reconstituted wafer includes a plurality of apertures defined in a first substrate. A module is positioned in each aperture and coupled to circuit traces on the first substrate by operation of beam leads extending from the module. A second substrate is positioned over the first substrate and each module is hermetically sealed in a space defined by the respective aperture and the second substrate. One or more vias are provided to access I/O signals at a surface of the first or second substrates. The modules may include an invariant die where different technologies are stacked together.

  • Patent number: 9885442
    Abstract: An exhaust aftertreatment assembly for treating exhaust gas. According to various embodiments, a first housing has a first end and a second housing has a second end, the second end being coupled to the first end. At least one alignment bracket is coupled to the first housing proximate the first end. An annular gasket is supported on the at least one alignment bracket between the first and second ends. The at least one alignment bracket may comprise a base having a curved surface conforming to the interior surface of the housing, the base having a length that is less than a circumference of the interior surface. A stop arm extends substantially transversely from the base. A support arm extends substantially transversely from the stop arm and substantially parallel to the base. An insulation receiving space is defined between the base, stop arm, and support arm.

  • Patent number: 9593618
    Abstract: An exhaust aftertreatment system includes an exhaust aftertreatment component housing and a sensor table coupled to an exterior surface of the exhaust aftertreatment component housing. The sensor table includes a base including footings and a first platform offset from the footings by first standoffs so to define a first air gap. The base also includes second standoffs extending from the first platform. The sensor table also includes a top plate including a second platform and third standoffs extending from the second platform. The second platform is fixedly coupled to the second standoffs so to define a second air gap between the first platform and the second platform. The sensor table further includes a first sensor module coupled to the third standoffs so to define a third air gap between the second platform and the first sensor module.

  • Patent number: 9226385
    Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) device includes a transmission line arranged on a substrate, the transmission line operative to propagate an RF signal having a wavelength (?), and a first isolation portion arranged on the substrate proximate to the transmission line, the first isolation portion including an arrangement of stubs, where each stub of the arrangement of stubs has a length (y) where y=¼?, the first isolation portion operative to substantially prevent electromagnetic interference caused by the propagation of the RF signal in the transmission line from passing through the first isolation portion.
