  • Fixture for measuring the drag of a piston ring in an engine cylinder and methods of use thereof
    Patent number: 8479570
    Abstract: A fixture for measuring the resistance of a piston ring in a cylinder, comprising an elongate member having a first end and a second end and a central axis extending therebetween, and an expandable platform attached to the second end of the stem, the platform having a top surface facing towards the first end, the top surface being perpendicular to the central axis, the top surface including first, second and third points movable radially outward from the central axis, and methods of use thereof.
    Type: Grant

  • System and method for use with a combustion engine
    Patent number: 8336508
    Abstract: A system for use with a combustion engine having an air intake, sensors and an engine control module, comprising a hydrogen cell capable of turning water into hydrogen and oxygen gases and a controller electrically connected to the sensors, the engine control module and the hydrogen cell, wherein the controller is programmed to ratiometrically skew one or more signal inputs to the engine control module to control the engine in response to predetermined signal levels, wherein the controller is programmed to activate the hydrogen cell in response to predetermined signal levels, wherein the hydrogen cell is fluidly connected to the engine through the air intake, and wherein the controller is programmed to cause the engine control module to reduce the rate of fuel flow to the engine and to activate the hydrogen cell simultaneously.
