  • Patent number: 9115616
    Abstract: A method of heating an exhaust gas in an exhaust aftertreatment system including a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) and a diesel particulate filter (DPF) is provided. The method includes heating the exhaust gas to a predetermined temperature to increase NO2 generation in the DOC when the DPF is not actively regenerated, and heating the exhaust gas to reduce an exhaust temperature gradient when the DPF is actively regenerated. The exhaust temperature gradient is reduced by providing more heat proximate a wall of an exhaust conduit and less heat proximate a center of the exhaust conduit.

  • Patent number: 9106089
    Abstract: An amplifier applies a self-adapting voltage to an output terminal. A bias circuit provides a greater bias current in a first external connection condition, in the absence of a pull-up resistance connected to the output terminal, than when such a pull-up resistance is present. The amplifier applies a different voltage to the output terminal in the absence of a pull-up resistance than when such a pull-up resistance is present. The circuit can be used in a portable device for receiving charging current from a battery charger through a connector having a D+ pin for connection to the battery charger and connected to the amplifier output terminal for battery charger detection. The portable device can meet the USB battery charger specification rev. 1.2.

  • Publication number: 20150107231
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method for controlling a system for regenerating a diesel particulate filter. The method includes monitoring an engine run time that has lapsed since a previous regeneration event. The method also includes monitoring backpressure behind the diesel particulate filter. The method further includes triggering a regeneration flag if the engine run time that lapsed since the previous regeneration event reaches a predetermined time limit and the backpressure exceeds a minimum value.

  • Patent number: 8975926
    Abstract: A comparator used in a clock signal generation circuit compares two input signals and generates an output signal. The comparator has first and second input transistors coupled to the input signals. First and second hysteresis transistors are coupled between the input transistors and an output stage of the comparator, and apply hysteresis to a comparison of the input signals. First and second hysteresis control transistors are coupled between the input transistors and the hysteresis transistors to isolate the hysteresis transistors from the input transistors under control of a hysteresis enable signal. The comparator is operable in a first mode or a second mode based on a hysteresis enable signal. In the first mode the comparator applies hysteresis to the comparison of the input signals and in the second mode, compares the input signals without hysteresis.
