  • Fuel injection devices
    Patent number: 10781779
    Abstract: An improved fuel injection device for internal combustion engines comprising a slidable (pilot) valve instead of a needle valve principle. The valve does not comprise a seat, so, even in the case of a spring-loaded embodiment of the valve there is no risk of hammering of the valve on a seat with the pertaining generation of noise. The improved fuel injector allows a larger nozzle diameter and, therefore, a larger number of nozzle holes, if required or deemed useful. For rotating embodiments of the fuel injector, the valve or at least its spring, in the case of a spring-loaded embodiment of the valve, can be located in the static section of the rotating fuel injector, thus eliminating the balancing problem of prior art rotating fuel injectors which comprise a spring in the rotating section.

  • RAPID ITEM DEVELOPMENT USING INTELLIGENT TEMPLATES TO EXPEDITE ITEM BANK EXPANSION
    Publication number: 20200293994
    Abstract: A system and method for rapidly developing items is presented. A root item is created or identified as a starting point for development of an item template. The item template is developed from the selected root item using a key calculation as well as calculations to generate distractors to ensure that an item discriminates well. The template identifies variables, provides the calculation and rationale for each answer option, and defines any variable constraints. Items are then cloned from the template. The cloned items may be identical in format to the root items. Finally, the statistical performance of the cloned item is verified by subjecting a few select cloned items to undergo an initial statistical analysis to validate the performance of a template and, once validated, multiple cloned items may be created and used in scored positions on future test administrations without needing to pretest.
