Abstract: A piston system for a compression engine that detonates fuel during an appropriate part of the cycle includes a piston and a connecting rod that connects the piston to a crankshaft via a cam on crankshaft. The cam on the crankshaft provides an offset such that the orbit of the cam during each stroke cycle is different than the orbit of the crankshaft. The connecting rod is connected to the cam such that the orbit of the cam is larger than the orbit of the cam. In this way, for each stroke cycle, the crankshaft is always past the top of its orbit when the piston is at top dead center.

Abstract: An engine includes pistons, cylinders, combustion chambers, and intake lines. The engine also includes at least one port fuel injector, a flow guide plate, spark plugs, prechambers housing the spark plugs, and exhaust lines. The pistons are actuated by combustion reactions. The cylinders house the pistons. The combustion chambers form containment boundaries for the combustion reactions. The intake lines form an intake manifold and provide an air fuel mixture to the combustion chambers. The flow guide plate directs the air-fuel mixture to a specified location with the corresponding combustion chamber. The spark plugs ignite the air-fuel mixture to initiate the combustion reactions. Each prechamber houses a corresponding spark plug and concentrates the air-fuel mixture in close proximity to the corresponding spark plug. The exhaust lines form an exhaust manifold that provides a path for exhaust gas formed by the combustion reaction to exit the combustion chambers.

Abstract: A vehicle may collect turning tendency information, including road information and driving information. The vehicle may transmit this information to a server. The server trains steering angle training data by using the turning tendency information and transmits the trained steering angle training data to the vehicle. Then, an amount of steering angle assistance may be output from the vehicle to a driver based on the received trained steering angle training data and the actual steering angle of a driver. This enables to provide information on the amount of steering angle assistance to assist in restricted situations, such as the deactivation of lane following assist (LFA), and to ensure driving safety and dynamic turning assistance by reflecting the individual turning tendencies for each driver on different roads as much as possible.

Abstract: A fence post insert for adjusting a gate. The fence post insert allows for increasing or decreasing tension on a tensioning device within the gate post to adjust the tension on the gate post. This tension allows the gate post to move away from or toward the gate causing the gate to pull away from or move toward the opposing post or opposing gate section. The gate post insert allows for the adjustment of a gate by correcting a gate that is either too close or too far from the opposing side of the gate, typically either another post or a second gate, such as in double gate.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting the operation of an engine-independent auxiliary heater in a cooling system with multiple coolant circuits in a vehicle system with an auxiliary heater. On or after activating the vehicle system for a cold start, a shut-off valve is opened between a first coolant circuit with the auxiliary heater and a second coolant circuit with the coolant temperature sensor. A coolant pump is activated so that coolant from the first coolant circuit flushes around the coolant temperature sensor. A time course of a temperature reading from the coolant temperature sensor is performed for a predetermined period of time from the time the vehicle system is activated. A gradient of the temperature reading curve is determined. The gradient of the temperature reading curve is evaluated using a threshold value comparison to determine whether the auxiliary heater was activated before the cold start.
