  • Patent number: 11909178
    Abstract: A prechamber spark plug having a thermally enhanced prechamber cap with a thermally conductive core, such as one made from a copper-, aluminum- and/or silver-based material. Due to its location and function, a prechamber cap is exposed to thermal energy from a pre-combustion process taking place within a prechamber, as well as thermal energy from a combustion process taking place in a main combustion chamber. Thus, the prechamber cap is being heated on both its interior and its exterior and, if not sufficiently cooled, can become so hot that it undesirably triggers preignition events in the engine. The thermally enhanced prechamber cap may include a main body with an interior surface and an exterior surface, a thermally conductive core with one or more thermal segments and insert segments, and one or more openings extending between a prechamber and a main combustion chamber, where each opening extends through an insert segment that is designed to resistant to corrosion and/or erosion.

  • Patent number: 11898959
    Abstract: Raman systems and methods use advantages offered by increased laser mobility/path length and photon migration to analyze diffusively scattering solids, including pharmaceuticals. A collimated laser excitation beam having a first diameter induces from a sample a backscattered collimated Raman collection beam with a second diameter. The collimated laser excitation beam and the collimated Raman collection beam form a counter-propagating collimated optical path, and the collimated laser excitation beam is preferably smaller in diameter than the diameter of the backscattered collimated Raman beam. The collection beam to a spectrograph for Raman analysis of the sample. A Raman calibration standard may be placed in the collimated optical path, and/or the sample may be supported in a reflective holder that may be at least partially spherical and/or may form part of a multi-well plate. The counter-propagating collimated optical path may be contained within a Raman microscope.
