  • Patent number: 8707687
    Abstract: A diesel exhaust treatment system for treating exhaust gas from a diesel engine comprises at least one diesel particulate filter, at least one diesel exhaust fluid mixing chamber and at least one selective catalytic reduction converter (SCR). In one desirable embodiment, plural diesel particulate filters are arranged in parallel and plural SCRs are arranged in parallel. These components including the diesel exhaust fluid mixing chamber can be included in a common housing with the exhaust flow reversing directions a plurality of times as it passes through the treatment system from an exhaust inlet to an exhaust outlet. The housing can be coupled to one vehicle frame rail with most of the housing and components contained therein positioned outside the outer surface of the one frame rail.

  • Patent number: 7479897
    Abstract: In a method for preventing rollover for a vehicle traveling on a road, for each present position of the vehicle as it moves forward, its speed is forecasted for future positions of the vehicle on the road, based on an assumption regarding driving style of the operator, and based on a map containing road geometry data and statistical speed data for vehicles traveling said road. At each such present position of the vehicle, a maximum safe speed is determined for points on the road forward of the vehicle, based on a maximum lateral acceleration, the road geometry and the vehicle parameters. A rollover warning is generated for any current position of the vehicle at which the forecasted future speed for at least one particular point on the road forward of the vehicle exceeds the determined maximum safe speed at particular point.
