Abstract: A method and system for controlling engine temperature by derating torque output of the engine. The method and system operate in cooperation with an electronic control module which is programmable for controlling temperature in the engine by derating maximum engine torque output based on an engine temperature rate of change. This permits the derating to be finely tuned to maximize available torque.

Abstract: A control for an internal combustion engine that includes an exhaust gas recirculation system predicts at least one of the intake manifold temperature in EGR mode or an intake manifold pressure in EGR mode, but preferably both, during Boost mode operation. The predictions are relied upon to calculate an intake manifold critical temperate in EGR, at which condensation would occur. The control then compares the predicted temperate value with the calculated intake manifold critical temperature, and if the predicted value exceeds the calculated temperature, the control commands re-entry into exhaust gas recirculation mode.

Abstract: An exerciser includes a base, a post extending upright from the base, a lever pivoted to and extending transversely from the post, a resistance providing member interconnecting the base and the lever, an upper pulley mounted rotatably on a free end of the lever, a lower pulley mounted rotatably on the base, and a string fixed to the base, extending upwardly from the base and over the upper pulley, and downwardly from the upper pulley and over the lower pulley so as to permit rotation of the lever when the string is pulled away from the lower pulley.
