  • Patent number: 10422278
    Abstract: A cleaning device for a pressure sensor associated with an engine system includes a one-way valve having an inlet side and an outlet side. The outlet side is in selective fluid communication with an inlet of the pressure sensor. The cleaning device also includes a compressed air source in selective fluid communication with the one-way valve. The cleaning device further includes a control module communicably coupled to each of the pressure sensor, the one-way valve, and the compressed air source. The control module is configured to control an operation of the one-way valve and the compressed air source to impart at least one of a long burst of modulated air and a short burst of modulated air on the inlet of the pressure sensor.

  • Publication number: 20180313302
    Abstract: A control system for an exhaust gas recirculation system for an engine is provided. The control system includes an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler having a coolant flowing therethrough. The control system includes an externally controlled coolant set-point circuit associated with the EGR cooler. The control system also includes a controller communicably coupled to the externally controlled coolant set-point circuit. The controller is configured to receive a first signal indicative of a readiness of the engine to load. The controller is configured to receive a second signal indicative of a temperature of the coolant. The controller is configured to receive a third signal indicative of a first temperature zone associated with the engine. Further, the controller is configured to modulate a set-point temperature of the coolant over a range of temperatures based on the received signals and a temperature gradient of the coolant.

  • Publication number: 20100170167
    Abstract: A flood resistant structure includes a building structure container and a building structure positioned proximate to the building structure container. The building structure is moveable relative to the building structure container in response to water flow through the building structure container. The building structure moves upwardly in response to water entering the building structure container. The building structure moves downwardly in response to water leaving the building structure container.

  • Publication number: 20100170168
    Abstract: A flood and wind resistant structure includes a building cover which includes a guide beam, and a building structure which includes a buoyant material structure positioned proximate to a floor of the building structure. The building structure is within an inner volume of the building cover. The building structure moves between raised and lowered positioned in response to being engaged by water. The building cover is shaped to deflect incident wind upwardly.

  • Publication number: 20090013619
    Abstract: An earthquake resistant structure includes a structure base assembly and a building structure positioned on the structure base assembly. The earthquake resistant structure includes a base isolation assembly which carries the building structure and structure base assembly, wherein the base isolation assembly includes a movement member and horizontal dampening member which allow the building structure and structure base assembly to move in response to an applied force, such as from an earthquake.
