Abstract: An alignment device for a ducted fuel injection system comprising a mounting block removably attachable to a duct of the ducted fuel injection system. The mounting block can include a passageway extending therethrough. The passageway can align with the duct when the mounting block is attached to the duct. The alignment device further comprises an imaging device configured to capture an image viewing through the duct toward an outlet of a fuel injector. A portion of the imaging device can extend in the passageway. The alignment device additionally comprises a centering structure configured to align a portion of the imaging device with a central axis of the duct. The image captured by the imaging device can be configured for use aligning a position of an outlet of a fuel injector with respect to a position of the duct.

Abstract: Various technologies presented herein relate to heating a fuel and enhancing fuel and charge-gas mixing inside a combustion chamber to enable minimal, or no, generation of soot and/or other undesired emissions during ignition and subsequent combustion of the locally premixed mixtures. To enable sufficient mixing of the fuel and charge-gas, a jet of fuel can be directed to pass through a bore of a duct causing charge-gas to be drawn into the bore creating turbulence to mix the fuel and the drawn charge-gas. The duct can be heated to provision heating of the fuel and charge-gas mixture. The duct can be located proximate to an opening in a tip of a fuel injector. An ignition assist component can be located downstream of the duct to facilitate ignition of the fuel/charge-gas mixture.

Abstract: Various technologies presented herein relate to enhancing mixing inside a combustion chamber to form one or more locally premixed mixtures comprising fuel and charge-gas to enable minimal, or no, generation of soot and/or other undesired emissions during ignition and subsequent combustion of the locally premixed mixtures. To enable sufficient mixing of the fuel and charge-gas, a jet of fuel can be directed to pass through a bore of a duct causing charge-gas to be drawn into the bore creating turbulence to mix the fuel and the drawn charge-gas. The duct can be located proximate to an opening in a tip of a fuel injector. The various technologies presented herein can be utilized in a number of combustion systems, such as compression-ignition (CI) reciprocating engines, spark-ignition (SI) reciprocating engines, gas-turbine (GT) engines, burners and boilers, wellhead/refinery flaring, etc.

Abstract: Various technologies presented herein relate to enhancing mixing inside a combustion chamber to form one or more locally premixed mixtures comprising fuel and charge-gas with low peak fuel to charge-gas ratios to enable minimal, or no, generation of soot and other undesired emissions during ignition and subsequent combustion of the locally premixed mixtures. To enable sufficient mixing of the fuel and charge-gas, a jet of fuel can be directed to pass through a bore of a duct causing charge-gas to be drawn into the bore creating turbulence to mix the fuel and the drawn charge-gas. The duct can be located proximate to an opening in a tip of a fuel injector. The duct can comprise of one or more holes along its length to enable charge-gas to be drawn into the bore, and further, the duct can cool the fuel and/or charge-gas prior to combustion.

Abstract: A corrugated box has two side panels joined by parallel end panels. An automatic bottom panel extends from a side panel, and has two converging reverse-scored fold lines which extend between a side panel and the outer edge of the automatic bottom panel. End flaps are folded up from the automatic bottom panel and are connected to the end panels to form box side walls. One of the end flaps has a diagonal fold line, with portions of the flap above the diagonal fold line only being adhered to the end panel. The angles of the reverse scored fold lines are selected depending on the dimensions of the box to allow the automatic bottom panel to be deployed from a folded position alongside the side and end panels to an assembled position perpendicular to the side and end panels, simply by displacing one side panel with respect to the other.

Abstract: A corrugated paperboard box has two opposed side panels, connected by two opposed end panels having oblong hand hold holes. The box has an automatic bottom for rapid assembly. Overlapping side top flaps extend from the side panels, and engage with one another to temporarily retain the side top flaps closed on the container. A closure flap extends from each side top flap to overlie portions of the other side top flap and the adjacent side panel. An oblong closure tab extends from a fold line from each closure flap and may be pressed through the hand hold hole to lock the side top flap in the closed condition. Each closure flap has two diagonal fold lines, and is larger than the hand hole into which it extends, such that, once fully inserted, the closure tabs are not readily extracted, thereby retaining the container in a securely closed condition without a requirement for tape, glue, or staples.

Abstract: A container blank has a bottom panel with outwardly extending inner and outer end panels which fold up to form double thickness end walls. Two opposed parallel side panels have glue tabs which are affixed to the outer end panels. Each glue tab has a 45-degree angle fold line which allows the side panels to be folded to overlie the bottom panel during shipping. In a covered box where the height of the box h measured vertically exceeds one quarter the length of the end panel and approaches one half the length of the end panels, there is not space available to receive the cover front flap tab within a pocket defined between the end wall and an adhesively attached glue tab, if the glue tabs in front and in back are of equal size. To accommodate the enlarged cover front flap tabs, the front glue tabs may extend a greater distance along the end panels than the rear glue tabs. The rear glue tabs are less than half the length of the outer end panels, and do not extend frontwardly beyond the glue tab fold line.

Abstract: A container is readily set up by hand from a glued-up blank. The blank has a bottom panel with outwardly extending inner and outer end panels which fold up to form double thickness end walls. Two opposed parallel side panels have glue tabs which are affixed to the outer end panels. Each glue tab has a 45-degree angle fold line which allows the side panels to be folded to overlie the bottom panel during shipping. By pivoting the outer end panels to be perpendicular to the bottom panel, the side panels are brought upright by the attached glue tabs, and the inner end panels are thus positioned to be engaged over the glue tabs. The glue tabs may extend to permit rectangular adhesive attachment regions. The structure may be incorporated within a double-walled shadow box, a tray or lid, a covered box, or other container structures.

Abstract: A quick-assembly corrugated box has an automatic bottom panel which extends from a side panel, and has two converging reverse-scored fold lines which extend outwardly from the side panel. End flaps are folded up from the automatic bottom panel and are adhesively connected to the end panels to form double ply side walls. One of the end flaps has a diagonal fold line, with portions of the flap above the diagonal fold line only being adhered to the end panel. The angles of the reverse scored fold lines are selected to allow the automatic bottom panel to be deployed from a folded position alongside the side and end panels to an assembled position perpendicular to the side and end panels, simply by displacing one side panel with respect to the other. Substantially increased stacking strength is provided by inserting right-angle corner pieces in reinforcement-receiving pockets defined between the edges of the end flaps and the end panels.
