Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes an engine block having a cylinder bore and a cylinder head having a flame deck surface disposed at one end of the cylinder bore. A piston connected to a rotatable crankshaft and configured to reciprocate within the cylinder bore has a piston crown portion facing the flame deck surface such that a combustion chamber is defined within the cylinder bore and between the piston crown and the flame deck surface. A fuel injector having a nozzle tip disposed in fluid communication with the combustion chamber has at least one nozzle opening configured to inject a fuel jet into the combustion chamber along a fuel jet centerline. At least one duct defined in the combustion chamber between the piston crown and the flame deck surface has a generally rectangular cross section and extends in a radial direction relative to the cylinder bore substantially along the fuel jet centerline.

Abstract: According to the invention, there is provided a novel soybean variety designated XB41B05. This invention thus relates to the seeds of soybean variety XB41B05, to the plants of soybean XB41B05 to plant parts of soybean variety XB41B05 and to methods for producing a soybean plant produced by crossing plants of the soybean variety XB41B05 with another soybean plant, using XB41B05 as either the male or the female parent.
