Abstract: A system includes a divided volute turbocharger that delivers compressed air to an internal combustion engine and receives exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine. The turbocharger includes a turbine housing, a first and second volute, and a turbine housing outlet. The system also includes turbine wheel disposed in the turbine housing and a vane ring disposed in the turbine housing between the turbine wheel and the volutes. The vane ring includes a plurality of vanes having an asymmetric vane pattern disposed on a vane ring surface of an annular disk that receives the turbine wheel therewithin to direct and control the flow of exhaust from the volutes into the turbine wheel with generally equal flow while significantly reducing HCF forcing function.

Abstract: Systems and methods for pressure measurement are provided. A ludion with a trapped gas bubble floats between two liquids. Pressure acting upon the liquids causes the bubble to expand or contract, resulting in movement of the ludion which can be measured and correlated with pressure change. Pressure measuring device can measure pressures from 0.05 inHg to 110 inHg with a four-to-one Test Accuracy Ratio (TAR) without using mercury.

Abstract: A practice club for practicing a sport is described, the practice club including a club shaft; an extendible bump assembly including a stopper movable between a rest position in which it rests against a mounting stop, and an extended position in which the stopper extends a selected distance from the stop. There is also described a sports club or bat with a tension indicator disposed on a shaft of the practice club or bat to indicate tension of an inextensible stringer or resilient element in or on the practice club or bat.

Abstract: A turbocharger includes a compressor housing, a turbo shaft, a bearing housing, a bearing cartridge, and a spacer. The compressor housing includes a backplate. The turbo shaft extends through the backplate and the bearing housing, and is rotatable about an axis. The backplate is positioned between an interior of the compressor housing and an interior of the bearing housing. The bearing cartridge is positioned in the bearing housing and rotatably supports the turbo shaft therein. The spacer is engaged with the bearing housing and an outer radial portion of the bearing cartridge to prevent rotation therebetween. The spacer includes a deflector formed integrally therewith that directs a lubricant axially away from the compressor housing.

Abstract: A method of automatically generating a digital soundtrack intended for synchronised playback with associated speech audio, the method executed by a processing device or devices having associated memory. The method comprises syntactically and/or semantically analysing text representing or corresponding to the speech audio at a text segment level to generate an emotional profile for each text segment in the context of a continuous emotion model. The method further comprises generating a soundtrack for the speech audio comprising one or more audio regions that are configured or selected for playback during corresponding speech regions of the speech audio, and wherein the audio configured for playback in the audio regions is based on or a function of the emotional profile of one or more of the text segments within the respective speech regions.
