  • Patent number: 9617892
    Abstract: An exhaust after-treatment system for mitigating deposition of urea utilizing selective catalytic reduction (SCR) in exhaust receiving communication with an exhaust gas stream produced by an engine system, including an exhaust passage including a mixing duct through which the exhaust gas stream flows. A fluid reservoir contains a urea solution and a fluid pump is fluidly connected to the fluid reservoir to draw the urea solution from within the fluid reservoir. A fluid injector is configured to receive the urea solution from the fluid pump and deliver the urea solution into the mixing duct and at least one vibration mechanism is mechanically coupled to one or both of the fluid injector and the mixing duct to generate and convey vibrations thereto to mitigate the deposition of urea.

  • Publication number: 20150345446
    Abstract: A method of mitigating axial loads on a plunger of a fuel pump is disclosed. The fuel pump includes a compression chamber. The compression chamber receives a supply of fuel while the fuel pump is in an operational state and correspondingly facilitates exertion of an axial load on the plunger. The method initiates with receiving a change in voltage of the strain gauge circuit while the fuel pump is in operation. The change in voltage corresponds to the axial load exerted by the compression chamber on the plunger. Thereafter, the axial load on the plunger is determined by use of the change in the voltage of the strain gauge circuit. The axial load on the plunger is compared with a threshold value. If the axial load breaches the threshold value, the supply of fuel to the compression chamber is altered.

  • Patent number: 7217889
    Abstract: Two pairs of vias are arranged in a printed circuit board. A first pair of vias, which conveys a first signal pair, is arranged in a plane that is substantially equidistant from the vias in a second pair of vias, which conveys a second signal pair. Similarly, the second pair of vias is located in a plane that is substantially equidistant from each via in the first pair of vias. In some embodiments, such an arrangement reduces the crosstalk effect of the first signal pair on the second signal pair and vice versa.
