  • INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE AND DIAGNOSTIC METHOD FOR CRANKCASE VENTILATION SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20250257674
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine with a crankcase ventilation system is provided, which, comprises a crankcase, an air intake line. The air intake line comprises a throttle valve and an air filter, and a crankcase ventilation line for venting the crankcase and a crankcase aeration line for flushing the crankcase. The crankcase ventilation line is arranged at a first junction downstream of the air filter at the air intake line. The crankcase aeration line, a sensor unit is arranged downstream of a first flow control device and upstream of a first backflow prevention device. The first junction is arranged downstream at a distance from a crankcase aeration line connection at the air intake line so that a malfunction of the crankcase ventilation system can be detected by the sensor unit.

  • GAUGE RESISTANT MEASUREMENT SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20060162470
    Abstract: A direct measuring loaded gage axle assembly that measures track strength by directly measuring constant load on split axles as vertical loads are imposed by a hydraulic ram, and horizontal loads being supplied by horizontal rams through split axles and steel wheels to the railroad tracks enabling improved calibration to measure changes in track gauge indicating track strength condition and further including electronic data recording and comparison.
