  • Patent number: 11649777
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine is operated at fuel-rich conditions by adjusting one or more operating parameters such as, for example, a throttle, an ignition timing, a load coupled to the engine, a fuel pressure, power to a supercharger, and power to a preheater to maintain a specified engine speed and a temperature of an exhaust gas. Operating the engine under these conditions allows the engine to function as a reformer producing a synthesis gas comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide.

  • Patent number: 11428461
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a high side heat exchanger, a load, a compressor, a belt, a first bin, a second bin, and a controller. The high side heat exchanger removes heat from a refrigerant. The load uses the refrigerant to cool an enclosed space. The compressor compresses the refrigerant. The first and second bins are coupled to the belt and positioned within the enclosed space. The controller receives a first message, determines that the first bin should be selected, and cycles the belt to move the first bin to a retrieval location within the enclosed space. The controller also receives a second message, determines that the second bin should be selected, and cycles the belt to move the second bin to the retrieval location.

  • Publication number: 20220128744
    Abstract: A partially reflective thin film coating is utilized on an optical substrate that is affixed to a waveguide-based optical combiner in a see-through display of a mixed-reality head-mounted display (HMD) device to partially reflect a forward propagating holographic image light back to the user's eye. The thin film coating may be implemented as a broadband reflector over the angular range associated with the holographic images that are rendered over the field of view (FOV) of the virtual portion of the see-through display to simplify manufacturing and reduce bulk and weight of the HMD device.
