Abstract: Multi-stage exhaust after treatment devices and compact arrangements of the same suitable for use in vehicles including diesel freight trucks. The multi-stage exhaust after-treatment device can include a first stage after-treatment component and a second stage after-treatment component that are connected by a transition chamber. The first stage after-treatment component and the second stage after-treatment component can be distinct enclosures shaped, arranged, and attached to form a vertically-stacked configuration with a non-linear upper pathway for exhaust after-treatment and a non-linear lower pathway for exhaust after-treatment that is additionally complemented by mixing in the transition chamber. Methods of manufacturing, integrating, and using such devices are also provided.

Abstract: A process in device may include measuring an electrical parameter of a monitored element through at least one connection with at least one transducer, determining whether the at least one connection to the monitored element is correct based on the electrical parameter with at least one processor, and outputting an error and potential fixes when the at least one connection to the monitored element is not correct with the at least one processor, and/or correcting electrical parameter data when the at least one connection to the monitored element is not correct with the at least one processor. The electrical parameter may include at least one of the following: voltage, current, phase, and/or polarity. Other embodiments of this aspect include corresponding computer systems, apparatus, and computer programs recorded on one or more computer storage devices, each configured to perform the actions of the methods.

Abstract: Crop processing rolls for operative use in forage harvesters are formed from independent segments having a plurality of first grooves that are oriented in a parallel manner with second smaller grooves intersecting the ridges to form discrete teeth from the ridges. The ridges can be formed vertically, horizontally or in a spiraled pattern with the smaller second grooves oriented into a spiraled pattern to form the discrete teeth. Crop processing roll segments can be formed in this manner and assembled into full processing rolls with the spiraled second grooves being oriented in opposing directions from adjacent segments. The number of segments can vary from two to eight individual segments with the second grooves breaking ridges into discrete teeth on adjacent segments forming a chevron pattern at intersecting positions along the longitudinal length of the processing roll.

Abstract: An oven for baking a food product includes a housing having a ceiling, a floor, first and second opposing side walls, at least one internal heating zone defined by the ceiling, the floor and the first and second opposing side walls, and at least one heating source for providing heat to the at least one internal heating zone. The ceiling is formed of carbon steel. At least a surface of the ceiling facing the at least one internal heating zone is formed as a high emissivity chemical conversion coating.

Abstract: A replacement cover is provided for a wall mounted, circular thermostat. The replacement cover engages the rotatable sub-assembly of a wall mounted, circular thermostat and provides a transparent convex lens for enlarging the appearance of temperature indications. In a preferred embodiment a lamp is mounted in the replacement cover to illuminate the temperature indications for easier reading. The lighting circuit includes a battery, a lamp bulb and a normally open switch which can be closed by the operator/viewer of the thermostat.
