  • Patent number: 10001097
    Abstract: A fuel injection apparatus for a piston engine includes a fuel injector body in which an injector needle is provided, which injector needle is arranged to prevent or allow fuel injection flow from the injection apparatus based on the position of the injector needle. The position is effected by a pressurized control fluid so that by applying the pressurized control fluid the needle may be urged towards its closed position and by reducing the pressurized control fluid the needle may be allowed to move away from its closed position. The injection apparatus includes a flow path for the control fluid, wherein the flow path for the control fluid comprises a restriction section providing a restriction effect to the control fluid flow. The restriction section includes at least one temperature-effected member providing a temperature-dependent restriction effect.

  • Publication number: 20160320850
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for a processor to control a user-interface of a wearable computer or a device connected to the wearable computer. The system and method includes monitoring of events received from sensors on the wearable computer or the device connected to the wearable computer, and performing a machine learning process to determine when the monitored event is a predefined impact gesture. On determination that the monitored event is a predefined impact gesture, the processor is configured to perform a predefined response in the user-interface corresponding to the predefined impact gesture.

  • Patent number: 9303610
    Abstract: A novel fuel injection unit for a large internal combustion engine includes a common rail fuel system. The fuel injection unit of the invention is constructed of at least a high pressure fuel accumulator specific for the fuel injection unit, a flow fuse, a first fuel injection valve with a control valve, and a second fuel injection valve with a control valve. The first fuel injection valve is a smaller one used for injecting at most 30% of the fuel required in full load operation of a diesel mode.

  • Publication number: 20060219804
    Abstract: An arrangement in the fuel injection system for controlling the fuel injection, the arrangement comprising a body part with a space arranged therein, through which space the fuel to be injected flows during operation, the space further having an inlet opening and an outlet opening therein. The arrangement further comprises a piston means, arranged movably in the space and a flow path for creating a flow connection between the fuel inlet and the fuel outlet openings. The flow path comprises at least one throttling portion opening into the space of the body part, the cross-sectional flow area of the throttling portion being defined by the relative positions of the piston means and the body part.
