  • Publication number: 20240141824
    Abstract: The power system includes a compression ignition engine configured to combust intake gas; an intake arrangement configured to intake charge air; an exhaust arrangement to receive a first portion of the exhaust; an EGR arrangement to receive a second portion of the exhaust as EGR gas; a first mixer to selectively mix a first portion of the EGR gas and the charge air as mixed gas; an intake heat exchanger positioned upstream or downstream of the first mixer and respectively configured to receive one of the intake charge air or the mixed gas such that heat is exchanged with engine coolant; a second mixer positioned downstream of the first mixer and the intake heat exchanger and configured to selectively mix a second portion of the EGR gas and the mixed gas to form the intake gas; and an intake manifold configured to direct the intake gas into the engine.

  • Patent number: 5440481
    Abstract: A Process for analyzing full-text is provided for identifying often-repea, high user interest, word phrases in a database. Often-repeated, high user interest, word phrases are defined as pervasive theme areas (PTAs). The process also allows the relationship defined as connectivity among the various PTAs to be identified. In addition, phrases that are in proximity to the PTAs and which are strongly supportive of the PTAs are identified. Numerical indices, figure of merit, and user defined thresholds are used to quantify relations between PTAs and among PTAs and phrases.

  • Patent number: 5427794
    Abstract: A non-aqueous insecticidal unit comprising an insecticidal composition concentrate in the form of a water soluble or water dispersible gel contained in a cold water soluble or dispersible bag. The bag upon being solubilized or dispersed in water is capable of being used in an agricultural chemical spray unit. The composition comprises a synthetic pyrethroid, a solvent, at least one gelling agent, at least one emulsifier, at least one antifoaming agent, at least one antioxidant and an acidic agent.
