Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for an exhaust system. In one example, the exhaust system includes an aftertreatment device and a recirculation passage. A recirculation valve is positioned in the recirculation passage and configured to control an amount of recirculated exhaust gas flowing through the recirculation passage to the aftertreatment device. The exhaust system further includes a diverter valve configured to control a flow of engine exhaust gases to different portions of a catalyst of the aftertreatment device.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a resonator of an exhaust system. In one example, the resonator is a quarter wave resonator with a diaphragm configured to provide pulsations during low-end engine torque conditions.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a heating device. In one example, a system comprises a heat exchanger and an air filter arranged in a common housing, wherein the heat exchanger is configured to receive coolant from a heating device. In one example, the heating device is an electric heating device.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for an aftertreatment system. In one example, a method comprises regenerating a NOx trap during an engine shut-down event. The method further comprises reversing a direction of flow of a gas through a HP-EGR passage during the regenerating.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a condensation mitigation device. In one example, a system may include a vortex generator arranged in a flow channel of a compressor along with a condensate collection device configured to direct condensate away from compressor blades of the compressor.

Abstract: A key blank for manufacturing a key for a disk cylinder having rotatable disk tumblers has a key shaft that extends along a longitudinal axis. The key shaft further has a plurality of notches that extend transversely to the longitudinal axis, that extend at equal spacings from one another, and that have the same depth. In a key, these notches may form chamfers of drive slopes for driving the disk tumblers.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a mixing chamber in a turbine. In one example, a system comprises a mixing chamber integrally formed within a turbine with an injector positioned to inject reductant directly into the mixing chamber.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for an exhaust gas system. In one example, a system comprises a conical passage fluidly coupling a turbine outlet to an aftertreatment device. The conical passage may further comprise a scavenge valve to adjust exhaust gas flow therethrough.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for an internal combustion engine having an oil circuit. In one example, a system may include a rising oil line from a block to a cylinder head of an engine; a main oil line in the head; and an oil siphon system including a reservoir positioned between, and having at least one portion at a lower elevation than both, a section the rising line and a section of the main oil line so that oil flows into, and remains in, the reservoir when the engine is shut-off. In this way, the design of the oil circuit may be used to improve oil supply to engine components while minimizing delays in oil supply during engine startup.
