Patent number: 11708808Abstract: Systems and methods for treated exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) for an internal combustion engine are disclosed. The internal combustion engine has an exhaust manifold discharging exhaust gas and an intake manifold receiving forced air from a compressor. One or more exhaust treatment devices treat the exhaust gas and produce a treated exhaust gas. The EGR system includes an EGR line downstream of the one or more exhaust treatment devices and connected to the engine intake line downstream of the compressor, wherein the treated EGR line recirculates the treated exhaust gas to the intake manifold of the engine without passing through the compressor.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2022Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: SPI.SYSTEMS CORPORATIONInventors: John Francis Schickler, Andrew R. Komarek, Richard Hugh Scott, Jr., James J. Carello

Patent number: 7775120Abstract: An electromechanical actuator test system includes an inertia simulator, a first load actuator, a second load actuator, and a test system control. The inertia simulator simulates the inertia of at least a portion of a system that is moved by a test actuator. The first load actuator supplies a first load to the inertia simulator to simulate at least one or more dynamic system loads, and the second load actuator supplies a second load to the inertia simulator to simulate at least one or more steady-state system loads. The test system control supplies the first actuator commands and the second actuator commands.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2008Date of Patent: August 17, 2010Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Kevin Eugene Owens, Robert Jay Blome, Dwayne M. Benson, Steven Talbert Forrest, James Neil Quitmeyer, Hugh Scott McDowell

Patent number: 5058688Abstract: A convertible drill apparatus for applying force to a probe capable of operating in either a vibratory drilling mode wherein the apparatus is adapted to drive the probe into the material to be drilled or a rotary drilling mode wherein the apparatus drives the probe into the material to be drilled by rotation of the probe. The apparatus comprises a drill stand, vibratory drive for imparting a vibratory motion to the probe, rotary drive for imparting a rotary movement to the probe, a vibratory drive probe coupling for coupling the probe to the vibratory drive, a rotary drive probe coupling for coupling the probe to the rotary drive, a support for supporting and containing the coupling, a carriage assembly for mounting the support to the drill stand in sliding up and down fashion, and carriage drive for lifting or lowering the carriage assembly. The invention can be easily converted from vibratory drilling modes to rotary drilling modes and back by exchanging the vibratory drive with the rotary drive.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 1990Date of Patent: October 22, 1991Assignee: Meta-Probe Inc.Inventors: Hugh Scott, John Porritt
