Patent number: 11937663Abstract: A sole structure for an article of footwear includes a first plate having a first surface. The first plate includes a forefoot region at an anterior end, a heel region at a posterior end, and a mid-foot region. The sole structure further includes a second plate having a second surface opposing the first surface of the first plate. The second plate has a first end attached to the forefoot region of the first plate and a second end that is spaced apart from the first surface of the first plate. A cushion is disposed between the first plate and the second plate and has a first side attached to the first surface of the first plate and a second side attached to the second surface of second plate. The cushion extends continuously from a medial side of the sole structure to a lateral side of the sole structure.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: NIKE, Inc.Inventors: Jeremy L. Connell, Karen S. Dimoff, Stefan E. Guest, Charlie Keller, Troy C. Lindner, Geng Luo, Tetsuya T. Minami, Jonathan Rasca, Adam Thuss

Patent number: 8534054Abstract: According to one aspect of the present invention, a liquid reductant tank for supplying liquid reductant to a selective catalytic reduction system is disclosed. The tank includes a tank cavity for holding a liquid reductant and being at least partially defined by one or more side walls; a liquid reductant supply line at least partially situated within the tank cavity and for communicating liquid reductant from the tank cavity to outside of the tank cavity; and a heating element situated at least partially within the liquid reductant supply line and for thawing frozen reductant situated within the supply line during cold start conditions to obtain liquid reductant for use in a selective catalytic reduction system.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2011Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: David Cook, Furqan Zafar Shaikh, Michael Levin, David Furedy, Evan Kent Dawson, Daniel Kabat, Jeremy Keller

Patent number: 8079211Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for injecting liquid reductant into an engine exhaust. An example system includes a gas deflector positioned upstream of an injector where the gas deflector is configured to create a high pressure zone upstream of the deflector and a low pressure zone downstream of the deflector surrounding the injector outlet. A bypass flow passage diverts exhaust flow from the high pressure zone upstream of the deflector to allow the bypassed portion of exhaust to flow into the exhaust gas stream to form a gas shield for a liquid reductant spray from the injector. In this way, it is possible to reduce deposit formation and accumulation in the exhaust system.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2008Date of Patent: December 20, 2011Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Michael Levin, Jeremy Keller, Furqan Zafar Shaikh

Publication number: 20100107614Abstract: Systems and methods for injecting liquid reductant into an engine exhaust are provided herein to address the above mentioned issues. An example system includes an injector having an outlet for injecting liquid reductant into the exhaust gas upstream of the reduction catalytic converter, a gas deflector positioned upstream of the injector where the gas deflector is configured to create a high pressure zone upstream of the deflector and a low pressure zone downstream of the deflector surrounding the injector outlet, a bypass flow passage configured to divert a portion of exhaust flow from the exhaust passage, the bypass flow passage having an inlet in the high pressure zone upstream of the deflector, and a collector in fluid communication with the bypass flow passage, the collector having one or more openings for allowing the bypassed portion of exhaust to flow out of the collector openings into the exhaust gas stream to form a gas shield for the liquid reductant spray.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2008Publication date: May 6, 2010Applicant: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Michael Levin, Jeremy Keller, Furqan Zafar Shaikh
