  • Patent number: 7966742
    Abstract: A method for increasing the efficiency of an internal combustion engine utilizes three three-way valves, one that receives ambient air through an air cleaner, a second that receives hot exhaust from a catalytic converter of the internal combustion engine, and a third that receives air from a high speed blower. The three-way valves direct ambient air through the air cleaner and into a first of three dryer canisters, and direct the dried ambient air through an ozone generator to the internal combustion engine, while concurrently directing gas from the exhaust catalytic converter to the second of the three dryer canisters, and also concurrently directing air from the high speed blower to the third of the three dryer canisters.

  • Patent number: 7684904
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for facilitating substantially seamless interface between individual component systems for sensor fusion, data exchange, and communication across a broad spectrum of component systems in a vehicle without implicating hardware or software upgrade within individual legacy systems and/or sensors. A universal translator is provided to interface between individual system components that exchange data in a seamless manner between legacy data formats and specific data formats advantageously employed by newly-developed, procured and installed individual component systems.

  • Publication number: 20070258870
    Abstract: The present invention includes an apparatus for supplying a dry fluid and ozone to an engine and includes a dryer canister having a dryer material, an input valve adapted to input fluid from an air cleaner, to input fluid from the catalytic converter and to input fluid from the ambient atmosphere. The dryer canister receives the air cleaner fluid in a first phase, receives the exhaust fluid in a second phase and receives the ambient fluid in a third phase and a processor to control the dryer canister and the first valve. The dryer canister includes a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, and an output valve to control the output of the dryer canister. The output valve can direct the output of the dryer canister to the exhaust muffler, the output valve can direct the output of the dryer canister to the ambient and the output valve can direct the output of the dryer canister to the air intake manifold.
