Jonathan Ewing has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20250250945
    Abstract: Internal combustion engines, including diesel engines, can safely and efficiently operate using alternative fuels by ensuring the emissions system always performs the regeneration process using an appropriate fuel. An electronic control unit that communicates with the fuel delivery system and the emissions control system of an engine inhibits the regeneration activity until an appropriate fuel is present, waits until the regeneration event is completed and then directs the engine to continue operation with the alternative fuel.

  • Patent number: 10385812
    Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for adapting and modifying an existing mono-fuel delivery system for an internal combustion engine to run as a bi-fuel system by reusing and repurposing OEM components of the mono-fuel system. The bi-fuel system makes use of an integration plate that may be mounted to the system fuel filter in substantially the same location as the fuel filter is mounted in the mono-fuel configuration. The integration plate also may deliver either fuel types into the existing engine fuel intake port thus the system does not require the creation of a secondary fuel intake port for the secondary fuel. The integration plate may also be situated such that it minimizes the space it must use within the engine compat anent and it may use the preexisting engine mounting points designed for the fuel filter in the mono-fuel system.

  • Patent number: 10202950
    Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for modifying an engine for use with an alternative fuel that needs to be conditioned. Coolant is diverted from the original engine heater core and is used to heat or condition the alternative fuel both in the alternative fuel tank and in a special manifold that heats and circulates the fuel before delivering it to the engine. An electronic control unit monitors the temperature and pressure to ensure proper viscosity and engine operation.

  • Publication number: 20180268505
    Abstract: A method of performing analysis-based conflict mediation is performed by executing computer-executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium. The method provides an analytic hierarchy process (AHP), that is stored on a computing device. The method of the present manages a conflict-mediation profile that includes client accounts. Each of which is associated to one of the opposing parties to the mediation process. The method uses mediation criteria, mediation demands, and business objectives and user-supplied importance values as the inputs for the AHP. The AHP generates weights that quantify how emotional and logical the opposing parties are. This analysis is used to rank the parties' desired outcomes and to present the parties with a set of resolutions which are logically based and mutually beneficial.
