  • Publication number: 20160373893
    Abstract: An iBeacon compatible Bluetooth low energy device based system for monitoring objects includes a plurality of devices, a plurality of managers, and a manufacturer. Devices are attached to objects or integrated into the objects. The devices may be used for positional tracking only, or may include one or more sensors for measuring or monitoring a characteristic of the object. A device manufacturer commissions the devices with unique majors and minors. Each device is then associated with a device manager, and the device transmits messages to the manager when the device is within range of the manager. The manager determines characteristics of the object as a function of the received messages and a location (e.g., GPS coordinates) of the manager.

  • Publication number: 20160348605
    Abstract: A fuel delivery system for an engine is provided. The fuel delivery system includes a tank, a temperature sensor, a delivery conduit, a heat exchanger, a control valve, a check valve, a bypass conduit, a bypass valve, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive a signal indicative of a temperature of a fuel present within the tank. The controller is also configured to control the control valve to selectively reverse at least a portion of the fuel in a gaseous state from the heat exchanger to the tank through the bypass conduit based, at least in part, on the received signal. The portion of the fuel is adapted to raise the temperature of the fuel present within the tank.

  • Publication number: 20160341134
    Abstract: A fuel delivery system for an engine is provided. The fuel delivery system includes a tank, a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, a delivery conduit, a return conduit, a heat exchanger, a first valve, a second valve, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive a signal indicative of a temperature of a fuel present within the tank. The controller is also configured to receive a signal indicative of a pressure of the fuel downstream of the heat exchanger. The controller is further configured to control at least one of the first valve and the second valve to selectively bypass at least a portion of the fuel in a gaseous state to the tank through the return conduit based, at least in part, on the received signals. The portion of the fuel is adapted to raise the temperature of the fuel present within the tank.
