Publication number: 20160076477Abstract: A dual-mode fuel injector has an internal part containing a variable volume chamber space which fills with fuel at common rail pressure and a plunger which is operable to force fuel out of the variable volume chamber space and to be injected out of the nozzle through the injection orifices at amplified pressure greater than common rail pressure. The plunger and the internal part have respective surfaces which come into mutual abutment during filling of the variable volume chamber space with fuel at common rail pressure and which, when in mutual abutment, create a seal which seals fuel in the variable volume chamber space against escape from the variable volume chamber space past the seal.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2013Publication date: March 17, 2016Applicant: International Engine Intellectual Property Company, LLCInventors: William Yunbiao Shen, Keith Steven Schulz, Erik Jordan Hansen

Publication number: 20150246800Abstract: A safety tool is specifically adapted to aid in opening hinged rear doors of industrial containers safely, while also ensuring that the operator of the safety tool remain outside the potential zone of danger whenever the rear door has the potential to swing open. The present safety tool not only provides convenience and leverage for commonly performed door opening procedures, but also ensures that the operator's body and hands remain safely distanced from the direction of door travel and the potential discharge path of material contained within the cargo box. In addition, the present safety tool is lightweight and compact, allowing the tool to be easily stowed in or around a cargo box and/or truck to and thereby ensure that the safety tool is available whenever it may be needed to aid in opening and/or closing the cargo box door.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2015Publication date: September 3, 2015Inventor: Keith Steven High

Publication number: 20130060478Abstract: A computer-implemented method for controlling command voltages applied to electrodes during an electrophysiology measurement procedure using a high-throughput measurement system is provided. An initial command voltage is applied to the electrodes to obtain baseline currents respectively associated with the electrodes. A common offset voltage is determined based on the baseline currents, and an adjusted command voltage is determined based on the initial command voltage and the common offset voltage. The adjusted command voltage is applied to at least one of the electrodes to obtain an adjusted current measured by the electrode. A local offset voltage for the electrode is determined based on the adjusted current measured by the electrode. A subsequent command voltage applied to the electrode incorporates the common offset voltage and the local offset voltage.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2012Publication date: March 7, 2013Applicant: MOLECULAR DEVICES, LLCInventors: Yuri V.

Publication number: 20120205469Abstract: A fuel injector for an internal combustion engine comprises a fuel intensification section and a needle control section. The fuel intensification section has an inlet and an outlet. The fuel intensification section receives fuel at a first pressure at the inlet and provides fuel at one of the first and second pressures at the outlet. The second pressure is greater than the first pressure. The needle control section has an injector needle and an injector needle control valve. The injector needle has a first position and a second position. The injector needle is disposed in the second position to allow fuel to flow from the fuel injector to the internal combustion engine. The injector needle control valve controls movement of the injector needle. All of the fuel that flows from the fuel injector to the internal combustion engine passes through the fuel outlet of the fuel intensification section.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2011Publication date: August 16, 2012Applicant: International Engine Intellectual Property Company LLCInventors: William Yunbiao Shen, Keith Steven Schulz, Joseph Angelino
