  • Publication number: 20240111838
    Abstract: A data processing apparatus includes circuitry configured to: receive a first signal indicative of one or more words communicated from a first user of online content to one or more second users of online content; classify the one or more words using the first signal; receive one or more second signals indicative of one or more physiological characteristics of the first user within a time period of a start of the communication of the one or more words; classify the one or more physiological characteristics using the one or more second signals; based on a classification of the one or more words and a classification of the one or more physiological characteristics, generate an action signal indicating that an action associated with the first user of the online content is to be taken, the action signal indicating a characteristic of the action determined based on a combination of the classification of the one or more words and the classification of the one or more physiological characteristics; and output the act

  • Publication number: 20070101969
    Abstract: Disclosed is a fuel additive system for internal combustion engines in which the fuel additive system is disposed on-board a vessel such as marine vessel or locomotive. The fuel additive system includes a fuel additive reservoir containing a fuel additive in fluid communication with an internal combustion engine. An electronically controlled injector, such as an eductor, is in fluid communication with the internal combustion engine and a fuel level meter or sensor, fuel efficiency meter or sensor, or other meter or sensor which, upon sensing certain pre-set conditions, e.g., increase of fuel level in a fuel storage tank or decrease in fuel efficiency, the injector injects an appropriate amount of fuel additive from the fuel additive reservoir and into the fuel stream that ultimately enters the internal combustion engine.

  • Patent number: 6302132
    Abstract: A valve assembly includes a valve and a gearbox. The valve includes a valve body having a drive opening and a mounting surface adjacent the drive opening. At least one mounting bore is formed in the mounting surface. At least one rigid pin is fixed to and projects from the mounting surface. A rotatable valve member is disposed in the valve body. A gearbox is operable to rotate the valve member through the drive opening. The gearbox includes a casing including a mounting wall positioned adjacent the mounting surface of the valve body. At least one mounting hole is formed in the mounting wall and is disposed adjacent the mounting bore. At least one pin hole is formed in the mounting wall and receives the pin. A drive hole is formed in the mounting wall and communicates with the drive opening. At least one fastener extends through the mounting hole and engages the mounting bore to secure the casing to the mounting surface. The pin resists relative rotational movement of the casing and the valve body.
