  • Engine Management System
    Publication number: 20160108861
    Abstract: An engine management system that maximizes the efficiency of internal combustion engines (gasoline or diesel) based on the performance demanded of the engine and the environmental conditions that the engine is operating in. The engine intake and cooling systems are arranged such that that the engine intake air temperature and pressure and coolant temperature are continuously optimized to provide reduced emissions on start-up and increased efficiency and performance in all environmental conditions.

  • Armored window system
    Patent number: 8037802
    Abstract: An improved transparent armor piercing protection system that acts as a vision window in an armor system. The transparent armor piercing protection system comprises ballistic plastic prisms with mirrored external surfaces disposed between armor plates so that the reflection of the image occurs entirely within the prism. The armor sheets are also redesigned with perforations to reduce weight while defeating incoming threats.
