  • Patent number: 9140170
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for enhancing the performance of an SCR device, particularly by routinely reducing the amount of reductant deposits accumulated in an exhaust gas system, when the reductant is injected at a reduced temperature. The system may include an engine, an exhaust gas system, an SCR device, an injection device, and a controller configured to execute the present method. The controller may be configured to select an initial injection rate and an initial injection temperature for the reductant; estimate the amount of accumulated reductant deposits present within the exhaust gas system; compare the amount of accumulated reductant deposits to a threshold amount of reductant deposits allowable in the exhaust gas system; and initiate a reductant deposit burn-off mode when the amount of accumulated reductant deposits is greater than the threshold amount of reductant deposits allowable in the exhaust gas system.

  • Patent number: 7634610
    Abstract: A method and system for enforcing ordering rules for transactions are presented. The method and system generates transaction clump tags for each transaction before the transactions are stored in various type specific transaction queues. A transaction clump tag decoding unit decodes the transaction clump tag to recover temporal information regarding the transaction to avoid violations of the ordering rules.

  • Patent number: 6769731
    Abstract: A cargo cover is provided for a cargo compartment of a vehicle. The cargo cover includes first and second panels configured to cover the cargo compartment. Each panel has a top surface. First and second rails are mounted to the top surface of the first panel, and third and fourth rails are mounted to the top surface of the second panel. The first rail is pivotally connected to the third rail by a first hinge, and the second rail is pivotally connected to the third rail by a second hinge. The first panel is pivotable to a folded position over the second panel. In the folded position, the first rail rests against the third rail and the second rail rests against the fourth rail so that the top surfaces do not touch.
