  • Patent number: 12146448
    Abstract: A vehicle including an engine; a turbocharger, an intake air flow path of the vehicle defined from air entering the vehicle, passing through the compressor, and flowing into the engine air inlet; a coolant container assembly; a temperature sensor configured for determining a temperature in the intake air flow path; and a controller configured to selectively cause cooling liquid to flow from the coolant container into the intake air flow path. A method for managing engine air intake temperature or piston temperature of a turbocharged vehicle including: sensing a temperature of fluid within the air intake flow path, determining an estimated piston temperature; and in response to the estimated piston temperature and/or the temperature of the fluid being above threshold temperatures, causing an amount of cooling liquid to flow from a coolant container to the air intake flow path.

  • Publication number: 20240312772
    Abstract: An in-situ current sensing apparatus for a plasma processing system has one or more sections defining a plasma channel, the plasma processing system configured to form a plasma in the plasma channel using a process gas. The in-situ current sensing apparatus includes an assembly including an electrically conductive housing coupled to a dielectric coating layer, wherein a surface of the dielectric coating layer is configured to physically contact at least one of the process gas or the plasma in the plasma channel. The in-situ current sensing apparatus also includes a current probe, inductively or electrically connected to the assembly, for sensing a capacitively-coupled current within the assembly caused by the formation of plasma in the plasma channel. The in-situ current-sensing apparatus further includes at least one dielectric break for electrically isolating the assembly from the one or more sections. The assembly may include an electrode embedded within the housing.

  • Patent number: 10527170
    Abstract: An osmotic delivery system is disclosed for delivering an active agent formulation to a fluid environment. The osmotic delivery system typically comprises a reservoir having a lumen that contains the active agent formulation and an osmotic agent formulation and a piston assembly positioned in the lumen to isolate the active agent formulation from the osmotic agent formulation. The piston assembly typically comprises a body constructed and arranged for positioning in the lumen. The body is typically made of a polymeric material that is, for example, resistant to leaching in an organic solvent. In one embodiment, the body is a columnar body having a rim at a distal end thereof for engaging and sealing against a wall of the reservoir and the piston assembly further comprises a spring retained at the distal end of the columnar body for biasing the rim of the columnar body against the wall of the reservoir.
