Abstract: A system and method includes an internal combustion engine capable of producing an exhaust stream and an aftertreatment system operationally coupled to the exhaust stream. The aftertreatment system includes an upstream selective reduction catalyst (SCR) component and a downstream SCR component that are positioned in substantially different thermal environments. The upstream and downstream SCR components are sized to fully treat the entire exhaust stream at a low temperature highest NOx conversion condition, and the downstream SCR component is sized to fully treat the entire exhaust stream at a high temperature highest NOx conversion condition.

Abstract: A container feeding system is shown having an unscrambler having an unscrambler bowl providing a track or channel that is adjustable such that it can accommodate bottles of varying sizes. The system comprises an adjustable chute that is also adjustable and having a chute channel or track that is also adjustable to accommodate containers of varying sizes when the containers are conveyed from the unscrambling bowl, through the adjustable chute, and to a subsequent processing station.

Abstract: A method for modifying a NOx adsorber regeneration triggering variable. Engine operating conditions are monitored until the regeneration triggering variable is met. The adsorber is regenerated and the adsorbtion efficiency of the adsorber is subsequently determined. The regeneration triggering variable is modified to correspond with the decline in adsorber efficiency. The adsorber efficiency may be determined using an empirically predetermined set of values or by using a pair of oxygen sensors to determine the oxygen response delay across the sensors.

Abstract: A disposable cap and cape is provided for use during the chemical processing of hair both during the waiting period and the rinsing phase. It is preferrably fabricated from a single rectangular sheet of thin flexible plastic. The cap portion is formed at one end by folding the sheet over onto itself and welding the sides to each. A U-shaped neck cutout is made at the other end creating ties from the remaining material on either side. When the device is used as a cap, the cap portion is fitted over the head and the chemical is retained inside by the proximity of the sheet material. When the device is used as a cape, one tie is positioned on each side of the head, the device is pulled up to the back of the neck, the ties are tied together at the forehead, and the cap portion is allowed to drape down the back. Rinse water and chemicals then flow over the outside of the former cap into a sink.
