Patent number: 11840945Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes an engine lubrication fluid storage system with a primary storage volume and a secondary storage volume that is separate from the primary storage volume. The secondary storage volume is linked to the primary storage volume with a fluid flow path that is throttled so that lubrication fluid is stored in the secondary storage volume during engine operation, and drains from the secondary storage volume to the primary storage volume when the engine is not running.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2022Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: Cummins Inc.Inventors: Pablo F. Diaz Poueriet, Ella Michelle Morris

Patent number: 11466600Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes an engine lubrication fluid system with a main rifle for distribution of filtered lubrication fluid to a plurality of engine components through a plurality of secondary rifles connected to the main rifle. The system also includes a bypass for bypassing the filter in response to certain engine operating conditions. The bypass is connected to at least one of the secondary rifles so that unfiltered lubrication fluid is not provided to certain engine components under filter bypass conditions, and provided directly to certain other engine components for which unfiltered lubrication fluid is less problematic.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2021Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: Cummins Inc.Inventors: Stephen D. Cofer, Jr., Ella Michelle Morris, Nickolas A. Springmeyer

Patent number: 8746928Abstract: The present invention comprise a flag illumination assembly that both (i) illuminates an associated flag from a vertical edge of the flag and (ii) swivels with the edge of the flag as the flag is tossed in the wind. The foregoing facilitates illumination of the flag regardless of the direction of the wind. Further, a simmering effect is often created as a result of natural undulations of the flag in wind relative to the beams of light being directed thereon from the illumination assembly.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2010Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Inventors: Michelle Morris, John Bode

Publication number: 20070053707Abstract: A method and apparatus to clear the accumulation of toner particles from a doctor element by periodically reversing a bias field between a doctor element and a developer member. The developer member may be biased to a first electrical potential while the doctor element may be biased to a second electrical potential. The second electrical potential may be higher than the first electrical potential. The doctor element and the developer member may be biased from a single voltage supply and a voltage dividing circuit. A bias reversing circuit may cause the second electrical potential to fall, at least temporarily, below that of the first electrical potential when power from the voltage supply is removed. The bias reversing circuit may also cause the first electrical potential to fall with a longer time constant than that of the second electrical potential when power from the voltage supply is removed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2005Publication date: March 8, 2007Inventors: Gregory Ream, Michelle Morris, William Menk
