  • Patent number: 11333094
    Abstract: A method for estimating the ageing of an exhaust gas sensor (16) placed in an exhaust line (14) of a diesel internal combustion engine (10) of an industrial vehicle (1) includes: —acquiring (S100) an initial value of an estimated remaining lifetime (50) of the exhaust gas sensor; —measuring (S102) the time spent by the engine in each of several predefined engine operation modes during a predefined time period; —for each of the engine operation modes, calculating (S104) a lifetime loss value depending on the time spent by the engine in said engine operation mode during the predefined time period and on a predefined ageing rate associated to said engine operation mode; —updating (S106) the estimated remaining lifetime value by subtracting each calculated lifetime loss value from the initial value.

  • Patent number: 4579049
    Abstract: The invention relates to a coffee percolating machine comprising a housing including coffee meal and hot water supply means, an outlet opening for the coffee brew, and a discharge opening for the exhausted coffee meal, at least one brewing cylinder having an open inlet end and mounted in the housing for rotation about an axis perpendicular to its longitudinal axis from a coffee meal charging position to a brewing position and on to a discharge position for discharging the exhausted coffee meal, and a piston disposed in the brewing cylinder for axial displacement therein in response to the position assumed thereby.
