  • System and method for determining when to turn off engines
    Patent number: 9880973
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining when to turn off an engine are described. The systems and methods may identify when an amount of carboxyhemoglobin exceeds a predetermined threshold; and monitor the amount of carboxyhemoglobin for a period of time. The systems and methods may determine when the amount of carboxyhemoglobin exceeds the predetermined threshold during the time period; and turn off the engine when the amount of carboxyhemoglobin exceeds the predetermined threshold during the time period.
    Type: Grant

  • DIRECT INJECTION FLATHEAD ENGINE
    Publication number: 20100139615
    Abstract: A direct injection flathead engine comprising an internal combustion cylinder block with at least one fuel injector positioned substantially transverse to the cylinder axis. The engine also comprises at least one exhaust valve positioned substantially near the at least one fuel injector, where the exhaust valve is on the same side of the piston as the fuel injector. In one aspect, a fuel injector is positioned substantially transverse to the cylinder axis, whereby a substantial portion of the fuel may be sprayed on top of the hot exhaust valve and deflected towards the spark plug, thus forming a stratified charge around the spark plug.
