  • Patent number: 9416727
    Abstract: An engine assembly includes an internal combustion engine and a waste heat recovery system. The waste heat recovery system is configured to direct refrigerant around a loop. The loop includes a heat exchanger configured to transfer heat from engine exhaust gases to the refrigerant such that the refrigerant is vaporized; a turbine configured to receive and be driven by the vaporized refrigerant; and a condenser configured to cool and condense the refrigerant for subsequent delivery in liquid form to the heat exchanger. The turbine includes a turbine wheel connected to a shaft which is held in a shaft housing, a bearing lubricated by liquid refrigerant being provided between the shaft and the shaft housing, and squeeze film dampers which utilize the liquid refrigerant are provided between the bearing and the shaft housing.

  • Patent number: 6608641
    Abstract: A printer for printing color toner images on a receiver member of any of a variety of textures. The printer has a number of tandemly arranged electrophotographic image-forming modules respectively including a plurality of imaging subsystems to form a colored toner image transferred to a receiver member, the transfer of toner images from each of the modules forming a color print of the receiver member which is fused to form a desired color print. The image quality of the color print is produced by control of nonoperational co-optimization of fusing parameters and imaging subsystem parameters enabling printing on the variety of textures of receiver member.
