Scott R. BARDAKJY has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11624341
    Abstract: A system and method of integrating an engine having dynamic skip fire control with an exhaust gas recirculation system in a turbocharged internal combustion engine is described. An engine control system determines an appropriate firing pattern based at least in part on a desired exhaust gas recirculation flow rate. Signals from sensors in the intake manifold and exhaust system may also be used as part of a feedback loop to determine a desired exhaust gas recirculation flow rate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 8, 2022
    Date of Patent: April 11, 2023
    Assignees: Tula Technology, Inc., Cummins Inc.

  • Patent number: 10704512
    Abstract: Intake manifold-cylinder head connectors and methods of assembling the same are disclosed. A distal jumper tube includes a distal jumper tube conduit with an upstream end having a first exterior engagement feature and a downstream end. A proximal jumper tube includes a proximal jumper tube conduit with an upstream end and a downstream end having a second exterior engagement feature. A middle jumper tube includes a middle jumper tube conduit with an upstream end having a third exterior engagement feature, and a downstream end having a fourth engagement feature. The first exterior engagement feature is removably coupled to the fourth exterior engagement feature, and the second exterior engagement feature is removably engaged to the third exterior engagement feature. The proximal jumper tube is in fluid receiving communication with an intake manifold conduit, and the distal jumper tube is in fluid providing communication with a cylinder head aperture.
