  • Patent number: 11274582
    Abstract: A flow hood assembly for an engine aftertreatment system having a particulate filter and a selective catalytic reduction device is disclosed. An outer case defines a cavity, the outer case having an inlet and an outlet formed therein, and a neck section formed between the inlet and the outlet. A socket in the outer case is in an opposed relationship to the outlet and is shaped to receive an injector that introduces a reducing agent into the flow of exhaust gases. A baffle reduces a cross-sectional area of the cavity at the neck section to increase exhaust gas velocity at a sensor positioned at the neck section. A deflector member in the cavity between the baffle and the socket directs a portion of the exhaust gases towards the socket and across the injector nozzle.

  • Patent number: 10263463
    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are provided that introduce electrical components to alter the electrical characteristics of power delivery systems in residential and commercial power circuits to: prevent the disaggregation of electrical utility consumption data by alteration of the composite load profiles. The device and method prevent accurate identification of powered devices, their presence, their operating characteristics, their consumption data, and any inferences of power device user's behaviors and activities by the analysis of disaggregated data. The operation of the device may include any of a range of steps, actions and instructions to introduce altering impedance elements and filtration circuits in coordinated fashion with the operation of the targeted devices to be masked.

  • Patent number: 9928978
    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are provided that introduce or alter electrical characteristics of a power delivery system such as a residential power circuit to alter load profiles to prevent accurate identification of powered devices or disaggregation of distinct device information. This masking may include any of a range of steps or actions or devices to introduce or altering impedance elements or filtration circuits in coordinated fashion with the operation of the targeted devices to be masked. The system may be configured to be applied to hinder or interfere with conventional Nonintrusive Load Monitoring.
