Abstract: The present invention explains a process for manufacturing tubeless vehicle wheel without welding using a hoop 100 having an outboard end 101, a centre region 102, an inboard end 103. The process includes spinning the outboard end 101 to obtain a disc region 202, spinning disc end 203 to obtain preform nave region 301. Forming the disc region 202 to obtain a disc profile 401 and a nave region 403, forming the centre region 102, inboard end 103 to obtain a straight rim profile 402. Spinning and forming outer end 405 of the straight rim profile 402 to obtain an outboard flange 502a and spinning the straight rim profile 402 to obtain a concave rim profile 601a with a preform inboard flange 602a. Spinning the concave rim profile 601a to obtain bead seats 701a, well region 703a and, forming the preform inboard flange 602a to obtain an inboard flange 704a.

Abstract: A power system includes a natural gas engine, a first turbine receiving an exhaust from the engine, and a second turbine having an inlet fluidly connected to an outlet of the first turbine. The power system also includes a compressor driven by the first turbine. The compressor has an outlet fluidly connected to the engine. The power system further includes a bypass system directing a fluid from the outlet of the compressor to the inlet of the second turbine.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes a combustion chamber at least partially defined within a cylinder bore by a reciprocating piston having a piston crown. An intake plenum is fluidly connectable with the combustion chamber and at least one intake port is configured to fluidly connect the intake plenum with the combustion chamber. At least one intake valve is configured to selectively fluidly connect the intake plenum with the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber is configured to receive a lean air/fuel mixture therein to substantially fill the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber is further configured to receive a rich air/fuel mixture therein that yields a stratified total air/fuel mixture within the combustion chamber.

Abstract: An engine system is disclosed. The engine system may have an engine configured to receive air and a gaseous fuel, and combust a mixture of the air and gaseous fuel to generate a power output and a flow of exhaust. The engine system may also have at least one power turbine driven by the flow of exhaust to compound the power output of the engine. The engine may employ the Miller Cycle during compounding by the at least one power turbine.
