  • Patent number: 9784156
    Abstract: Engine exhaust system for an internal combustion engine, the engine exhaust system comprising an exhaust conduit (14) connected to an engine (30), an exhaust gas return conduit (32,33) such that at least a part of the exhaust gas can be returned to the engine. The exhaust gas return conduit, at least along a part of its length, is formed with at least two flow paths (48,49). The engine exhaust system further comprises a particle filter arranged in each of the at least two flow paths and at least one cold flame vaporizer (11) in which fuel is partially oxidized in preheated air to form a cold flame gas. The at least one cold flame vaporizer is arranged in fluid communication with all the flow paths such that the cold flame gas can flow through the particle filters, whereby the cold flame gas can be used to regenerate the particle filter in at least one of the exhaust flow paths while, simultaneously, exhaust gas can flow through the other exhaust flow path or exhaust flow paths.

  • Patent number: 9648779
    Abstract: An electronic appliance of modem or analogous type has a fan and an internal casing channeling the air stream generated by the fan, and a plurality of processors fitted with radiators that are mounted in the appliance. The radiators are situated in register with different portions (PS, PI) of the cross-section of the channeled air stream so that the different radiators are cooled by different portions (PS, PI) of the air stream. The appliance applies to the field of home electronics.

  • Patent number: 5882456
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a tread strip with shoulder cover strips for a pneumatic vehicle tire includes the step of continuously extruding a shoulder cover strip and calendering the shoulder cover strip to a desired thickness. The thus thickness-reduced cover strip is then applied to the tread strip. The shoulder cover strip is then cut to length in order to match a circumferential length of the tread strip for building a tire.
