  • Patent number: 12203403
    Abstract: Provided are catalyst articles, methods and systems for treating lean burn engine exhaust. Catalyst articles include selective catalytic reduction catalyst on a particulate filter. The SCR catalyst on the particulate filter provides limited NOx conversion so that unconverted NO2 is available to facilitate passive oxidation of soot trapped on the particulate filter by reaction with NO2. Systems and methods utilize such catalytic articles, and further include, e.g., a downstream selective catalytic reduction catalyst on a flow through substrate.

  • Publication number: 20240125149
    Abstract: An exemplary trim assembly comprises an escutcheon, a drive spindle, a lock mechanism, a cam mechanism, and a driver. The drive spindle is mounted to the escutcheon for rotation about a longitudinal axis. The lock mechanism includes a lock gear movably mounted in the escutcheon. The cam mechanism includes a first cam defined by the escutcheon and a second cam defined by the lock gear. The driver is operable to rotate the lock gear between a first rotational position and a second rotational position. The cam mechanism is configured to longitudinally drive the lock gear from a first longitudinal position to a second longitudinal position as the lock gear rotates from the first rotational position to the second rotational position. Movement of the lock gear between the first longitudinal position and the second longitudinal position transitions the lock mechanism between a locked state and an unlocked state.

  • Patent number: 11837372
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods for protecting a nuclear reactor core, such as a boiling water reactor core, from fuel and cladding damage due to thermal hydraulic instability in extended operating power flow conditions and, in particular, when an extended power uprate is implemented. The methods employ existing licensed stability methodologies and incorporated minor changes, e.g., to the Average Power Range Monitor (APRM)-based trip system to preclude operation inside the stability vulnerable region of the power/flow map. The APRM-based trip system is modified to set down the APRM flow-biased scram line when core flow is less than a predetermined core flow to prevent the core from entering an unstable region of operation.

  • Patent number: 11277475
    Abstract: A computing system for automatic discovery of a storage cluster. A computing system includes a discovery server, which receives a user-input including authentication credentials associated with a storage cluster. The discovery server executes a discovery pattern comprising a sequence of operations for a discovery of a set of resources associated with the storage cluster, based on the received user-input. One of the sequence of operations may correspond to transmission of a plurality of Application Programming Interface (API) calls to an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the storage cluster. The discovery server further receives a plurality of responses from the storage cluster. The plurality of responses includes information associated with the set of resources. The discovery server further generates a dependency map between the set of resources associated with the storage cluster based on the received information and outputs the generated dependency map.
