  • Publication number: 20220147489
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program for enabling a user to edit and access local and remote objects via a virtual drive, including objects synchronized to a plurality of synchronization clients. A virtual drive is displayed on the user's local client device with all objects, which a user has synchronized to a synchronization server. A user is able to access and edit any object displayed in the virtual drive. In response to detecting a change in an object in the virtual drive, the object is updated on the synchronization server. All remote clients of the user or of any other users who have access to the changed folder are identified and notified of the change. In response to the change being a change to content within the folder, the content of the folder is automatically updated on any identified remote clients that have a corresponding folder.

  • Publication number: 20070056264
    Abstract: A system or method for controlling the delivery of fuel into the transient flow of an exhaust system to control emissions. A mathematical model representative of the exhaust system can be used to determine, based on operating conditions of the exhaust system, a rate of fuel delivery suitable for achieving a desired result. The desired result can be to increase the temperature of a diesel particulate filter to a temperature suitable for regeneration without exceeding a temperature that may damage the diesel particulate filter.

  • Publication number: 20060201326
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a pulse cleaner for cleaning a diesel exhaust treatment device. The pulse cleaner includes a cabinet, a diesel exhaust treatment device mount positioned within the cabinet for mounting the diesel exhaust treatment device during pulse cleaning, and a collection filter positioned within the cabinet for collecting material displaced from the diesel exhaust treatment device during cleaning. The pulse cleaner also includes a pulse generator for generating pulses that are each directed at a majority of a face of the diesel exhaust treatment device when the diesel exhaust treatment device is mounted at the diesel exhaust treatment device mount. The pulse generator includes a pressure tank for accumulating pressurized air, and a valve arrangement that flushes the pressurized air from the tank. A pulse of air for cleaning the diesel exhaust treatment device is generated each time the tank is flushed.

  • Publication number: 20060101810
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for dispensing fuel into the transient flow of an exhaust system to control exhaust emissions. A controller initiates the delivery of fuel into the exhaust when an emissions control device, such as a diesel particulate filter, requires increased exhaust temperatures for regeneration. In operation, pressurized fuel and pressurized air are supplied to a fuel delivery device, wherein a fuel injector pre-mixes fuel with air. The fuel-air mixture is then dispensed into the exhaust flow through a nozzle, causing a rapid pressure drop in the mixture that results in the pressurized air expanding rapidly, breaking the fuel spray into fine particles.

  • Publication number: 20050247051
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an engine exhaust treatment system (20) including a first exhaust gas path (24) having a diesel particulate filter (32) and a second exhaust gas path (26) having a catalytic converter (34). The system also includes a valve arrangement (36, 38), for controlling exhaust gas flow between the first and second paths (24, 26). The system (20) further includes a controller (40) for sensing/monitoring operating conditions of the engine (22) and the condition of the diesel particulate filter (32). The controller (40) shifts exhaust gas flow between the first and second paths (24, 26) based on the operating condition of the engine (22) and/or the condition of the diesel particulate filter (32) to optimize filtration efficiency while preventing unacceptable levels of backpressure and detrimental regeneration of the filter (32).
