Abstract:
A wheel shock absorbing apparatus includes: a hub, one or more bearings seated within the hub, and an axle. At least two outer end caps, each with an axle mounting hole and an offset inwardly opening cavity, enclose the ends of the hub. A springing element is positioned within each cavity in the end caps, and an inner body unit is located between the outer end caps. An actuation stud projects from the inner body unit into the cavities to contact the springing element. Fastening elements secure the outer end caps together on opposite side of the inner body unit. A pivot stud allows the respective outer end caps and inner body unit to pivot with respect to one another, which causes the actuation stud to contact the spring element, which absorbs shocks as the wheel travels over a surface during locomotion of a vehicle.
Abstract:
A fuel enhancement system and method for supplying an engine with a pressurized homogenized mixture of a liquid fuel and a gaseous component. In one embodiment the system comprises a controller; a gaseous component flow control device, a homogenization system, and a gas processor, in another embodiment, the system comprises a controller; a gaseous component flow control device, a device for generating signals indicative of liquid fuel flow, and a homogenization system. Particular embodiments of the gas processor and de vice for generating signals indicative of liquid fuel flow are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A homogenizing fuel enhancement system involves at least one circulation loop existing outside of the injection system for continuously circulating and maintaining the homogeneity of a multi- fuel mixture apart from any demands by or delivery to the engine's injection system (whether mechanical injection or a common rail), and at least one infusion tube configured within the at least one circulation loop for providing a volumetric expansion wherein the fuel mixture is infused and thereby rendered more homogeneous.
Abstract:
A fuel composition for use in an internal combustion engine comprising at least one liquid fuel and at least one gaseous fuel, the gaseous fuel having an effective solubility in the liquid fuel at twenty degrees Celsius and one atmosphere in the range of 0.0000001 g/kg to 0.0002 g/kg, wherein dispersion of the gaseous fuel within the liquid fuel before introduction of the fuel composition to the injection system of the engine is such that molecules of the liquid and gaseous fuels are substantially equidistant one from another, liquid from liquid and gas from gas, within a variance preferably of no more than one hundred percent (± 100%), more preferably of no more than fifty percent (± 50%), and most preferably of no more than twenty-five percent (± 25%), whereby the fuel composition is substantially homogeneous so as to promote the atomization of the liquid fuel and thus improve combustion.
Abstract:
A method and medium for performing subroutine return operations. Test operations (88, 90) are performed in parallel with other operations (92, 94) in a return operation (98) . These test operations (88, 90) and the return operations (96, 98) are performed in response to a single instruction (86) .
Abstract:
An improved multi-fuel supply and co-injection system and method for powering internal combustion and turbine engines, whereby various combinations of fuels, both liquid and gaseous, may be mixed together and fed into the system, under the real-time control of a microprocessor responding to a variety of sensors and acting on a variety of control devices, all working together in a manner designed to enhance the utilization of the thermal content of the various fuels, and in particular to enhance the combustion efficiency and increase the power output while decreasing the consumption of fuel, calculated both by quantity and by cost and whereby the liquid fuel lubricates the moving parts of the injection system.
Abstract:
A wheel shock absorbing apparatus (100) including: a hub (180), one or more bearings (182) seated within the hub, and an axle (170); at least two outer end caps (130), each having an axle mounting hole (132) and an offset inwardly-opening cavity (134); a springing element (110) positioned within each cavity; an inner body unit (105) between the outer end caps having an actuation stud (158) projecting into the cavities so as to contact the springing element; a pivot stud (136); and a means for fastening the outer end caps together opposite one another about the inner body unit. In use, the pivot stud allows the respective outer end caps and the inner body unit to pivot with respect to one another, causing the actuation stud to contact the at least one springing element so as to absorb shocks as the wheel travels over a surface during locomotion of the vehicle.
