Christian Goralski, Jr. - St. Paul MN, US

Assignee:

Ford Global Technologies, LLC - Dearborn MI

International Classification:

F01N 3/10

US Classification:

60301, 60274, 60285, 60297, 4232132, 4232135, 422171, 422177, 502252, 502261, 502324, 502325

Abstract:

The present invention provides a method of removing harmful gases from an automobile exhaust. The method of the invention comprises contacting a thermally stable NOtrap composition with a first exhaust gas mixture at a temperature of at least 200 C. The first exhaust gas mixture includes exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine operating in a fuel-lean condition. After, NOhas been absorbed onto the NOabsorber material, the NOtrap composition is then contacted with a second exhaust gas composition. In this step, the second exhaust gas mixture includes exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine operating in a fuel-rich condition. The present invention also provides the NOtrap composition used in the method. The NOtrap of the invention includes a precious metal, a NOabsorber material, an oxide that inhibits the decrease in NOstoring ability of the NOtrap composition, and a support material.

International Classification:

F21V 7/04

US Classification:

362555, 362326, 362307, 362296, 362327

Abstract:

A LED bulb and light module utilizes a LED light source and directs light therefrom in a manner which improves efficiency and illumination. Ideally, the LED bulb is structured to create a virtual image whereby the efficiency of light directed out of the module is greatly improved, even with a single LED light source.

Abstract:

A LED bulb and light module utilizes a LED light source and directs light therefrom in a manner which improves efficiency and illumination. Ideally, the LED bulb is structured to create a virtual image whereby the efficiency of light directed out of the module is greatly improved, even with a single LED light source. The LED bulb generally includes a light pipe receiving light from the LED light source and guides the light downstream to a downstream portion which redirects the light radially outwardly.

US Classification:

362336, 362334, 362520, 362509, 362521

Abstract:

A light assembly is provided having a lens assembly that splits the function of a near field lens into two components, thereby permitting a manufacturable lens that achieves the desired beam size and intensity. At the same time, increased flexibility and control over the beam spread characteristics is achieved. The first component is an inner lens, while the second component may be a reflector or a second lens.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707 3, 707 6

Abstract:

The subject application relates to a system(s) and/or methodology that facilitate filtering any set of items in a quick and efficient manner including messages and optionally calendar, notes, and task items. More specifically, as a filter string (input) is entered, it can be immediately compared to properties associated with a selected set of items to filter. As a result, the set of items can be dynamically filtered based on the input entered according to a one-to-one match of the filter string with any selected item or message property. Message properties can include sender, subject, and body of a message. Any items that match the input can be presented to the user in the form of a list. As additional input is entered, the list may dynamically change as more input or less input is received. Thus, any items that match the input appear on the list.
