Filed:

Feb 5, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/366130

Inventors:

Cheryl J Stark - Canton MI, US
James M Dixon - Commerce Township MI, US
Scott R Gordon - Ann Arbor MI, US
Michael Christopher Luckham - Highland MI, US

International Classification:

G01F 19/00

US Classification:

73 173, 73307

Abstract:

A sensor diagnostic system comprises first, second, and third dosing agent sensors and a control module. The first, second, and third dosing agent sensors indicate whether a dosing agent is present at first, second, and third volumetric levels of a dosing agent tank, respectively. The second volumetric level is greater than the first volumetric level and the third volumetric level is greater than the second volumetric level. The control module selectively diagnoses a sensor fault in at least one of the first, second, and third dosing agent sensors based on the indications of the first, second, and third dosing agent sensors.

International Classification:

F01N 3/00

US Classification:

60295, 60301

Abstract:

An exhaust diagnostic system includes a selective catalyst reduction (SCR) efficiency testing module that determines an efficiency of a SCR catalyst. An exhaust gas temperature management module selectively adjusts a temperature of the SCR catalyst to a predetermined temperature range using intrusive exhaust gas temperature management. A test enabling module initiates an SCR efficiency test using the SCR efficiency module after failing a prior SCR efficiency test and while the temperature of the SCR catalyst is within the predetermined temperature range.

International Classification:

F01N 9/00
F01N 3/20
F01N 11/00

US Classification:

60274, 60277

Abstract:

A method and control system for a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalytic converter and an ammonia dosing module that stores ammonia in a selective catalyst reducing (SCR) catalyst and that depletes the ammonia level by discontinuing or reducing dosing. The control system also includes an SCR conversion efficiency module that determines an SCR efficiency. An SCR efficiency comparison module compares the SCR efficiency to an efficiency threshold and generates a fault indicator when the SCR efficiency is not above the efficiency threshold.

F01N 3/18

US Classification:

60274, 60287, 60285

Abstract:

A method and system for determining conversion of NO to NOin an engine exhaust stream by an oxidation catalyst during operation of the engine is disclosed based on injecting hydrocarbon fuel into the exhaust stream upstream of the oxidation catalyst, measuring a temperature of the exhaust stream on the upstream and downstream sides of the oxidation catalyst, calculating a difference in exhaust stream temperature between the upstream and downstream sides of the oxidation catalyst, and determining the conversion of NO to NOby the oxidation catalyst from the difference in exhaust stream temperature based on a predetermined correlation profile between the temperatures on the upstream and downstream sides of the oxidation catalyst and conversion of NO to NO.

Zachary T. Pawson - Deerfield MI, US

International Classification:

G01P 3/66

Abstract:

A sensor for measuring displacement and time comprises a hollow body including a longitudinal axis. The hollow body comprises a wall including an inner surface and an outer surface, and a pathway defined by the inner surface. The sensor further comprises a solid body including an outer surface, the solid body configured to be received by the hollow body and travel through the pathway. The sensor further comprises a plurality of frangible wires, where each wire of the plurality of wires extends through a first opening in the wall, across the pathway, and through a second opening in the wall, and each wire is spaced apart by a distance in a direction generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the hollow body.

Abstract:

A modular cart for use with an anthropomorphic test device, an assembly including an anthropomorphic test device and a method of placing an anthropomorphic test device on a modular cart. The cart includes a wheeled base with a pair of upstanding posts that together with members that can be interchangeably secured to one of the posts in order to form one of a storage position or a ready-to-test position. In this way, when an anthropomorphic test device is placed on the cart between these members, the members and the posts cooperate with one another to have the anthropomorphic test device be in a generally seating position that can accommodate both storage and testing without having to reposition the anthropomorphic test device.

Abstract:

Described herein is the design and construction of a class of lipoprotein targeting protease inhibitors. Small peptides with protease inhibitor activity are conjugated to hydrophobic, lipoprotein targeting molecules using, for instance, amine reactive chemistry. Methods of use of the resultant lipoprotein targeting protease inhibitor (antiprotease) molecules are also described. Also described is the production and use of protease inhibitor enriched HDL particles, as well as A1AT-peptide-enriched HDL particles, and their use in various therapeutic contexts.
