Assignee:

SIS Power, Inc. - Kirkland WA

International Classification:

F02B 47/02

US Classification:

123 25B, 123 25 P

Abstract:

Device, systems and methods for introducing water into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, incorporating an injector and a heater, are shown and described. The injector is configured to inject water at a pulse rate and frequency controlled by various engine performance readings, and the heater configured to convert the water into steam on demand, and to route the steam into the air stream flowing toward the combustion cylinder. In certain embodiments, the heater is positioned to provide steam to the cylinder before the temperature of the steam changes significantly. In other embodiments, the heater is configured to convert to steam a flow of water equal to or less than the amount of fuel burned by the engine during the same time period.

US Classification:

12302500J, 12302500L, 12302500K, 12302500M

Abstract:

A water injection control system includes a control unit adapted to receive one or more of a plurality of sensor signals from sensors provided as standard equipment in a vehicle, and to provide one or more control signals configured to control the operation of a water injection system associated with an engine of the vehicle. The received sensor signals may include signals from sensors such as an Osensor, an engine coolant temperature sensor, a mass air flow sensor, a manifold absolute pressure sensor, a crankshaft position sensor, a vehicle speed sensor, an intake air temperature sensor, and a throttle position sensor. The control signals provided by the controller may include signals for controlling functions such as water injector pulse rate and pulse width, water pump operation, water heater power, dashboard indicators, and PCU Osensor input.

International Classification:

A45F 308

US Classification:

224 8R

Abstract:

A backpack is disclosed having a sack including a stowage compartment and a frame holding compartment comprising an envelope having a front wall positionable against the wearer's back. A flexible unitary frame is positionable within the frame receiving envelope, under compression, and longitudinally tensions the front wall of the envelope. The unitary frame includes curved end portions interconnected by a pair of inwardly bowed, generally C-shaped side portions. The curved end frame portions fit the like curved closed end portions of the frame receiving envelope. The flexible frame is arcuate longitudinally and has a concave intermediate portion thus allowing inward movement of the tensioned front wall when contacted by the back of the wearer. Movement of the tensioned front wall causes the backpack to "hug" or closely fit the curvature of the wearer's back and thus moves the center of gravity of the backpack closer to the wearer's back to improve backpack balance. The portion of the front wall in contact with the wearer's back is formed from an open weave mesh allowing air to circulate over the back of the wearer.

International Classification:

A45F 310

US Classification:

224 25A

Abstract:

A plastic tubular pack frame is disclosed employing a unitary main frame member and uniquel y constructed transverse support members including a pair of tee connectors interconnected by a tubular cross member. In one embodiment, a transverse support member is formed by heating a section of plastic tubing, placing the ends of the tubing on the pin portions of tee connectors and allowing tubing to cool and shrink onto the pins. The pin portions of the tee connectors include a series of circumferentially and axially extending ribs which engage the internal walls of the box ends of the cross member forming a connection normally fixed against axial disconnection and normally fixed against rotation but rotatable without fracture in response to above normal rotational torques.
