<title><![CDATA[Exhaust gas purifying apparatus for internal combustion engine]]></title>
<link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7614219.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[An exhaust gas purifying apparatus for an internal combustion engine includes a collector, which collects exhaust particles in exhaust gas. The apparatus computes a pressure-difference-based measured value of a collected amount of the particles based on a pressure difference, and computes a pressure-difference-based estimated value by correcting the measured value. The apparatus computes an operational-state-based estimated value of the collected amount. The apparatus regenerates the collector by burning the exhaust particles when one of the pressure-difference-based estimated value and the operational-state-based estimated value reaches a predetermined value. The apparatus computes a current pressure-difference-based estimated value by correcting a current pressure-difference-based measured value based on information related to an immediately preceding operational-state-based computing period such that the current pressure-difference-based estimated value ranges from the current measured value to a previous pressure-difference-based estimated value.]]></description>

<link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7614220.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[The invention relates to a procedure for controlling the reducing agent in an exhaust gas post-processing system of a combustion machine with an exhaust gas duct, in which an SCR catalytic converter is provided in the direction of flow of the exhaust, wherein a reducing agent generation system has an NO x  and CO/H 2  generation unit,, an oxidation catalytic converter and a combined NO x  storage / ammonia generation unit in the standard gas route of the reducing agent generation system, and, in order to reduce nitrogen oxide, ammonia is added as a reducing agent in front of the SCR catalytic converter by the reducing agent generation system, wherein source materials for the generation of ammonia are at least intermittently added to the NO x  and CO/H 2  generation unit via a fuel supply line and via an air supply line, wherein during the fat phase the air/fuel composition is changed in front of the oxidation catalytic converter in the form of a lambda modulation for a lambda value. It can thus be achieved that, in pulse mode, a high H 2 /CO yield can be achieved with a simultaneously low HC slip and the higher HC penetrations associated with the natural aging of the catalytic converter and the decreasing H 2 /CO yields are compensated. Influences resulting from the reactor geometry of the oxidation catalytic converter can be influences or compensated with the procedure in terms of its drive-away characteristic.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Exhaust purification device and an exhaust purification method of an internal combustion engine]]></title>

<description><![CDATA[An exhaust system for an internal combustion engine includes a catalytic device within an exhaust path of the engine, wherein the catalytic device includes a housing with a catalyst carrier. A length of the catalyst carrier along a longitudinal axis, measured along a downstream flow direction of exhaust gas within the exhaust path, is substantially the same or a shorter than the upstream distance traveled by a reverse flow of exhaust gas during an exhaust gas pulsation within the housing. With this type of configuration, due to reciprocating movements of the exhaust gas caused by the pulsations, the same exhaust gas passes through the catalyst carrier multiple times. Thus, an increased number of heat exchanges take place within the catalyst carrier, which rapidly increases the catalyst temperature after a cold engine start.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A gas sensor diagnostic method includes: a fuel supply detecting step of detecting an interruption of a fuel supply to the internal combustion engine, and a restart of the fuel supply after the interruption of the fuel supply; a response time period accumulating step of determining a response time period by accumulating a first time period that the sensor output value reaches from a first threshold value to a second threshold value after the detection of the interruption of the fuel supply, and a second time period that the sensor output value reaches from a third threshold value to a fourth threshold value after the detection of the restart of the fuel supply after the interruption of the fuel supply; and an abnormal state diagnosing section of determining an abnormal state of the gas sensor when the response time period is greater than a predetermined time period.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This invention relates in general to a guard(s)/cap(s) and/or screen(s) apparatus (single and/or multiple formation) for the nacelle/air inlet for numerous jets, turbojet, turboprop and turboshaft engines—(Helicopters and other VTOL/VSTOL aircraft) such as power plants or the like. This apparatus contains the rotational system(s) as well as the engine shaft attached apparatus and/or pole that allows the mechanism to function by auto induced movement, without limiting engine thrust. Additional security measures have been introduced to the guard(s)/cap(s) and/or screen(s) apparatus, which includes a centrifuge chamber/manifold for particle collector without limiting engine thrust.]]></description>
