Abstract: An engine includes a piston movable in a cylinder and having a combustion bowl, and an annular rim forming a scoop extending axisymmetrically around a piston center axis. A fuel injector tip extends into the cylinder and includes a first orifice set and a second orifice set offset from one another and offset from the piston center axis. A plurality of orifice-rim distances are defined between orifices in the second orifice set and an annular rim of the piston. The orifices in the second orifice set having a range of orifice sizes varied in direct relation to the respective orifice-rim distances. Related methodology is also disclosed.

Abstract: A technique is directed to methods and systems for detecting the presence of a machine operator. In some implementations, an operator presence system monitors a machine to determine whether an operator is present in an operating machine. The operator presence system collects input data from sensors or devices on the machine and determines whether the operator is in the operator seat. During operation, if an operator is determined to not be in the operator seat, the operator presence system can generate and send notifications (e.g., visual or audible warnings) to alert the operator to sit in the operator seat.

Abstract: A device may determine, based on image data of an environment that includes a ground surface, depth information indicating distances from a vehicle to different areas of the ground surface. The device may generate, based on the depth information, an overlay to indicate a range of distances from the vehicle. The range of distances may be associated with an area. The device may provide, for display, a video feed including the image data with the overlay on the ground surface. The overlay may provide the perception of depth, with respect to the area, during an operation of the vehicle.
