Abstract: A system to cool exhaust gas entering a catalytic converter in a turbocharged engine is disclosed. An air bypass valve is controlled to vent pressurized air to the atmosphere to overrev a turbocharger when exhaust gas exceeds a predetermined temperature. The rotation of the turbocharger increases to maintain a desired boost pressure. When this occurs, the turbocharger absorbs more energy from the exhaust gas to maintain the desired boost pressure. Thus, the exhaust gas entering the catalytic converter is cooled.

Abstract: A control system for a variable pitch radiator fan is disclosed. The control system is capable of varying the blade pitch of the radiator fan from a normal position to a full reverse position. The control system can change the blade pitch based on a number of factors, including vehicle speed. In systems with a plurality of fans, the control system is also capable of independently controlling the blade pitch of each of the fans. In systems with multiple fans, the control system can produce a circulation mode.

Abstract: An assembly for changing the pitch of fan blades rotatably attached to a hub includes a main drive shaft configured to rotate the hub. The main drive shaft is rotated by a first motor. A secondary drive shaft is coupled to the main drive shaft via a gearing system located within the hub. The secondary drive shaft is also driven by a second motor. When driven by the second motor, the secondary drive shaft manipulates the gearing system to alter the pitch of the fan blades.

Abstract: A tilt switch is made by attaching two electrically conductive members to a nonconducting tube and disposing a conductive sphere within the switch. The first and second electrically conductive members are provided with inner cylindrical surfaces of different diameters in order to create an asymmetry that allows the angular conducting range of the switch to be increased without increasing its differential angle at one limit of travel. The first and second electrically conductive members that are used as the end caps of the switch are provided with inner cylindrical surfaces of different diameters. When the conductive sphere is disposed within the switch, it can assume three different positions in relation to the first and second electrically conductive members. A first position is defined by the sphere being in contact with both electrically conductive members and supported by contact points of both members. The second position is defined by the sphere being in contact with a first contact point but in noncontact relation with a second contact point. The third position is defined by the sphere being in contact with the second contact point but being in noncontact relation with the first contact point.
