    Abstract: Turbochargers include a compressor comprising a compressor body extending from a compressor back face and a plurality of blades extending from the compressor body, a turbine comprising a turbine body extending from a turbine back face and a plurality of blades extending from the turbine body, and a shaft coupled at a first end to the compressor back face and at a second end to the turbine back face. The shaft includes an internal passage extending from the first end towards the second end in fluid communication with the compressor blades and one or more fans disposed within the internal passage and configured to draw air toward the second end of the shaft. The internal passage of the shaft is in fluid communication with the compressor blades via one or more bleed air passages, which can be biased towards an outer diameter of the compressor body.

    Abstract: An integrally formed piston has a crown portion having an upper crown surface and an undercrown surface. A ring belt extends from the undercrown surface at a periphery thereof. The ring belt includes an uppermost ring land and at least one oil galley contoured to extend around at least two surfaces of the uppermost ring land. The oil galley has an opening at the undercrown surface for receiving a cooling fluid therein for cooling the uppermost ring land. A skirt extends from the undercrown surface and the ring belt and has a plurality of stiffening features arranged in a truss formation. At least one of the plurality of stiffening features has an I-beam cross-section and another of the plurality of stiffening features has a negative draft angle.
