摘要:
An improved cold climate air-source heat pump comprising at least a primary compressor, a booster compressor, a first heat exchanger associated with an indoor environment and a second heat exchanger associated with an outdoor environment and with one heat exchanger acting as an evaporator and the other heat exchanger acting as a condenser, an expansion device, flow conduit means for circulating a refrigerant fluid in a closed loop, a first sensor means for sensing the temperature of the internal ambient air, a second sensor means for sensing the temperature of the external ambient air, a third sensor means for sensing the temperature of the refrigerant fluid flowing between the booster compressor and the primary compressor, a fourth sensor means for sensing the operative state of the primary compressor, a primary compressor operation control means responsive to inputs from the first sensor means, and a booster compressor operation control means responsive to inputs from the second, third, and fourth sensor means. The booster compressor operation control means is configured to initiate and shut down operation of the booster compressor based on inputs from the various sensor means, to ensure safe operation of the system and improved durability of the air-source heart pump.
摘要:
A method and system for scheduling a callback time for customer service. The system calculates estimated handling resources for a customer interaction system (14) and forecasts a customer service transaction workload for the estimated handling resources of the customer interaction system (14). The system then determines the scheduled callback time based upon the estimated handling resources and the forecasted customer service transaction workload.
摘要:
Method and systems are provided for controlling a vehicle system including an engine that is selectively deactivated during engine idle-stop conditions. One example method comprises, adjusting a brake torque applied to a deactivated rotating engine after an engine restart request, the brake torque applied to slow the engine to at least a predetermined threshold speed without stopping the engine, and engaging a starter to the still rotating engine to increase the engine speed and restart the engine.
摘要:
The subject matter disclosed herein provides a flea vacuum. The device may include a nozzle having a first opening and a second opening. The first opening may have a tapered end and may be configured to vacuum an insect (e.g., a flea, etc). The device may also include a hose coupled to the nozzle. The device may also include an adapter coupled to the hose. The adapter may have an end configured for insertion into a vacuum. The device may also include a kill agent comprising bentonite as the active ingredient for killing and/or neutralizing pests, such as for example fleas. Related apparatus and methods are also described.

摘要:
A system for an engine of a vehicle traveling on the road, the system comprising a cylinder of the engine; an emission control device coupled in an exhaust downstream of the cylinder; a first injector configured to directly inject into the cylinder and coupled in a cylinder of the engine; a second injector configured to inject into a port of the cylinder and coupled to a port of the cylinder; and a controller for, in response to a driver pedal tip-in condition, increasing an amount of injection from the first injector.
摘要:
A method for controlling cylinder air charge of an engine having a compressor is presented. In one example, the description includes a method for coordinating the control of the throttle, turbo charger, and valves such that the desired cylinder air charge may be achieved while engine pumping work may be decreased.
摘要:
A method for controlling valves during an engine stop is presented. The valves are controlled in a manner that can quiet the engine during a stop. In addition, the valves may be selectively controlled to direct the contents of the cylinder in a desired direction so that engine emissions may be reduced.
摘要:
A method for controlling stopping and starting of an engine having a variable event valvetrain is described. According to the method engine valves may be used to reduce engine evaporative emissions as well as engine starting emissions.
摘要:
A system and method to control engine valve operation in an internal combustion engine. Valves are controlled to improve vehicle drivability and reduce vehicle noise.
