Abstract: A fuel injection supply system includes an intensifier cylinder having an intensifier piston configured to pressurize fuel in an intensifier chamber of the cylinder during a pressurizing stroke, and further configured to draw fuel into the intensifier chamber during a recharge stroke. A fuel rail receives pressurized fuel from the intensifier chamber, and supplies the fuel to a plurality of fuel injectors. A control unit controls switching of the intensifier piston between a pressurizing stroke and a recharge stroke, controlling recharge strokes of the piston to occur between two consecutive injection events of the plurality of fuel injectors. The common fuel rail may be hydraulically locked except during injection events of any of the plurality of fuel injectors, or during a recharge stroke of the piston. The intensifier piston may be controlled to perform a recharge stroke once during each engine cycle, or more than once during each engine cycle.

Abstract: The invention is directed toward methods for operating a series hybrid vehicle in a manner that responds to the operator's demand for power output, while maximizing engine efficiency and minimizing disruptions in vehicle drivability. According to principles of the present invention, when the driver of a series hybrid vehicle makes a demand for power output, whether the secondary power source(s) is supplied with secondary energy stored in an energy storage device(s), direct input energy generated by an engine(s), or both, depends on the amount of available secondary energy stored in the vehicle's secondary storage device(s) alone, and in combination with vehicle speed. During the time that the engine is used to generate secondary energy, the power efficiency level at which the engine is operated also depends on the vehicle speed and the amount of available secondary energy stored in the vehicle's secondary storage device alone, and in combination with vehicle speed. Further, in some embodiments, when the engine is not generating secondary energy, the engine is selectively turned off or idled in response to various operating conditions.

Abstract: The present invention provides in situ hybridization probes which include a marker and a nucleic acid molecule able to hybridize exclusively with only one species of Encephalitozoon. The nucleic acid molecule may be, for example, complimentary to segment 878-896 of 16S rRNA of Encephalitozoon hellem spores. Specifically disclosed probes are those including the following nucleotides: (1) 5′-ACT CTC ACA CTC ACT TCA G-3′ (Seq. I.D. No. 1) which is species specific for Encephalitozoon hellem, (2) 5′-CAG ACC ACT ATC TGC A-3′ (Seq. I.D. No. 2) which is species specific for Encephalitozoon cuniculi and (3) 5′-GTT CTC CTG CCC GCT TCA G-3′ (Seq. I.D. No. 3) which is species specific for Encephalitozoon intestinalis. The assay of the present invention utilizes a sample such as surface, ground or drinking water, suspected of containing one of the aforementioned species as a target organism. The microorganisms contained in the sample are fixed in a conventional manner and the probe is then introduced wherein it specifically binds with the target microorganism, if present. The sample is then washed to remove the unbound probe and the bound probe is detected in a conventional manner appropriate for the marker molecule of the probe.
