摘要： An evaporative emissions filter for an engine air induction system. The evaporative emissions filter includes a hydrocarbon vapor-adsorbent member disposed within the air induction system. A mechanism is provided for mounting the evaporative emissions filter within the air induction system. Hydrocarbon vapors present in the air induction system after engine shut-down are substantially retained in the adsorbent member until air flows through the air induction system after the engine starts.

摘要： An oil-conditioning filter, for use with an internal combustion engine, includes a mechanical filter element and a central additive cartridge, for gradually dispensing an oil additive over time. The additive cartridge has a beneficial oil-conditioning agent contained therein. The additive may be provided as a solid block within a storage chamber of the cartridge, or may be a plurality of pellets. Central placement of the cartridge allows for fluid filtration through the mechanical filter element before the additive is added thereto, reducing the likelihood that the additive will be filtered out prematurely upon its initial release. An additive cartridge for installation in an oil filter is also described, including a baffle portion and a storage chamber. Alternative exemplary embodiments of the additive cartridge may include a cylindrical shell, a basket which is operatively attached to an oil filter center tube, or a porous center tube.

摘要： A spark plug includes a metal shell, an insulator coaxially disposed within the metal shell, and a center electrode coaxially disposed in the insulator. The metal shell has a substantially cylindrical base portion, and the base portion has a lower surface with a recess formed therein. A bimetallic ground electrode is affixed to the lower surface of the base portion at the recess thereof. The ground electrode has a central core formed of a first thermally conductive metal which may include copper, and an external sheath surrounding the core, the sheath being made of a second metal which includes nickel. The recess in the lower surface of the metal shell is preferred to be provided as an annular grove extending therearound. The present invention also encompasses a method of making a spark plug, including a step of placing a ground electrode adjacent a lower surface of a spark plug shell, aligned with a recess thereof, such that a tip end of the ground electrode enters into the recess. Another step in the method involves welding the ground electrode to the spark plug shell.

摘要： A fuel filter for removing fuel impurities, particularly thiophenes, includes a hollow housing having a filter element therein. The filter element includes a substrate, which may include a nonwoven fiber web, a plurality of particles, or both of these. Where particles are used, the substrate may be homogeneous or may be a mixture of different particles. The substrate may include a sorbent selected from the group consisting of metals, metal oxides, metallic salts, organometallic compounds, catalysts, and oxidizing agents. Optionally, a sulfur-treating reactant may be operatively associated with the substrate to reduce the concentration of thiophenes in fuel passing through the filter.
