    Abstract: The invention provides a device for testing internal pressure of a hollow sports ball; the device comprising:



    (i) a main body (2);
    (ii) a removable cap (4); the main body (2) and cap (4) each being provided with mutually engaging formations (12, 14) that enable the main body (2) and cap (4) to be removably secured together by a twisting movement;
    (iii) a load cell (46) and associated electronic circuitry for processing an output from the load cell (46); and
    (iv) an electronic display (41) linked to the electronic circuitry for displaying an indicator of the internal pressure of the ball;
    the main body having an interior void which, together with the removable cap, forms an enclosed ball-receiving chamber for receiving the ball;
    the interior void of the main body being provided at an inner end thereof with a seat (44) on which the ball can sit, the load cell (46) being disposed beneath the seat (44); and the associated electronic circuitry optionally being disposed below the pressure sensor;
    whereby the ball-receiving chamber is configured such that when the ball is in place in the chamber, the securing together of the main body and cap brings the main body and cap together in an axial direction to compress the ball and apply a pressure through the ball to the load cell, and a force signal sent from the load cell to the associated electronic circuitry is processed to enable the indicator of the internal pressure of the ball to be displayed.

    Abstract: A method of operating an engine comprises introducing into a cylinder volume a non-compression-combustible fuel, such as natural gas, a compression-combustible fuel, such as diesel, and an oxidant and mixing the components for greater than about 275 microseconds, prior to compression combusting the compression-combustible fuel. The mixing may be done such that the two fuels are at least partially homogenized in the cylinder volume. By mixing, or premixing, the two fuels prior to combustion, the compression-combustible fuel is then simultaneously combusted via compression at multiple ignition points in the volume. The second, non-compression-combustible fuel is ignited in response to the combustion of the first fuel. An engine that enables the various methods is also disclosed.
