Abstract: A component of an internal combustion engine with anti-fouling (e.g., anti-coking) properties, said component comprising a metal surface; a plasma deposition formed layer comprising silicon, oxygen, and hydrogen on at least a portion of said metal surface; and an anti-fouling coating, of an at least partially fluorinated composition comprising at least one silane group, on at least a portion of a surface of said layer.

Abstract: A nozzle (100) comprising an inlet face (12) on an inlet side, an outlet face (12) on an outlet side, a thickness between said inlet face and said outlet face, and a swirl chamber (20) located within said thickness, with said swirl chamber comprising a bottom surface (22) and an outer side wall (28) extending from said bottom surface toward said outlet side so as to form an outer periphery of an outlet opening (24) of said swirl chamber on said outlet face, and at least one feeder through-hole (30) having an inlet opening (32) on said inlet face and an outlet opening that opens into said swirl chamber so as to direct a fluid, flowing through said at least one feeder through-hole, to flow around a central axis (11) of said swirl chamber, along said outer side wall and within said swirl chamber.

Abstract: Methods for management of a powertrain system in a vehicle. The methods receive data or signals from multiple sensors associated with the vehicle. Optimum thresholds for classifications of the sensor data can be changed based injecting signals into the powertrain system and receiving responsive signals. Expected priorities for the sensor signals can be altered based upon attributes of the signals and confirming actual priorities for the signals. Look-up tables for engine management can be modified based upon injecting signals into the powertrain system and measuring a utility of the responsive signals. The methods can thus dynamically alter and modify data for powertrain management, such as look-up tables, during vehicle operation under a wide range of conditions.
