Abstract: A swirl mixer for mixing a reducing agent with exhaust gas in a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) aftertreatment system is described. The swirl mixer may comprise a base permitting a flow of the reducing agent and the exhaust gas therethrough, and three arrays of fins projecting from the base in a direction of flow of the exhaust gas. The three arrays of fins may be arranged in a triangular configuration about a center of the mixer to induce a swirl motion to the reducing agent and the exhaust gas flowing through the mixer. The fins in each of the arrays may be oriented in a common direction that is rotated by about 60° from the common direction of the fins in an adjacent array.

Abstract: An exhaust gas treatment device (1), for an exhaust system (1) of an internal combustion engine, includes a housing (2), providing an exhaust path (3), an injector (4) arranged on the housing (2) for introducing a reduction agent into an exhaust gas flow following the exhaust gas path (3), and a mixer (7) arranged in the housing (2). The mixer (7) includes a shell (8), which encloses a mixer cross section (10) through which the exhaust gas flow can flow. The mixer (7) includes multiple guide blades (11), which on a shell inside project from the shell (8) and project into the mixer cross section (10). A simplified producibility is obtained with the mixer (7) including multiple straps (13), on a shell outside (14), which project from the shell (8) and project into a strap opening (16) formed on the housing (2) and penetrate a housing wall (15).

Abstract: A biological fluid sample analysis cartridge is provided. The cartridge includes a housing, a fluid module, and an analysis chamber. The fluid module includes a sample acquisition port and an initial channel, and is connected to the housing. The initial channel is sized to draw fluid sample by capillary force, and is in fluid communication with the acquisition port. The initial channel is fixedly positioned relative to the acquisition port such that at least a portion of a fluid sample disposed within the acquisition port will draw into the initial channel. The analysis chamber is connected to the housing, and is in fluid communication with the initial channel.

Abstract: An aftertreatment system comprises a SCR system. A mixing assembly is positioned upstream of the SCR system and includes a housing defining a flow path for an exhaust gas. An injection port is defined on a first sidewall of the housing and oriented at a predetermined angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the flow path. A mixer is positioned within the flow path downstream of the injection port and includes a plurality of plates each positioned in the flow path. A first plate is positioned distal to the injection port and adjacent to a second sidewall of the housing opposite to the first sidewall. The first plate has a first length substantially longer than a length of the other plates and extends in a direction upstream of the mixer. An exhaust reductant injector is positioned on the first sidewall of the housing proximal to the injection port.
