Title: Internal combustion engine fuel control system
Inventor: KOLMANOVSKY ILYA V
IPC: F01N13/02
Filed: 2001-04-30
Abstract: A fuel control system for an internal combustion engine in which a three-way catalytic converter and a lean NO<SB>x</SB> trap are located in series on the exhaust side of the engine, the engine including a fuel vapour storage canister located between the engine intake manifold and the engine fuel tank. A fuel injector distributes fuel directly to the combustion chamber, and a throttle-controlled air intake communicates with the engine intake manifold whereby stratified combustion of the air/fuel mixture in the intake manifold occurs. Air/fuel vapour delivered from the canister to the intake manifold results in the development of excess hydrocarbons in the exhaust gases when needed to raise the temperature in the lean NO<SB>x</SB> trap, which results in improved operating efficiency of the lean NO<SB>x</SB> trap.

Patent GB-2393439-A (GB)
Title: Gluten biolpolymer articles
Inventor: WOERDEMAN DARA
IPC: B27N3/04
Filed: 2002-09-26
Abstract: A modified gluten biopolymer for use in industrial applications, such as composites and foams. The fracture toughness of the gluten polymer was improved by a factor of ten or more with the addition of preferably less than 1% (w/w) of a tri-thiol-terminated modifying agent. The toughening agent has the potential to bond chemically with the gluten biopolymer via sulphydryl/disulphide exchange reactions, giving rise to a potentially more stable material. In addition, the process does not require the addition of other solubilizing agents, such as reducing agents or salts, to obtain a homogeneous dispersion. This work also resulted in the development of a gluten biopolymer-modified flax fiber bundle, demonstrating the potential to process fully biodegradable composite materials. Qualitative analysis suggests that a reasonably strong interface between the natural fibers and biopolymer matrix can form spontaneously under the proper conditions.
