Abstract: Portable heating systems for certain applications cannot use flame-type heating devices but will accept heaters based on reclaiming heat from diesel engines.  These systems are designed for heating water or air used in these special zones.  Other inventors have devised various ways to convert the mechanical shaft power of the engine to heat The heating energy then, is the sum of the scavenged heat from the engine plus the conversion of mechanical power to heat.   My invention utilizes a common electrical generator to convert mechanical shaft power to electric power, which is in turn converted to heat.

Abstract: A localized corrosion monitoring (LCM) device is modified to obtain polarization resistance (R p) from electrical resistance of a probe having a strip of metal under investigation (test electrode), a reference electrode and a temperature sensor (e.g. thermocouple). This configuration allows the probe to be used in areas where only a thin film of conductive fluid is available or required to provide potential monitoring. Thus, the applicability of the LCM technique is broadened. All the above devices are expected to be configured in one item of equipment, except for the probe which may be remotely located from the rest of the equipment.

IPC: B60R13/08

Abstract: An improved heat shield offers thermal insulation and reduced noise transmission for vehicular engine components, including exhaust manifolds. The structure has three layers: an outer structural metal layer, a center insulation layer to isolate heat and dampen noise, and an inner metal layer directly adjacent the shielded component for reflecting heat back to the shielded component. As disclosed, the shield has at least one edge portion defined by outwardly flared undulations or waves.  The waved edge minimizes impact of plastic deformation of the metal edges during manufacture of the shield, which tends to produce wrinkling at the edges, and creates undesirable stiffness. Finally, the edge boundary of the outer metal heat shield layer is folded over the edges of the insulation and inner metal layers to avoid any sharp edges, thus preventing injury to installers and reinforcing the heat shield structure to enhance useful life under vibration and heat conditions.
