Methods and systems are provided for exhaust catalyst temperature control by metering exhaust bypass flow from a dedicated EGR cylinder. A continuously variable bypass valve may be adjusted to vary an amount of exhaust directed to an exhaust catalyst from a dedicated EGR cylinder via a bypass passage relative to exhaust recirculated to the engine intake via an EGR passage. At lower catalyst temperatures, more exhaust is metered via the bypass passage to enable catalyst temperature to be maintained above an activation level.

A cast piston, for an internal combustion engine or pump has an integral coolant ring gallery, with localized extensions, to achieve a coolant interchange with the gallery upon piston reciprocation. At least a portion of an extension lies generally parallel to the longitudinal piston axis and towards an upper end of the piston adjacent the working fluid. This provides an attendant increase in surface area exposed to coolant allowing either a decrease in operational piston temperature or an increase in allowable heat flow into the piston from a working fluid.

An anemometer and method for analyzing fluid flow is described. In one embodiment, a transistor sensor is heated by applying power to cause its base-emitter junction to rise from an ambient first temperature to a second temperature. The power is removed, and the Vbe is measured at intervals as the junction cools. The Vbe equates to a temperature of the junction. The temperature exponentially decreases, and the time constant of the decay corresponds to the fluid flow velocity. A best fit curve analysis is performed on the temperature decay curve, and the time constant of the exponential decay is derived by a data processor. A transfer function correlates the time constant to the fluid flow velocity. The transistor is thermally coupled to a metal rod heat sink extending from the package, and the characteristics of the rod are controlled to adjust the performance of the anemometer.

A sensor having a temperature dependent resistor mounted within a protective housing. The resistor is connected to external circuitry via a pair of connecting wires. In use, variations in temperature of the exhaust gas cause a variation in the temperature experienced by the resistor and consequently, the resistance of the resistor also varies. The resistor is mounted in a projecting end portion of the housing which is of narrower cross-section than the bulk of the housing. The housing is filled with a filler material. The filler material provides support to the resistor and the wires. In the present invention, unlike in prior art sensors, the filler material does not completely fill the housing. Instead a gap is provided which is crossed by the wires. The gap interrupts heat flow through the filler material and thus improves the thermal isolation of the resistor and thereby the accuracy of the sensor. In an alternative embodiment, the sensor additionally comprises an additional heat exchange element. The provision of the additional heat exchange element improves the flow of heat from the exhaust gas to the resistor, thus providing a faster response when the temperature rapidly changes and higher measurement accuracy.

One or more of three different measures are taken to preheat a wafer before it is loaded into direct contact with a wafer holder, in order to provide optimal throughput while reducing the risk of thermal shock to the wafer. The first measure is to move the wafer holder to a raised position prior to inserting the wafer into the reaction chamber and holding the wafer above the wafer holder. The second measure is to provide an increased flow rate of a heat-conductive gas (such as H_s purge gas) through the chamber prior to inserting the wafer therein. The third measure is to provide a power bias to radiative heat elements (e.g., heat lamps) above the reaction chamber.
