Filter media and filter structure or media pack can be engineered to exhibit high initial efficiency and to surface load particulate removed from a gaseous stream. The filter technology protects engine operation from ingested particulate and accumulates the particulate as a surface loaded layer visible on the surface of the structure. The particulate accumulates as a surface loaded layer until it achieves a certain depth of particulate or gray scale characteristic or color depth indicative of the end of the useful life of the filter prompting a change of the filter structure. The filter structure is characterized by its ability to surface load particulate, avoid accumulation of particulate in the depth media and enhance the characteristics of the material through surface loading. Such technology is particularly useful in light duty vehicle maintenance technology.

A control system for a low cost, light duty combustion engine, where the control system generally utilizes engine speed and/or temperature input signals and independent operating sequences to determine a desired ignition timing and air-to-fuel ratio for a combustible mixture. There are several independent operating sequences, each one of which is designed to optimally control the engine under certain conditions. These operating sequences include a Cranking sequence that commences after the engine is initially turned on, a Warm Up sequence which follows the Cranking sequence, a Normal Mode sequence for typical operating conditions, an Acceleration sequence for certain increases in engine speed, a Come Down sequence for when a sufficient engine speed is followed by a certain decrease in speed, and a Recovery Bump sequence for when the engine speed dips below a predetermined level.

The distance to a target vehicle is calculated comparatively accurately. To achieve this, a target vehicle traveling ahead of one's own vehicle is imaged by a camera and it is determined to what vehicle group, such as a light-duty vehicle group, standard passenger car group or heavy-duty vehicle group, the image of the target vehicle belongs. A first distance from one's own vehicle to the target vehicle is calculated by a circuit using the representative vehicle width of the vehicle group decided. A vanishing point is detected from the captured image by a vanishing point detection circuit and a second distance from one's own vehicle to the target vehicle is calculated utilizing the vanishing point. The distance to the target vehicle is decided from the first and second distances by a distance decision circuit, wherein the shorter the distance to the vanishing point, the more the value of a weighting coefficient of the second distance is reduced.

Disclosed are, inter alia, methods of forming coated substrates for use in catalytic converters, as well as washcoat compositions and methods suitable for using in preparation of the coated substrates, and the coated substrates formed thereby, which in some cases use iron-exchanged zeolite particles that provide enhanced performance such as lower light-off temperatures and lower pollutant levels in exhaust gases. The catalytic material is prepared by a plasma-based method, yielding catalytic material with a lower tendency to migrate on support at high temperatures, and thus less prone to catalyst aging after prolonged use. Also disclosed are catalytic converters using the coated substrates, which have favorable properties as compared to catalytic converters using catalysts deposited on substrates using solution chemistry. Also disclosed are exhaust treatment systems, and vehicles, such as diesel vehicles, particularly light-duty diesel vehicles, using catalytic converters and exhaust treatment systems using the coated substrates.

An all-plastic light duty shelf unit includes rectangular shelf modules and vertical spacers. Each shelf module has four corner joints that can either be mated directly with each other or coupled together using cylindrical vertical spacers. This allows the user to customize the configuration of the shelf unit to meet his or her specific needs. It also reduces the cost to manufacture the shelf unit because the vertical spacers can be extruded rather than injection-molded. The corner joints also hold a shelf off the floor, thereby reducing part count and manufacturing cost.

The invention relates to a monolithic molding method of a light duty truck weldless axle case. A weldless steel round pipe is used, first, early hole shrinkage is conducted to two ends of the weldless steel round pipe, two times of hydro-bugling are conducted to the middle of the weldless steel round pipe; and then, later stage hole shrinkage is conducted to the two ends of the weldless steel round pipe to obtain a performing pipe blank which is in an axial symmetry shape or close to an axial symmetry shape. A die left pressure head and a die right pressure head are used on a four-way hydraulic machine for sealing the ends of the performing pipe blank, liquid is injected into the four-way hydraulic machine, an upper die block, a lower die block, a front die block and a rear die block are used for integral pressing and forming on the performing pipe blank from the upper direction, the lower direction, the front direction and the rear direction, an axle case semi-finished product with a hemispherical rear oil cap and an additional front cap is obtained, and an axle case product is obtained by cutting the additional front cap. According to the monolithic molding method, the manufactured axle case is weldless, high in strength and stiffness, and high in material utilization rate. Comparing the used technique with a traditional hydro-bugling technique, the liquid pressure needed in manufacturing process is lowered by more than 60%, and the tonnage of forming devices is lowered by more than 50%.

The present invention provides a suspension system for a light duty trailer which includes a pair of modules. Each module is provided on an end of the axle and includes a spring member, a tower for connecting a front end of the spring member to an underside of the light duty trailer, an air spring connected between the underside of the light duty trailer and the spring member, and a limiting assembly for connecting a rear end of the spring member to the underside of the light duty trailer. In operation, if no bumps or ruts are encountered, the spring member remains generally horizontal relative to the underside of the light duty trailer. If a bump is encountered, the rear end of the spring member moves upwardly relative to the underside of the light duty trailer and the air spring compresses. If a rut is encountered, the rear end of the spring member moves downwardly relative to the underside of the light duty trailer and the air spring expands. The limiting assembly limits the amount of travel of the spring member.
