TL;DR: In this article, a combination of techniques including oxygen storage capacity (OSC) measurements were used to compare the performance of pure cerias, silica-doped ceria, ceria-zirconia solid solutions, and ceria zirconica solid solutions with partial incorporation of praseodymium in the structure were used as high-surface-area powders and used as supports in model Pd automotive three-way catalysts prepared at Ford.

Abstract: Variable-geometry turbochargers (VGTs) are employed in high-end diesel engines. These VGTs also help in controlling the trade-offs in emissions performance. Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is used to dilute the combustion mixture, resulting in lower peak combustion temperatures and a lower oxygen concentration and hence lower NOx emissions. In this article, we compare some of the control methodologies previously presented and some not yet presented to evaluate their benefits experimentally. We do not include any new theory. Rather we refer to other sources for the development of the controllers evaluated. We present an objective comparison of advanced control methodologies on a complex industrial problem with widespread applications. The control methodologies discussed are essentially system based, i.e., the initial controller is developed on an engine model.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide some insight into the design of suspension control system within the context of existing literature and share observations on current hardware implementation of active and semi-active suspension systems.
Abstract: This survey paper aims to provide some insight into the design of suspension control system within the context of existing literature and share observations on current hardware implementation of active and semi-active suspension systems. It reviews the performance envelop of active, semi-active, and passive suspensions with a focus on linear quadratic-based optimisation including a specific example. The paper further discusses various design aspects including other design techniques, the decoupling of load and road disturbances, the decoupling of pitch and heave modes, the use of an inerter as an additional design element, and the application of preview. Various production and near production suspension systems were examined and described according to the features they offer, including self-levelling, variable damping, variable geometry, and anti-roll damping and stiffness. The lessons learned from these analytical insights and related hardware implementations are valuable and can be applied towards future active or semi-active suspension design.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate that large increases in the RON of US gasoline are possible by blending in an additional 10-20%v ethanol above the 10% already present. But they do not consider the effect of increased evaporative cooling from ethanol in direct injection engines.

TL;DR: An ultra-high-resolution small-angle neutron scattering (USANS) double-crystal diffractometer (DCD) is now in operation at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR), which uses multiple reflections from large silicon (220) perfect single crystals, before and after the sample, to produce both high beam intensity and a low instrument background suitable for smallangle scattering measurements.
Abstract: An ultra-high-resolution small-angle neutron scattering (USANS) double-crystal diffractometer (DCD) is now in operation at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR). The instrument uses multiple reflections from large silicon (220) perfect single crystals, before and after the sample, to produce both high beam intensity and a low instrument background suitable for small-angle scattering measurements. The minimum detector background to beam intensity ratio (noise-to-signal, N/S) for q ≥ 5 × 10−4 A−1 is 4 × 10−7. The instrument uses 2.38 A wavelength neutrons on a dedicated thermal neutron beam port, producing a peak flux on the sample of 17300 cm−2 s−1. The typical measurement range of the instrument extends from 3 × 10−5 A−1 to 5 × 10−3 A−1 in scattering wavevector (q), providing information on material structure over the size range from 0.1 µm to 20 µm. This paper describes the design and characteristics of the instrument, the mode of operation, and presents data that demonstrate the instrument's performance.
