Filed:

Jan 15, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/047702

Inventors:

Joseph M. Lepley - Girard OH

Assignee:

Altronic, Inc. - Girard OH

International Classification:

H02H 318

US Classification:

361 78, 307 66

Abstract:

An annunciator comprises an annunciation and shutdown circuit having input terminals for a first power supply and input terminals for a second power supply. The first and second power supplies are connected to supply power in parallel with each other to the annunciation and shutdown circuit. A logic means responds to a fault signal causing the annunciation and shutdown circuit to switch to low power mode upon sensing that a fault signal has occurred.

Gary A. Kleinfelder - Mercer PA, US

Assignee:

Altronic, Inc. - Girard OH

International Classification:

G06F 19/00
F01L 9/02

US Classification:

701113, 123 9012, 123347

Abstract:

An in-head compressed air start-up system for an internal combustion engine comprises an absolute angular position detector for the crankshaft outputting an electrical signal indicative of the angular position, a computer for storing a table of the firing order of the cylinders and the angular position of the crankshaft at which each piston reaches a desired angular position relative to top dead center (TDC), wherein the computer means compares the signal indicative of angular position of the crankshaft to the firing order table and generates a plurality of signals sequentially open and close solenoid valves to cause rotation of the crankshaft.

US Patent:

Filed:

Feb 2, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/702003

Inventors:

Joseph M. Lepley - Girard OH, US

Assignee:

Altronic, Inc. - Girard OH

International Classification:

F02P 3/08

US Classification:

123605, 123598, 123606, 123620, 315209 CD

Abstract:

A capacitive discharge ignition system in which a controllable switch is positioned between a storage capacitor and the primary winding of an ignition transformer. The switch is controlled to create a train of pulses to the primary winding timed to reinforce the ringing action of the ignition transformer.

Filed:

Aug 5, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/185851

Inventors:

Joseph M. Lepley - Girard OH, US

Assignee:

Altronic, LLC - Girard OH

International Classification:

F02P 3/06
F02P 3/08

US Classification:

123596

Abstract:

A capacitive discharge ignition system for an internal combustion engine and for use with a generator powered current source comprises a storage capacitor, at least one power thyristor for discharging the storage capacitor to transfer energy to at least one coil triggered in synchronism with an internal combustion engine with which the ignition system may be associated. A triggering circuit biases the power thyristor to discharge the storage capacitor. A shut-off circuit comprises a solid state device for switching the output of the generator to ground interrupting the flow of current to the power thyristor. A circuit sensing current flow in the triggering circuit generates a control and gates the solid state device into conduction in response to the control signal.

Appl. No.:

13/222630

Inventors:

Joseph M. Lepley - Girard OH, US

Assignee:

Hoerbiger Kompressortechnik Holding GmbH - Wien

International Classification:

F02D 41/26
F02D 41/30

US Classification:

701104

Abstract:

A gaseous fuel control system for a dual-fuel internal combustion engine comprising a plurality of valves for controlling the amount of gaseous fuel supplied to the engine. The valves have adjustable full-open flow rates and rapidly move from full-open to full-closed in response to a digital signal. An electronic system for monitoring at least one engine operating parameter maps the parameter value to control the opening and closing of the valves to establish a desired gaseous fuel flow rate.
