POLLUTION HANDLING PROCESS AND SYSTEM FOR VEHICLES
The present invention is a method and system for collection of exhaust emissions installed in vehicles and disposal thereof, based on pollution conditions of the surrounding environment, said conditions identified either from sensors installed on the vehicles themselves, or by means of an external service, e.g. the Internet, cloud service, etc.
WORKING VEHICLE
A working vehicle according to an embodiment includes an exhaust pipeline and a cover. The exhaust pipeline includes an exhaust gas purification device provided to stand on one of left and right sides of a running vehicle body. The cover is provided to cover at least a peripheral surface of the exhaust gas purification device of the exhaust pipeline and has an opening in a bottom thereof. The cover has a plurality of vent holes with a diameter less than that of the opening that are formed above the opening.

METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR THE DETECTION OF MISFIRE OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES
A method and system are provided with which it is possible to detect non-firing and untimely firing events in internal combustion and, if necessary, the temperature of the gas in the exhaust gas pipe. This is performed in general by measuring the speed of sound and determining the phase angle between the sender and receiver either arranged on different sides of the exhaust gas pipe or on the same side of the exhaust gas pipe. The receiver, depending on the measurement principle, can include one, two, or in special applications three receivers. Additionally, if necessary, it is possible to suppress the structure-borne sound influence on a speed of sound measurement with low cost and high stability.

In-Port Ship Exhaust Capture Device
A device for capturing in-port ship exhaust gases is designed to be connected to a ship, when the ship has at least one funnel that serves as an outlet for exhaust gases. The device includes at least one collection device, including a hood designed to connect to the funnel at the exhaust outlet so as to collect the exhaust gases coming out of the funnel, a handling unit designed to move the collection device and position it at the exhaust outlet, a first constraint configured to interconnect or disconnect the collection device and the handling unit by command so as to create a handling configuration in which the collection device and the handling unit are interconnected by the first constraint and can be moved as one, and a collection configuration in which the collection device collects the exhaust gases and the connection achieved by the first constraint is released, and a second constraint configured to exert a magnetic attraction force, by command, intended to put the first constraint into the handling configuration.

Exhaust lining having a connecting element
An exhaust lining for an exhaust system of a motor vehicle has a first connecting element clamped between a first and second pipe. The first pipe forms a tailpipe. The second pipe forms a tailpipe cover. The tailpipe cover has a tubular inner part held on by means of the first connecting element which clings onto the first pipe via by means of a lever mechanism. A load arm of the lever mechanism, having the distance A, is shorter than an effort arm, having the distance B. The length of the effort arm is precisely defined, because the end of the effort arm lies against the first pipe via a punctiform contact area. A first contact surface of a clamping spring is designed offset from the longitudinal extent of a main body of the first connecting element to save space in the longitudinal direction of the main body.

Method and apparatus for converting a vehicle from a dual-in, single-out exhaust system to a dual-in, dual-out exhaust system
An exhaust pulse balance chamber comprising a circular collar, mid-section that bulges at its center, skirt, and right and left legs, all of which are sealed to the exterior environment and in fluid communication with one another. The outer diameter of the skirt increases in width but not in depth from the proximal end of the skirt to the distal end of the skirt, which is configured to receive the right and left legs. Each leg is bent at a 30-degree angle relative to the central longitudinal axis of the exhaust pulse balance chamber. The invention includes a method of using the exhaust pulse balance chamber to convert a vehicle from a dual-in, single-out exhaust system to a dual-in, dual-out exhaust system.
