The exhaust gas passes through at least one first of the at least two exhaust gas aftertreatment elements along a first flow direction, and the exhaust gas passes through at least one second of the at least two exhaust gas aftertreatment elements along a second flow direction, wherein the first flow direction and the second flow direction are oriented at least diagonally to each other, preferably anti-parallel to each other.

An apparatus for cleaning a motorization system includes an injector that injects cleaning fluid into an inlet of an internal-combustion engine, a diagnostic device that determines the system's soiling level as a function of intrinsic parameters thereof, and a controller that supplies the injection device with cleaning parameters that depend on the soiling level. The motorization includes the engine and a gas-circulation circuit having pipes and moving parts arranged to feed the inlet a gas mixture for combustion.

A jewelry display includes a ferromagnetic planar substrate having a front surface opposite a back surface. A bracket is configured to be attached to a wall, the bracket comprising at least one bracket magnet which is a permanent magnet. The back surface of the ferromagnetic planar substrate is configured to removably attach to the bracket due to the magnetic force of the at least one bracket magnet. A plurality of jewelry fixtures are configured to be removably attached to the front surface of the ferromagnetic planar substrate. Each jewelry fixture includes at least one permanent fixture magnet and a jewelry holding structure. The at least one permanent fixture magnet of each jewelry fixture is magnetically attracted to the ferromagnetic planar substrate. The at least one bracket magnet may be at least 2, 5, 10 times or more as powerful as the at least one permanent fixture magnet.

An exhaust handling system comprising: an exhaust pipe having an exhaust outlet, said exhaust outlet having a nozzle arranged to vent exhaust gas; at least one acceleration jet arranged to project an air flow at a velocity head greater than that of the vented exhaust gas; wherein the at least one acceleration jet and exhaust outlet are positioned to project the air flow so as to impinge on a path of said vented exhaust gas, and consequently transfer velocity head to the vented exhaust gas.

A mixer assembly for a vehicle exhaust system includes a mixer housing defining an internal cavity that is configured to receive engine exhaust gases and an upstream baffle that is positioned at an inlet end of the mixer housing. The upstream baffle comprises a plate having an open area that comprises a fixed geometric configuration through which exhaust gas enters the internal cavity. A valve is movable from a closed position toward an open position to provide a variable geometric configuration that changes the open area to reduce back pressure.

A valve assembly for an exhaust system includes a conduit, a valve flap disposed within an exhaust passageway for controlling exhaust flow through the exhaust passageway, a shaft supporting the valve flap in the exhaust passageway for rotation about a pivot axis, and a mass damper disposed external to the conduit and coupled to the shaft. The mass damper includes a longitudinal segment coupled to the shaft. The mass damper also includes a first damping mass that is disposed proximal to a first end of the longitudinal segment and is linearly movable along a centerline axis to a first distance with respect to the pivot axis. The mass damper further includes a second damping mass that is disposed proximal to a second end of the longitudinal segment and is linearly movable along the centerline axis to a second distance with respect to the pivot axis.

An exhaust aftertreatment system, EATS, for converting NOx emissions in exhaust gases from an engine. The EATS includes a fluid channel for providing a fluid pathway for the exhaust gases; a selective catalytic reduction, SCR, catalyst arranged in the fluid channel, the SCR catalyst being configured to store ammonia; an injector configured to inject a reductant for providing ammonia to the SCR catalyst, the injector being arranged upstream of the SCR catalyst; a fluid flow inducer configured to cause an induced fluid flow in at least a part of the fluid channel when the engine is turned off; and a controlling apparatus configured to precondition the EATS prior to engine start by injecting the reductant into the fluid channel, and transport the reductant into the SCR catalyst by the induced fluid flow to store ammonia in the SCR catalyst.
