A rotating separator has a housing preventing separated liquid carryover. A plenum between the annular rotating separating filter element and the housing sidewall has one or more flow path separating guides minimizing the flow of separated liquid to the outlet. The flow path guides may include one or more fins and/or swirl flow dampers and/or a configured surface.

An engine (E) of a saddle-riding type vehicle has an engine case that is substantially L-shaped by a cylinder block (42) being protruded upward from an upper face of a front portion of a crank case (40). An air cleaner (55) is disposed rearwardly of the cylinder block (42) and above the crank case (40). An outlet (72) through which blow-by gas (G) in the engine (E) is discharged is formed in the rear portion of the cylinder block (42). A case body (84) of the air cleaner (55) has a blow-by gas introduction port (86) through which the blow-by gas (G) is introduced into the air cleaner (55). The outlet (72) of the cylinder block (42) and the blow-by gas introduction port (86) of the case body (84) are connected by a connecting pipe (90). The blow-by gas introduction port (86) is disposed close to the cylinder block (42).

An oil separator is provided with a housing having an inlet for air, and an expansion chamber located inside the housing. The oil separator introduces air containing oil that has passed through the inlet into the housing, and separates and recovers the oil from the introduced air. The transverse cross-sectional area of the expansion chamber is larger than the opening area of the inlet. The oil separator is further provided with a collected liquid storage portion that is located below the expansion chamber and collects the separated oil, a liquid communication portion having a communication hole that connects the expansion chamber to the collected liquid storage portion, and a mounting and dismounting mechanism for mounting and dismounting the collected liquid storage portion to and from the housing.

A forced-induction engine includes a first ventilation passage that connects a crankcase to a portion of an intake passage downstream of a compressor and upstream of a throttle valve, a second ventilation passage that connects the crankcase to a portion of the intake passage upstream of the compressor, and a unidirectional valve configured to restrict a flow of gas from the crankcase toward the intake passage through the first ventilation passage. A controller for the forced-induction engine includes processing circuitry configured to determine whether a water accumulation amount in engine oil is relatively large, and when determining that the water accumulation amount is relatively large during operation of the forced-induction engine in a naturally-aspirated region, perform boost operation of the forced-induction engine by increasing a boost efficiency of the compressor and increasing an opening degree of a throttle valve.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided for implementing a system for providing a breather for a reservoir. The system includes a breather including a housing a dehumidifying element therein. The system further includes an operational sensor positioned within the housing, the operational sensor configured to output a sensor signal indicative of a measured operational parameter of the breather, and an expansion pack coupleable to the housing, the expansion pack is configured to receive the sensor signal indicative of the measured operational parameter and to transmit at least one of the measured operational parameter or a representation thereof. The system includes a control unit communicatively coupleable to the expansion pack having a processor, a display unit, and a storage. The processor executes a control application configured to receive the at least one of the measured operational parameter or representation thereof.

The present invention relates generally to shape memory polymer devices that are porous. The porosity of the device may generate advantageous neovascularization, decrease inflammation, and decrease fibrosis. The device may include a surface having a pore size of 400 m-1200 m and a pore spacing of about 100 m to about 750 m.
