Characterisation of Flame Development with Hydrous and Anhydrous Ethanol Fuels in a Spark-Ignition Engine with Direct Injection and Port Injection Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This paper presents a study of the combustion mechanism of hydrous and anhydrous ethanol in comparison to iso-octane and gasoline fuels in a single-cylinder spark-ignition research engine operated at 1000 rpm with 0.5 bar intake plenum pressure.

Turbulence averaging within spark ignition engines [PDF]

open access: yesExperiments in Fluids, 1999
This paper examines velocity averaging within Spark-Ignition (SI) engines, a non-stationary system. Comparison is made between the mean and turbulence velocities found from (a) Ensemble, (b) Cyclic and (c) Wavelet-based averaging. The various methods of extracting turbulence within this flow system result in qualitatively similar average velocities ...

An Artificial Antibody‐Based Toolbox Accelerates Validation of Hidden Microproteins Encoded by the Dark Genome

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Microproteins are hidden treasures encoded by the “dark proteome” but remain largely underexplored due to the lack of highly efficient tools. We developed a molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs)‐based toolbox (CLAIMID) to achieve accelerated and ultrasensitive microproteins validation at multiple biological scales (single living cells, cell populations,

Hydrogen SI and HCCI Combustion in a Direct-Injection Optical Engine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Hydrogen has been largely proposed as a possible alternative fuel for internal combustion engines. Its wide flammability range allows higher engine efficiency with leaner operation than conventional fuels, for both reduced toxic emissions and no CO2 ...

Localized NF‐κB Inhibition Reduces Lipid Nanoparticle‐Associated Inflammation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) activate NF‐κB and provoke inflammation that limits therapeutic delivery. By encapsulating selective NF‐κB inhibitors within LNPs, localized suppression of inflammatory signaling is achieved without compromising mRNA expression.

Spark Plug with Integrated Chamber

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
Spark plug with integrated chamber increases the quality of ignition of homogenous mixture in the engine cylinder. Very small amount of burning mixture bursts (outflows) from chamber (so-called flame jet ignition) which heads into faster initial phase of

Combined influence of ignition chamber volume and spark plug channel diameter on the performance of small-scale natural gas Wankel rotary engine

open access: yesEngineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics, 2021
To improve the poor in-cylinder combustion condition of the small spark ignition Wankel rotary engine (SI-WRE) and improve its efficiency, this paper conducted a comprehensive optimization of its ignition environment.

Sustained arc ignition system [PDF]

open access: yes, 1977
Circuitry for maintaining an arc or spark across a spark gap for a desired length of time is disclosed. A high voltage, direct current source is connected in series with a secondary winding of a high voltage, stepup transformer or coil and a spark gap ...

Combustion Characteristics and Laminar Flame Speed of Premixed Ethanol-Air Mixtures with Laser-Induced Spark Ignition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Laser-induced spark-ignition (LISI) has an advanced ignition technique with a few benefits over spark ignition. In this study, flame morphology, laminar flame characteristics and combustion characteristics of premixed anhydrous ethanol and air mixtures ...

Delivery of Pleckstrin‐Homology Domains Suppresses PI3K/Akt Signaling and Breast Cancer Metastasis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Current therapies curb tumor growth but not metastasis. Obscurin, a giant metastasis suppressor lost in breast cancer, restrains PI3K/Akt signaling but is impractical to restore. We deploy a mini‐obscurin, comprising the obscurin‐PH‐domain, which sequesters PI3K‐p85, potently suppressing invasion and metastasis.
