20140090925 | EXHAUST COMPONENT WITH VIBRATION ISOLATED PIPE - A vehicle exhaust system includes an exhaust component having an inlet and an outlet. The exhaust component is configured to be fixed to a vehicle body. A pipe extends through the exhaust component from the inlet to the outlet. The pipe is mounted for movement relative to the exhaust component at the inlet and the outlet. | 04-03-2014 |
20130233642 | Exhaust Valve Combined With Active Noise Control System - A vehicle exhaust system includes at least one exhaust component that defines an exhaust passage from an engine to an exhaust outlet. An active noise attenuation component is associated with the exhaust component. A valve is positioned within the exhaust component downstream of the engine and upstream of the active noise attenuation component. The valve and active noise attenuation component cooperate with each other to control noise generated by the exhaust system. | 09-12-2013 |
20130086902 | Method And Apparatus For Recovering Energy From Coolant In A Vehicle Exhaust System - A heat recovery system includes an engine coolant circuit and an exhaust gas recovery circuit. The engine coolant circuit uses an engine coolant fluid to cool an engine. The exhaust gas recovery circuit comprises a Rankine cycle system that uses a working fluid to convert heat from engine exhaust gases to energy. The engine coolant fluid comprises the working fluid such that the engine coolant circuit and an exhaust gas recovery circuit comprise a common circuit such that the Rankine cycle system recovers energy from exhaust gas heat and from engine coolant heat. | 04-11-2013 |
20130056083 | HYBRID VALVE FOR ATTENUATION OF LOW FREQUENCY NOISE - A hybrid valve assembly for an exhaust system includes an exhaust tube having a bore defining an exhaust flow path. A vane is mounted within the bore and is moveable between an open position and a closed position. A resilient member biases the vane toward the closed position. A valve actuator has an ON position where movement of the vane is actively controlled by the valve actuator and an OFF position where movement of the vane is passively controlled by exhaust gas flow. | 03-07-2013 |
