After searching all over for my replacement lamp, Go-part.com had the most reasonable price. What made it even better was how precise the description was and how fast I got it. I recommend Go-part.com to all my friends and family. A+ A+ A+

Arrived on time. Superb condition. This part is very compatable with my Dodge Caliber 07. For the price, it was definitely convenient. Much appreciated for this product and complementary serviceby vegeta842003

SALT LAKE CITY — A college student has posted a video of himself on the Internet stripping down to a Speedo bathing suit at the Salt Lake City airport in a protest of security patdowns.
The video was purportedly shot Tuesday in a security line, but airport spokeswoman Barbara Gann says another Speedo protest is taking place Wednesday, with one man walking around in a Speedo, boots and cap.
Transportation Security Administration spokesman Dwyane Baird says the man isn't a security threat and won't be detained.

The Canucks waived Higgins for the purpose of buying out his contract. His offensive production has steadily declined over the years, and he was limited to 33 games last season with various injuries getting in the way. Higgins wears that leadership hat just as well off the ice as he does on it, and it doesn't bode well for the 12-year veteran that he went unclaimed after getting placed on unconditional waivers.
Higgins has been waived by the Canucks in order to buy him out of his contract, Ben Kuzma of the Vancouver Province reports.
Higgins saw his role drastically decrease over the course of the 2015-16 campaign, so it comes as little surprise that the organization has decided to move in a different direction. By buying out the 33-year-old, Vancouver will save an estimated $833,333 in cap space for next season. It remains unclear if the 33-year-old will find a landing spot, but he could be a depth addition for a team in need of veteran leadership,although fantasy owners still holding on to him should consider waiving him as well.
Higgins has one year remaining on his four-year, $10 million contract. If the Canucks execute a buyout on the 33-year-old, it will only cost $833,333 against the cap in each of the next two seasons. After landing on waivers last January, Higgins ended up clearing and stayed in the Canucks organization. Unfortunately, he is often injured. In 2015-16, Higgins was limited to 33 games with his numbers -- three goals, one assist and a minus-14 rating -- rendering him useless in the majority of fantasy leagues.
This news likely won't cause fantasy owners to blink. Higgins finishes with just four points in 33 games of an injury-plauged campaign. When he was able to take the ice, the 32-year-old was a liability defensively, as evidenced by a minus-14 rating.
Higgins already missed out on Monday's 3-2 victory over the Kings, and it's unclear when (or if) he will return with only two games remaining after Wednesday.

Sorry, this product is no longer in stock.
strong, icky smell and taste!
Posted by Reviewer2436065 on Dec 10, 2009
I beleive this product helps the immune system, but it is so nasty smelling and such large pills that we've had trouble taking it at all. it would be great if it were packaged in a gel capsule to lessen the odor. it's really strong!
Doesn't Work For Me....
Posted by Reviewer2088152 on Jan 25, 2008
I purchased this product due to all the glowing reviews and raves at how well this product keeps you well during the cold/flu season. However, I have found this product doesn't agree with me. I take it as directed, however it makes me feel light-headed and nauseated, so I have had to throw this product out as I can't return it now that it has been opened. This product also smells atrocious and tastes badly once placed inside the mouth.... I've checked the expiration date and it is still supposedly good.
Good but can be better as well!
Posted by Supplementsdiy on Nov 17, 2013
This is a very comprehensive blend of immune boosting herbs and vitamins in one bottle! Some of the ingredients might seem low in weight but herbs are known to work in synergy and the end results often exceed the potency of individual herbs! It finds that it works well to prevent the onset of illness and it does not work well once you are already sick. Note that the tablets are very big (known as horse pill) so some people might have difficulty swallowing it. The smell/taste from the tablets might also turn some people. You can opt for the capsules version if this is a problem but it is more expensive as well. As for the dosage, 3 daily seems just right. I find that 1 or 2 tablets daily seem somewhat ineffective. Another downside is that the product does not use the most bioavailable vitamin A, C, selenium or even zinc and the vitamin C contains way too much different forms of Vitamin C and there is no way to tell the portion of each form to the other. For additional immune boosting, you can add mushroom blends as well. Check out my page for more reviews!
Not that effective
Posted by Reviewer3154507 on Dec 20, 2007
Based on other reviews, I tried this product a couple of times when I thought I was coming down with a cold and it seemed to work quickly. Recently, I took it immediately every 3 hours for 2 days when I felt something coming on and it failed to prevent it. It is now almost a week later and I am finally on the mend.
I heard these are the best
Posted by Reviewer1676014 on Dec 13, 2007
I was told this is a must always have in the medicine chest and I agree they work very well to keep from coming down with the latest sickness.
It works for me!
Posted by Reviewer3107219 on Jan 24, 2008
I have recently re-ordered Wellness Formula from iHerb.com and have been asked to review the product. I have taken Wellness Formula very regularly for more years than I can remember. What I can remember is that throughout that entire time, I have not succombed to the common cold or any other air-borne illnesses which others around me seem to easily "catch." Perhaps naively, I credit all of that good health to Wellness Formula, Herbal Defense Complex.
excellent product
Posted by Reviewer1853259 on Jan 13, 2008
This formula has been the cornerstone of my health for over 8 years. seriously, it has saved me over and over again. I am leading your "horse to water..."!
Da Best
Posted by Reviewer3109128 on Nov 08, 2007
Aloha this product has been keeping my family and myself feeling great.
Best Formula I've Tried
Posted by Reviewer1207153 on Nov 14, 2007
Our family has been using this for years, taking it at the onset of a cold or flu, and it's rare that we aren't back to normal in a day or two. My husband also takes it along with his multivitamin when he travels - and he's convinced it increases his resistance.
Fantastic Sinus Remedy
Posted by Reviewer2894352 on Jan 26, 2007
Wellness Formula works great when sinus infections are just starting. Taking these helps clear up the sinuses before infection can set in. Love this stuff! One of those things we keep on hand all winter!

Skip to comments.Cat has been mayor of Alaska town for 15 years
Posted on 06/08/2013 1:17:17 PM PDT by VRW Conspirator
There is a town in Alaska that has had a cat as mayor for 15 years. The cat named Stubbs has been the mayor of Talkeetna, Alaska for nearly all of his life -- no joke. It's been that way for more than a decade in the small tourist town that boasts nearly 900 residents.
The part-manx was named honorary mayor shortly after his birth, and now locals all know the cat as "Mayor Stubbs."
"He was just in the Alaska Magazine, and he's been featured in a few different things," said Lauri Stec, who works at Nagley's General Store in Talkeetna, where Stubbs hangs out most of the time.
As the story goes, 15 years ago several of the town residents didn't like the candidates who were running for mayor of Talkeetna, so as a joke, they encouraged enough people to elect Stubbs the cat as a write-in candidate, and he actually won.
Now, thanks to Stubbs, local tour guides have a little fun with the thousands of tourists who come through the town
Kitty ping.
Probably does less damage than any human mayor would.
....you're going to love this!
"Meow'm I Doing?"
You beat me by this ________ much. LOL!
The cat was found to do better than any democrat.
Maybe he can run for POTUS in 2016. He's a NBC and over 45 in cat years. I bet he'd snub lavish Hollyweird parties.
He can prowl and growl like a tough guy, but when it comes to doing business, he is just a pussy.
There must be a special claws in the town charter ....
The Catnip stops here.
If it isn't, it should be.
That Awkward Moment when the mayor curls up and licks his a$$#0!e.
Cat = Mayor
Pussy = President
You wonder what actually falls under his purrview...
Did he have to take a civet-service exam?
Is this tail even that mewsworthy??
Some of you may be interested in visiting Talkeetna some day and the best way to do it is by the Alaska Railroad.
The railroad runs out of Anchorage to Talkeetna or Fairbanks through Denali Park on to Talkeetna. You wouldn't have to rent a car at all, just fly to Anchorage or Fairbanks, take a shuttle to the hotel and shuttle to the railroad. In Denali Park the hotels are set up to shuttle you to the park and the railroad. It is a splendid trip traveling through the outback, along rivers and mountains. I love the railroad trip as it is so peaceful, has a great dining car and dome seats for at a very reasonable price. All of the scheduling can of course be done on the internet.
Denali Park is a wonderful place to see with its majestic mountains and animals, including bear, moose, mountain sheep, and occasional caribou. The bus takes you throughout the park or you can camp at various sites and catch the bus to and from different stages in the park.
Talkeetna is a great frontier town with around 13 historical houses. They have great restaurants which is surprising and the locals sell handmade and Alaskan products. This is one of my favorite trips in Alaska.
Awkward because normally elected officials tell us to do it.
Or, you could go see America and drive all the way.
Catch the Alaska Maritime Ferry in Washington and enjoy the leisurely cruise to Alaska. Catch the Alaska Hiway just north of Haines and see Fairbanks. ( You can drive north on the Dalton Hiway to the Artic circle if you wish) Then come south via Denali and Talketna to Anchorage. The trip back north via Tok to Chicken and the Top of the World, across the Yukon River into Dawson City.
All that country is spectacular.
Wasn't there a proposal at one point to make Talkeetna the capital of Alaska, since Juneau is so isolated from most of the state?
Have they checked the Mayor on his Catnip intake?
Sounds fantastic.
The town has no rats!
And driving is so much more fun than taking a train. You get to go there on your own schedule, instead of relying on the train's timetable. That's why high-speed rail doesn't work in America. We all have cars, which are far more convenient.
Murkowski was also running for mayor that year.
Thanks VRW Conspirator.
What is his position on illegal guns?
At least he keeps the RATS at bay. :)=^..^=
Lol that's fantastic!
And despite being a pet, he doesn't vote for them.
Beats the heck out of a President who coils up and tells the entire nation to do it or else.
Yah, you used to be able to smell the "Bluegrass Festival" clear down in Wasilla.

Psychology encompasses the scientific study of behavior in all of its extraordinary diversity. Some psychologists devote themselves to research on the behavior of individuals or groups, or relationships among the brain, central nervous system, and behavior. Others occupy themselves in practice: treating patients suffering from psychological disorders or disordered relationships; counseling college students with learning and relationship problems; working with school children who may be experiencing learning disabilities or school adjustment problems; or helping businesses and their employees deal with interpersonal and organizational problems. The articles included in OHO represent psychology's principal subfields: clinical psychology, cognitive neuroscience, cognitive psychology, counseling psychology, developmental psychology, health psychology, the history of psychology, industrial/organization psychology, methods and measurement in psychology, neuropsychology, and personality and social psychology. One of the most dynamic of the behavioral sciences, psychology extends its reach to a constantly changing array of research topics, which are reflected in the multitude of articles included on this site.

text: ORVM, with a modern and elegant art deco style, gives a touch of today to the classical and refined ambience of The Westin Excelsior. It is the new meeting point in the heart of Roman life. Architectonical details and furnishings coming from different parts of the world and meet at the ORVM to create a unique refuge. From the Mexican onyx used for the panels decorating the bar corner to the English lamps that set the mood. From vases made in stone from Lecce, Italy to the South American wood chosen to create the warm parquet. And, finally, to the rich carpet from Thailand. Small fragments of distant and different cultures make ORVM an eclectic and original place, realized by the architecture of HDC by Michael Stelea. The predominant color of the renewed bar at The Westin Excelsior is orange: its shades are in the smallest details, from ashtrays to pillows, and in the imposing chandelier able to provide a warm light to the ambience. The brown and grey tones of the furniture, made of leather and chenille, are a modern interpretation of the spirit and charm of the roaring twenties, punctuated with late Art Dèco design elements.

Intimate Strategies of the Civil War: Military Commanders and Their Wives / Edition 1by Carol K. Bleser, Lesley J. Gordon
Pub. Date: 09/01/2007
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
Carol K. Bleser and Lesley J. Gordon assemble an impressive array of leading scholars to explore the marriages of six Confederate/i>
From Robert E. and Mary Lee to Ulysses S. and Julia Grant, Intimate Strategies of the Civil War examines the marriages of twelve prominent military commanders, highlighting the impact wives had on their famous husbands' careers.
Carol K. Bleser and Lesley J. Gordon assemble an impressive array of leading scholars to explore the marriages of six Confederate and six Union commanders. Contributors reveal that, for many of these men, the matrimonial bond was the most important relationship in their lives, one that shaped (and was shaped by) their military experience. In some cases, the commanders' spouses proved relentless and skillful promoters of their husbands' careers. Jessie Fremont drew on all of her connections as the daughter of former Senator Thomas Hart Benton to aid her modestly talented husband John. Others bolstered their military spouses in less direct ways. For example, Ulysses S. Grant's relationship with Julia (a Southerner and former slave owner herself) kept him anchored in stormy times. Here, too, are tense and tempestuous pairings, such William Tecumseh Sherman and his wife Ellen--his foster sister before becoming his wife--and Jefferson Davis's fascinatingly complex bond with Varina, further complicated by the hostile rumors about the two in Richmond society. Throughout, these historians paint remarkably intimate portraits of their subjects, ranging from hints of sexual passion, to the wives' fierce protectiveness of their husbands' reputations, to the surprisingly frequent visits of spouses to the front lines and battlefields. Readers will see these famed men in a way that they perhaps never considered: not merely as famous leaders, but as lovers, husbands and fathers.
Illuminating a frequently neglected but extremely significant side of military history, Intimate Strategies is a must-read for anyone seeking fresh perspective on some of the war's best known commanders and a landmark contribution to Civil War history.

[[Music/GodspeedYouBlackEmperor This post-rock band from Montreal]] [[TearJerker can really do some incredibly emotional songs]].
* "I said, 'Kiss me, you are beautiful; these are truly the last days.' You grabbed my hand and we fell into it. Like a daydream. Or a fever." from "The Dead Flag Blues" is particularly heart-wrenching. This is, arguably, the most bleak and depressing piece of music ever written. The cheery bit and the end actually makes it ''worse''.
* "They don't sleep any more on the beach" from the intro to "Sleep". Just the man's voice alone with nostalgia for the good old days is heartbreaking.
** To say nothing of the song itself. The entire second half of it is just so ethereal that it can make one tear up.
* "Love Song for 15 Ontario" by Godspeed side-project Set Fire to Flames manages to be heartbreaking with no vocals at all.
** The song was used on the soundtrack of the equally heartbreaking movie ''Tout est parfait'', that centers around a teen whose four closest friends all kill themselves, leaving him out of their pact...
* "Wanda" by another Godspeed side-project, A Silver Mt. Zion, is already somber enough... then you discover it was written in memory of Efrim Menuck's dog, who died while he was away on tour.
* "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven" features a beautiful build-up to a crash that feels like dawn... It can make one tear up every time.
* The end of "Storm" with the sampled speech.
* "Chart #3", with its incredibly somber violin solo over which appears a sample of a preacher talking about dying and seeing the face of God, can be extremely depressing.
* It's already mentioned on the heartwarming page, but "Antennas to Heaven" has been known to move people to tears of joy, between the sounds of children playing and the highly emotional instrumental passages that follow.

The present invention relates to fuel injection systems for internal combustion engines, and more particularly to devices for controlling the injection of fuel into an engine combustion chamber.
In a single-injection fuel injection system in which a single or uninterrupted charge of fuel is injected into an engine combustion chamber or cylinder during each combustion cycle, incomplete combustion can occur wherein the spray of fuel into the combustion chamber is not completely burned prior to the exhaust phase of the engine. Incomplete combustion can cause a large increase in engine emissions, and is therefore to be avoided as much as possible.
A different problem encountered during operation of an internal combustion engine (especially those using diesel fuels) is an excessive rate of pressure rise in the combustion chamber after ignition of the fuel charge. This condition is caused by a delay period from the beginning of injection of fuel to the initiation of ignition of the fuel. See, Burman, P. G. and DeLuca, F., Fuel Injection and Controls (1962), Chapter 11, "Diesel Engine Combustion" at p. 138. This excessive rate of pressure rise is undesirable because it applies high stresses to engine components and causes rough engine operation.
One known method of minimizing incomplete combustion and the excessive rate of pressure rise is known as "split injection." Split injection involves the injection of a pilot fuel charge into the combustion chamber prior to injection of a main or primary fuel charge during each fuel injection cycle. The pilot fuel charge is smaller in volume and duration of delivery than the main fuel charge and is ignited before the main fuel charge is injected into the combustion chamber. Injection of the pilot fuel charge results in burning of the main fuel charge in a relatively uniform and complete manner in comparison to a single-injection system, yielding smoother engine performance, reduced emissions, and reduced engine noise. The excessive rate of pressure rise in the combustion chamber and excessive emissions can be further controlled by controlling the fuel injected during the pilot injection.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,014,466 issued to Monnot et al. on Dec. 26, 1961, U.S. Pat. No. 3,216,407 issued to Eyzat on Nov. 9, 1965, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,022,165 issued to Eckert et al. on May 10, 1977, disclose the use of auxiliary fuel lines which permit injection of a pilot charge. The drawback of such a design is that it requires additional fuel lines. Also, installation of such a system in many applications may be difficult because of space constraints within the engine compartment.
Fuel injectors are known in the art which are designed to inject a pilot fuel charge without the need for other devices. U.S. Pat. No. 2,813,752 issued to Pringham on Nov. 19, 1957, U.S. Pat. No. 2,951,643 issued to Engel, Jr. on Sep. 6, 1960, and U.S. Pat. No. 3,104,817 issued to Vander Zee et al. on Sep. 24, 1963, disclose fuel injection nozzles having the capability to introduce a pilot charge and a main charge. However, these nozzles must typically be customized for each engine in which they are to be installed.
A paper authored by K. P. Mayer, entitled "Fuel economy, emissions and noise of multi-spray light duty DI diesels--current status and development trends," SAE Paper No. 841288 (1984), discloses the use of a separate mechanical split injection device disposed between a high pressure fuel line and a fuel injection nozzle. A piston loaded by a spring is disposed in fluid communication with the high pressure fuel line. As fuel pressure increases during each injection cycle, the piston retracts, thereby increasing the fuel volume. The increase in fuel volume results in a momentary reduction in fuel pressure delivered to the nozzle during each injection cycle. The Mayer paper does not disclose means for adjusting in situ the Mayer device for different applications or operating conditions.
In addition to the foregoing, U.S. Pat. No. 3,575,146 issued to Creighton et al. on Apr. 20, 1971, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,621,599 issued to Igashira et al. on Nov. 11, 1986, disclose electronically controlled fuel injection systems which regulate the flow of fuel during a pilot charge and a main charge. Igashira '599 also discloses a fuel injection control system which injects a third fuel charge in addition to main and pilot charges. These control systems are complex and add considerable cost to the design and manufacture of fuel injection systems. Furthermore, they are not readily retrofitted to existing engines which use conventional single-injection fuel systems.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,438,359 issued to Thoma on Apr. 15, 1969, discloses the use of a valve disposed between a high pressure fuel line and an injector nozzle. The valve regulates and meters the fuel flow such that a pilot charge is injected without the need for a specially adapted nozzle, separate pilot fuel line, or complex fuel injection control system.
The Thoma '359 device includes a piston disposed in a valve body which is preloaded by a helical compression spring.
At the beginning of each fuel injection sequence, the rise in fuel pressure which accompanies each injection pulse acts in opposition to the spring. Thus the piston is displaced and fuel flows into a reservoir. The flow of fuel into the reservoir causes a momentary pressure drop which defines the intermediate drop in fuel pressure between the pilot injection pulse and main injection pulse.
The disadvantages of the Thoma '359 device are twofold. First, the device is costly to produce because the intricate design of the piston demands a number of relatively expensive machining operations. Second, the device is not adjustable, and must be custom designed and built for each different engine design with which it is to be used.
Newer engines often include split injection capabilities. However, there is a need for an inexpensive, simple and reliable retrofit device for an existing engine having a single-injection fuel injection system to convert such an engine into one having split injection capability and which can facilitate precise control over fuel injection characteristics in order to control the rate of pressure rise in the combustion chamber and minimize incomplete combustion.
An adjustable fuel injection control mechanism is adapted for connection between a high pressure fuel line and each fuel injector of an internal combustion engine. The mechanism may be installed on an existing engine previously having a single-injection fuel system, thereby giving the engine split injection capability.
More specifically, in accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a fluid control mechanism comprises a main body, a controlling means and an adjusting means both carried by the main body. The controlling means controls a fluid characteristic and includes a chamber and moveable piston in the chamber. The adjusting means are accessible from outside the mechanism and permit adjustment of the fluid characteristic without disassembly of the fluid control mechanism.
Preferably, a cap is removably mounted on the main body and encloses the controlling means and the adjusting means.
Also, the mechanism preferably includes means for placing the chamber in fluid communication with a fluid line. The placing means may comprise a primary check valve disposed between the fluid line and the chamber.
Also, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mechanism includes means biasing the piston toward an end of the chamber and the adjusting means includes means for altering a force applied to the piston by the biasing means.
Still further, it is preferred that the biasing means comprises a helical compression spring and the altering means comprises a spring stop abutting the helical compression spring which is moveable along a direction along which the piston is moveable.
Also preferably, the spring is disposed between the spring stop and the piston and the adjusting means includes means for selecting a travel limit of the piston.
It is also preferred that the selecting means comprises a piston stop disposed within the chamber wherein the piston stop abuts the piston at the travel limit of the piston and is moveable along a direction along which the piston is moveable.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, a fuel injection control mechanism comprises an inlet orifice for connection to a high pressure fuel line, an outlet orifice for connection to a fuel injector nozzle, a main passage connecting the inlet orifice and the outlet orifice and a chamber having two ends. A primary check valve is disposed between the main passage and a first end of the chamber and a piston stop is disposed in the chamber. A piston is slidably mounted between the piston stop and the primary check valve. A biasing means is disposed between the piston and a second end of the chamber and exerts a force on the piston. Means accessible from outside the chamber allow adjustment of the piston stop and the force exerted by the biasing means on the piston. Further, a removable cap encloses the adjustment allowing means.
A fuel injection control mechanism constructed in accordance with the present invention is a cost effective, simple, and adjustable device for solving the problems of incomplete combustion and the excessive rate of pressure rise in internal combustion engines. A fuel injection control mechanism made in accordance with the present invention can be installed into existing engines without the need for extensive modifications or additional fuel lines. Because the mechanism is adjustable in situ, it is unnecessary to design and manufacture a separate mechanism for each specific engine application or set of operating conditions. Also, the mechanism may be adjusted without disassembly or removal of the mechanism from the fuel injection system in which it is installed.
Other features and advantages are inherent in the apparatus claimed and disclosed or will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 comprises a block diagram of a fuel injection system incorporating the present invention;
FIG. 2 comprises a diagrammatic crosssectional view of a fuel injection control mechanism in accordance with the present invention showing the primary check valve in the closed position;
FIG. 3 comprises a view similar to FIG. 2 but showing the primary check valve in the open position; and
FIG. 4 comprises a graph illustrating an exemplary operation of the fuel injection control mechanism of FIGS. 1-3.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a fuel injection system 5 includes a fuel transfer pump 6 which receives fuel from a fuel tank 7 and a filter 8 and delivers same to one or more fuel injectors 9 via an injection pump 13 and one or more fuel supply lines or conduits 10. The fuel injectors 9 inject fuel into associated combustion chambers or cylinders (not shown) of an internal combustion engine. A fuel injection control mechanism 11 is disposed between the fuel line 10 and each fuel injector 9.
While one fuel injector 9 is shown in FIG. 1, it should be noted that a different number of fuel injectors may alternatively be used to inject fuel into a like number of associated engine combustion chambers. Also, the engine with which the fuel injection system 5 may be used may comprise a diesel-cycle engine, an ignition-assisted engine or any other type of engine where it is necessary or desirable to inject fuel therein.
The fuel injection system 5 comprises a pump-line-injector system wherein the injection pump 13 pressurizes the fuel flowing in the fuel lines 10 at a relatively high pressure, for example about 138 MPa (about 20,000 p.s.i.). In such a system, an internal check (not shown) of each fuel injector 9 is responsive to pressure in the lines 10 to release the pressurized fuel into the respective combustion chamber.
Referring now to FIG. 2, the fuel injection control mechanism 11 comprises a main body 12 and a cap or cover 14 which together define the outer contours of the mechanism. The main body 12 may be constructed of any suitable material, such as steel. The main body 12 includes a main passage 16 which interconnects an inlet orifice 18, an outlet orifice 20 and a primary valve orifice 22. The inlet orifice 18 is adapted to be connected to the high pressure fuel supply line 10 while the outlet orifice is adapted to be connected to the fuel injector 9. The primary valve orifice 22 leads to a primary check valve 24.
The primary check valve 24 includes a movable valve, such as a ball valve 26, disposed between a valve seat 28 and a cylindrical piston 30. The piston 30 is slidably disposed within a chamber 32 defined by a cylindrical inner surface 34. A seal 38 is disposed between a cylindrical outer surface 36 of the piston 30 and the inner surface 34 of the chamber 32. Preferably, the seal 38 maintains a clearance of about 4 to about 8 microns between the outer surface 36 of the piston 30 and the inner surface 34 of the chamber 32. A helical compression spring 40 is compressed between the piston 30 and a hollow cylindrical spring stop 42. The travel of the piston 30 is limited by a piston stop 44.
A threaded outer cylindrical surface 46 of the piston stop 44 engages a threaded inner cylindrical surface 48 of the spring stop 42. A threaded outer cylindrical surface 50 of the spring stop 42 engages a threaded inner cylindrical surface 52 of a wall 54 which collectively sealingly divides an adjustment compartment 56 from the chamber 32. The adjustment compartment 56 is bounded by the cap 14 and the wall 54.
The piston stop 44 is secured by a piston stop lock nut 58 which is threaded onto the surface 46 and is disposed within the adjustment compartment 56. Similarly, the spring stop 42 is secured by a spring stop lock nut 60, which is threaded onto the surface 50 and is also disposed within the adjustment compartment 56.
A threaded inner cylindrical surface 64 of the cap 14 engages a threaded outer cylindrical surface 66 of the main body 12 so that the cap 14 is removably secured thereto. An O-ring 62 provides a seal between the cap 14 and the main body 12.
A secondary passage 68 defined within the main body 12 connects the adjustment compartment 56 to the main passage 16. A secondary check valve 70 is disposed within the secondary passage 68 and includes a ball valve 72 and a valve seat 74.
FIG. 4 illustrates curves showing fuel supply pressure, P, as a function of time, t, during one injection cycle of an injector 9. The dashed curve 76 depicted in FIG. 4 represents a typical profile of the supply pressure which would be delivered to the injector 9 from the injection pump 13 if the fuel injection control mechanism 11 were not connected thereto. The solid curve 78 in FIG. 4 represents the profile of the supply pressure which is delivered to the fuel injector 9 from the injection pump 13 when the fuel injection control mechanism 11 is utilized.
At the beginning of a fuel injection cycle at a time t0, fuel at increasing pressure is supplied by the injection pump 13 to the main passage 16 of the fuel injection control mechanism 11. When the pressure in the main passage 16 reaches a preselected level sufficient to overcome the biasing force applied to the piston 30 by the spring 40, the primary ball valve 26 and the piston 30 are displaced away from the primary valve seat 28 to the position shown in FIG. 3. Initially, the seal 38 substantially prevents flow between the outer surface 36 of the piston 30 and the inner surface 34 of the chamber 32. Once the primary valve 24 is open, pressure in the main passage 16 is momentarily lowered following a time t1 due to the increase in volume resulting from the opening of the primary check valve 24 and the displacement of the piston 30.
Once the volume of the chamber 32 between the piston 30 and the valve seat 28 fills with pressurized fluid at a time t2, the pressure in the main passage 16 thereafter rises and then falls generally in accordance with the solid curve 78 of FIG. 4. The fuel pressure delivered to the fuel injector 9 is controlled such that a preselected valve opening pressure (VOP) is exceeded in the interval between the times t0 and t2 and again exceeded after the time t2 until the end of the injection sequence at a time t3. Thus, a pilot fuel charge is injected between the times t0 and t2 and a main fuel charge is injected between the times t2 and t3.
As noted previously, at the beginning of an injection cycle, the seal 38 initially prevents fuel from passing into the portion of the chamber 32 above the piston 30. However, owing to the high fuel pressures which are encountered, a small amount of fuel eventually escapes or leaks into the portion of the chamber 32 above the piston 30 past the seal 38 and into the adjustment compartment 56 through the clearances between the piston stop 44 and the spring stop 42 and between the spring stop 42 and the threaded cylindrical surface 52 of the wall 54. The O-ring 62 prevents the escape of pressurized fuel from the adjustment compartment 56. Once the pressure in the main passage 16 drops below the fuel pressure in the adjustment compartment 56 at the end of an injection cycle, the secondary check valve 70 opens, permitting leakage fuel to return to the main passage 16 through the secondary passage 68.
The magnitude and time duration of the momentary decrease in pressure between the times t1 and t2 may be controlled by adjusting in situ the positions of the spring stop 42 and the piston stop 44. Specifically, the axial positions of the spring stop 42 and the piston stop 44 relative to the axial position of the ball valve 26 may be adjusted by removing the cap 14, loosening the spring stop lock nut 60 and the piston stop lock nut 58, and then rotating the spring stop 42 and/or the piston stop 44 until the desired positions for the spring stop 42 and the piston stop 44 are attained. The nuts 58, 60 may then be tightened and the cap 14 reinstalled on the main body 12.
Adjustment of the spring stop 42 causes a change in the pre-load of the spring 40, and thus changes the time at which the force exerted thereby is overcome by the pressure in the main passage 16. Consequently, the time t1 may be adjusted within limits imposed by the adjustability of the spring stop 42 and the characteristics of the spring 40.
By adjusting the travel limits of the piston 30 through adjustment of the piston stop 44, the volume of the chamber 32 which must be filled with pressurized fluid before pressure recovery can take place (in other words, the time duration between the times t1 and t2) may be varied as desired. Advantageously, these adjustments can be effected without disconnecting the mechanism 11 from the high pressure fuel line 10 and the fuel injector 9.
It should be noted that the mechanism 11 might alternatively be used with a fluid utilization device other than a fuel injector. Also, other fluid characteristics might alternatively be controlled by the mechanism 11 and other means provided which are accessible from outside the main body 12 for modifying or adjusting such characteristics, if desired.
Numerous modifications and alternative embodiments of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art in view of the foregoing description. Accordingly, this description is to be construed as illustrative only and is for the purpose of teaching those skilled in the art the best mode of carrying out the invention. The details of the structure may be varied substantially without departing from the spirit of the invention, and the exclusive use of all modifications which come within the scope of the appended claims is reserved.
