An apparatus for communication associated with one or more data sets, the apparatus having a processor and a memory communicatively connected to the processor, the memory containing instructions configuring the processor to retrieve a plurality of allies from a database, determine an eligibility status of each ally of the plurality of allies including receiving a data set having one or more target data and determining an eligibility status as a function of the data set, select at least one ally of the plurality of allies as a function of the eligibility status generate an optimized communication protocol as a function of the selection, and modify a graphical user interface as a function of the selection and the optimized communication protocol.

Apparatus and method for communications associated with one or more data sets

An apparatus for customization and utilization of target profiles, the apparatus comprising: a processor and a memory communicatively connected to the processor, the memory containing instructions configuring the processor to receive a data set comprising a plurality of target data, determine a validity status of the plurality of target data within the data set, modify the data set as a function of the validity status, determine one or more protection gaps within the modified data set using a gap finder module, generate one or more target profiles as function of the modified data set, the one or more protection gaps, and a user input, and modify a graphical user interface as a function of one or more target profiles.

Apparatus and methods for customization and utilization of target profiles

A system for mixing ammonia (reductant) with engine exhaust includes an exhaust flow created by a vehicle engine, an ammonia feed line passing into the exhaust flow, an injector connected to the feed line and positioned within the exhaust flow, the injector having at least one port for discharging ammonia into the exhaust flow, and a mixing plate positioned within the exhaust flow downstream of the ammonia injector and stabilizing at least one of either the feed line and the injector. An aspect of the invention is to stabilize the injector by attaching the mixing plate to the feed line to provide such stability. Alternatively or additionally, the mixing plate is attached to the injector to stabilize. The feed line may even pass through the mixing plate.

Mixing plate as stabilizer for ammonia gas injector

Systems and methods for determining amount of solid ammonia stored in a canister used in providing ammonia fluid in exhaust gas after-treatment systems. A microcontroller sets an ammonia level based on the data read from an RFID tag associated with the canister. The data may provide the amount of solid ammonia stored in the canister or a tag number that the microcontroller may use to retrieve the quantity of stored solid ammonia. A measured amount of ammonia fluid used during the treatment process may be used by the microcontroller in determining the amount of solid ammonia depleted from the canister. At predetermined precisions, the amount of depleted ammonia is subtracted from the set ammonia level to determine the remaining amount of solid ammonia in the canister. This determined amount of may be used to reset the ammonia level and be written onto the RFID tag.

Status indicator for amonia cartridge

A reductant mixing system having injector and mixing plate positioned within mixing canister is disclosed. Injector discharges reductant directly into vehicle exhaust gases. Mixing plate effects turbulence to mix gases for NO reduction. Mixing plate includes plurality of arms each having surface area and extending from center of plate, barrier region defined by collective surface areas of arms and substantially centered for diverting fluid flow outward, and first and second cut-outs, which allow the gases diverted by barrier region to pass mixing plate into adjacent canister of exhaust treatment system. Each of the first cutouts is defined by outer edge between adjacent arms, and second tier of cut-outs defined by inner edge proximate end of each arm.

Mixing plate providing reductant distribution

A system and method relate to a reductant dosing for use in the reduction of NOx in an exhaust stream is disclosed. The system and method incorporates a separate first or start-up cartridge and an insulated mantel or housing containing at least one to a plurality of main cartridges. The first and main cartridges store an ammonia adsorbing/desorbing material, which releases ammonia gas upon application of sufficient heat. The start-up cartridge permits the initial release of ammonia gas into the exhaust stream even during start-up of an engine, and because it is separate from the main cartridge, the first cartridge cools faster than the main cartridge and can be replenished with ammonia sooner than the main cartridge. The start-up cartridge is housed in or surrounded by a non-insulating debris shield.
