A removable pile cap is disclosed for use with a pile that is driven into the ground. The removable pile cap comprises a top member and at least one pile member positionable between at least a first orientation and a second orientation. The top member and the at least one pile member are connected together. When the at least one pile member is in the first orientation it is mountable over the pile's upper end. When the at least one pile member is in the second orientation it maintains frictional engagement with at least part of the pile's above-ground portion. The top member may be supported by the pile's upper end and is capable of accepting one or more structural foundation elements.

A method and apparatus for controlling the operation of an internal combustion engine to reduce the presence of free oxygen in the exhaust gas of the engine. The method and apparatus provides for the internal combustion engine to be operated with a fuel-to-air ratio in excess of the stoichiometric ratio such that the exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine is devoid or substantially devoid of all free oxygen and excess unburned hydrocarbon fuel is expelled with the exhaust gas from the engine.

Apparatus and method for operating an internal combustion engine to reduce free oxygen contained within engine exhaust gas

Disclosed is a method of producing a pressurized stream of substantially inert gas. The method comprises collecting the exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine, directing the exhaust gases into the intake of a compressor for compressing to a desired pressure, and recirculating a portion of the compressed exhaust gases back to the intake of the compressor such that the pressure of the exhaust gases within said compressor intake is maintained above atmospheric pressure. Also disclosed is an apparatus for producing a pressurized stream of substantially inert gas utilizing the described method.
