Situation SummarySituation Summary In 1996, a Statement of Principles pertaining to non-
road diesel engines was signed between EPA, CaliforniaARB and engine makers Including Caterpillar, Cummins, Deere, Detroit Diesel (Daimler-Benz),
Deutz, Isuzu, Komatsu, Kubota, Mitsubishi, Navistar, New Holland, Wis-Con, and Yanmar
Jointly, these and other manufacturers build between 1.1m and 1.4m newdiesel engines in a typical year, some of which will be kept in operationfor up to 20+ years, but most of which (our research shows) will a have anaverage working life of 8.38 years (18,000 operating hrs./628,500miles)
That means a field population of 9.2 to 11.7 units (conservatively)
In 1997, EPA adopted new emission standards foron-road diesel truck and bus engines.
The goal is to significantly reduce CO, HC, Non-methane hydrocarbons, NOx, and Particular Matteremissions

Tier 1-3 Standards.
The first federal standards (Tier 1) for new dieselengines were adopted in 1994 for engines over 50 hp,
and were to be phased-in from 1996 to 2000. In 1998 regulations expanded Tier 1 standards to
include engines under 50 hp and added more stringentTier 2 and Tier 3 standards for all equipment with
phase-in schedules from 2000 to 2008. The Tier 1-3 standards are met through advanced engine
design, with use of exhaust gas after treatment in somecases

Tier 4 Standards.
On May 11, 2004, the EPA signed the final ruleintroducing Tier 4 emission standards, which are to be
phased-in over the period of 2008-2015[69 FR 38957-39273, 29 Jun 2004].
The Tier 4 standards require that emissions of ParticularMatter and NOx be further reduced by about 90%.
These levels of emission reductions can be achievedthrough the use of control technologies and today mostinclude advanced exhaust gas after treatment

Situation SummarySituation Summary
Manufacturers have reacted appropriately, and rapidlydesigned and built diesel engines that better respond tothe Tier 4 emissions standards with new controltechnologies (i.e. Cats ASERT, Navistars EGR)
But to meet the 2010 regulations, even the majority ofthese, as well as the older engines already in use, willrequire exhaust gas after treatment with such things as: catalytic reduction units
Lean NOx absorbers Particulate traps and filters Oxidation catalysts Etc.

Radical Change Through InnovationRadical Change Through Innovation Revolutionary and proprietary Next Generation green technology
Uses a unique and proprietary ceramic-based solid-stateelectron/proton conducting electrode imbedded in ceramicelectrolyte Mixed Phase Ceramic Oxide Catalyst ("MPCOCTM")
technology capable of breaking down exhaust pollution emissionsinto their non-pollutant elements. Eclipses MPCOCTM is fundamentally different from other
approaches, and enables Eclipse to produce catalyst formulationswith superior catalytic performance and a high degree of durability.
By applying DC power across this unique ceramic grid this
technology creates a gas to gas decomposition separating O2 & Hmolecules from toxic gases
SOx, NOx, CO, CO2, unburned Hydro Carbons (HCs), and othergases containing oxygen, are turned into S, N2, C, H and O2, whichare non-toxic, pure gases

TestingTesting
Technology has been independently tested*
Raw engine exhaust was pulled from a modern Fiatdirect injection turbo-diesel engine out sampling port
specifically used for collecting engine-out emissions. The exhaust was piped to the test bench platform
through a heated sample line.
A Mass Spectrometer emission analyzer was used forthe test.
The Mass Spectrometer had two heated probes with onemeasurement head.
*The referenced test was conducted by Delphi Automotive in 8/00. Additional testing was conducted by Eaton Automotive in 1/05 andDiablo Analytical, Inc., for Hewlett Packard in 10/99 (Oxygen Generator and Oxygen Sensor)

Technology has been independently tested The test device was setup between the two sample
streams. The first sample probe allowed collection of base
engine exhaust emissions and measurement of thesample flow through the system.
The second probe was used to measure the NOx and
other gases emissions after the test device. In order to collect the data for these tests, engine outbase measurement was taken first, then the probes wereswitched to measure the post test device emissionvalues through the test device.

Technology has been independently tested The sampling process was conducted twice for both
engine-out and post device emissions. The engine speed and load for the test was set at 2400
rpm and 80 N-M of torque (as it is the standard testpoint utilized for NOx emission standard testing and forwhich extensive background data exists).
The total flow through the exhaust system was 52.9gm/sec (2451126.437 cc/min).
This rate of flow is consistent with an average on-highway truck cruising speed of 60 MPH.
