If this works, I expect that either CAT or Wartsilla will buy the patent, to keep it off the market.
Even if thy bought the patent, China and the rest of the world will ignore the patent and start using them on their machines. If they really are that much better the foreign machines become cheaper to operate and the customers will want to go that way. It is a world market now days.
