	Patent 5425338: Railway locomotive diesel engine speed/load control during air starvation
		It is known in the art relating to railway locomotives that operation at advanced throttle in long tunnels with multiple locomotive units often results in substantially increased ambient temperatures that cause the engines to lose power and operate with degraded combustion and resulting heavy smoke.
		The results indicated that operation of the engine under exhaust smoke level conditions of 60% or greater causes a power loss as fuel rate is further increased, apparently as a result of degraded combustion efficiency resulting from inlet air starvation of the engine.
		When a locomotive is operated under conditions of very high ambient temperature, as may occur with multiple unit freight locomotive operation in long railway tunnels, the engine air charge may be reduced, lessening available engine power.

		This concept of passive operational deployment was to remain the norm until the development of active target-seeking mines in the 1960s.
		Despite the relative crudeness of the operation, the North Koreans were able to sink four U.S. minesweepers, damage several destroyers, and—more importantly from a strategic aspect—delay the landing of U.S. troops by a full week at a critical juncture of the war.
		These mines, however, proved to be ineffective at depths near the continental shelf (600 feet) and practically useless when used in deeper waters—the prime operating area of the modern submarine—because of the relatively small target width provided by their stationary explosive charge.
