Gone are the days of carburetors and distributors, replaced by a variety of sensors that help a car's computer get the maximum performance out of the engine. A camshaft position sensor (or any ...

Moreover, regardless of the engine fuel type (e.g., diesel, gasoline, ethanol, fuel cell, hybrid, etc.) drivetrain performance and fuel consumption would still benefit from optimization. At WMU, a ...

The engine’s knock sensor (or sensors) detects preignition and detonation, potentially damaging forms of abnormal combustion. Though full-blown knocking and pinging are audible to the human ear ...

The manifold absolute pressure sensor reads the amount of pressure or vacuum (also called “engine load”) in the intake manifold, where outside air is divvied up in proper amounts and ...

In avionics, the integration of advanced sensor technologies is revolutionizing aircraft safety and performance. Two key innovations driving this trend are engine […] ...

Pegasor, which sounds like the name of really bitchin' one-legged T-Rex, says that the sensor can be installed in the engine exhaust stream without the need for complex sampling and dilution ...
