    Abstract: A method for monitoring the performance of a catalytic converter (34) computes the oxygen storage capacity and desorption capacity of a catalyst within the catalytic converter (34). An engine control unit (10) receives mass flow rate information of air from a mass air flow rate sensor (12) and an injector driver (24), and receives electrical signals from an upstream exhaust gas sensor (28) and a downstream exhaust gas sensor (30). A rate modifier is determined from excess air ratios and an adaptation parameter. The engine control unit (10) calculates normalized air fuel ratios for the exhaust gas entering and leaving the catalytic converter (34) and performs numerical integration using the rate modifier to determine the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst in the catalytic converter (34). The calculated oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst can be compared with threshold values to determine the performance of the catalytic converter (34).

    Abstract: A mechanism for controlling raised and lowered positions of a hitch-mounted implement includes a rotatable control knob coupled to a transducer, e.g., a potentiometer, for movement between first and second positions representing the raised and lowered positions, respectively, of the implement. The control knob has a button for locking the mechanism in the implement-transport position and for other purposes. A position knob includes a tang-like stop for limiting rotation of the control knob toward the second position. The position knob thereby "sets" a lowered position of the implement which is somewhat above the lowest possible position of the implement. The position knob may be rotated to locate the stop anywhere between two barriers which set the overall limits of travel of the control knob. Most preferably, the position knob is clamped between a barrier member and a console surface and is frictionally inhibited from rotating.
