摘要： An improved roller 12 for a dynamometer 10 includes a plurality of equally spaced, congruent recesses 16 parallel to the longitudinal axis of the roller 12 and circumferentially positioned around the perimeter of the roller 12. The recesses 16 form a plurality of equally spaced, substantially planar, congruent surfaces 18 parallel to the longitudinal axis of the roller 12 and circumferentially positioned around the perimeter of the roller 12. The surfaces 18 engage the drive wheel of a vehicle and limit slippage and/or creepage between the drive wheel and the roller resulting in increased power transfer between the drive wheel and roller and increased dynamometer accuracy and repeatability.

摘要： A system is provided for calibrating a position sensor having a variable output corresponding to the variable position of a movable member. The system establishes, for the position sensor an original assumed output corresponding to a given position of the movable member, establishes for the position sensor a maximum output corresponding to the given position, the maximum output being greater than or equal to the assumed output, establishes for the position sensor a minimum output corresponding to the given position, the minimum output being less than or equal to the assumed output, determines an actual output of the position sensor and, if the actual output is between the maximum output and the minimum output, the system reestablishes the assumed output as being a function of the original assumed output and the actual output.

摘要： A system detecting leakage of an internal combustion engine having a secondary air passage, bypassing a throttle valve, at an air intake pipe connecting to the intake manifold and a secondary air control valve which regulates opening of the secondary air passage. In the system, when the changes in the absolute manifold pressure and the atmospheric pressure before and after the engine starts rotation, are small, it is determined that the intake manifold may possibly leak and should be monitored. Specifically, the opening of the secondary air passage is changed and the changes in the pressure, etc., before and after the opening is changed, are calculated and based thereon, it is determined whether the intake manifold, in fact, leaks. With this, it becomes possible to detect intake manifold leakage accurately with a simple configuration.

摘要： The method and apparatus according to the invention permits stable driving operation of a motor vehicle at an extremely low vehicle speed by means of an electronic control unit. The internal-combustion engine is automatically adjusted by the control unit to a special rotational speed operation when a defined switch is operated or when a defined set of conditions exists. During special rotational speed operation, the special rotational speed is below the normally permissible idling rotational speed.

摘要： An ignition system for an internal combustion engine includes an ignition coil coupled to a spark plug in a combustion chamber of the engine, and a switch responsive to an ignition control signal for causing a primary current to flow through a primary winding of the ignition coil. A control circuit is configured to generate the ignition control signal so as to produce a plurality of sparks at the spark plug during a combustion event in the cylinder. A combustion detection circuit in sensing relation with the combustion cylinder is configured to generate a combustion detect signal when combustion occurs. The control circuit is further configured to terminate the generation of the ignition control signal during the combustion event in response to the combustion detect signal, thereby terminating multicharge operation when the need for further sparks is no longer present. Unnecessary spark plug wear is avoided.
