    Abstract: A high-pressure fuel pump includes a pump housing which defines a pumping chamber, a fuel inlet which allows low-pressure fuel into the pumping chamber, a fuel outlet which allows high-pressure fuel out of the pumping chamber, and a plunger bore which extends along an axis and opens into the pumping chamber. The high-pressure fuel pump also includes a pumping plunger which reciprocates within the plunger bore along the axis such that reciprocation of the pumping plunger within the plunger bore increase and decreases a volume of the pumping chamber. The pumping plunger includes a sealing ring groove which is concentric with the plunger bore, the sealing ring groove including a sealing ring therein which engages the plunger bore in an interference fit. A diametric clearance greater than 12 microns is provided between the pumping plunger and the plunger bore.

    Abstract: An electrochemical detection system for determining a concentration of a gas in exhaust gases of a combustion process. The system includes an electrolyte, a reference electrode, and a sense electrode that cooperate to form an electrochemical sensor that exposes both the reference electrode and the sense electrode to the exhaust gases. The electrochemical sensor is configured to output a sensor signal indicative of a species concentration of a species gas in the exhaust gases. The sensor signal exhibits a transient error in response to a change in a reference concentration of a reference gas in the exhaust gases. The processor is configured to determine the species concentration based on the sensor signal, and to determine an estimate of the transient error based on an operating condition of the combustion process.

    Abstract: An electrical plug includes a first, second, and third plug terminal, and a terminal retainer configured to secure the first, second, and third plug terminals within the electrical plug. The first, second, and third plug terminal are attached to a first, second, and third electrical wire respectively. The terminal retainer defines a flexible structure in which the first plug terminal is secured, thereby allowing the first plug terminal to move independently of the second and third plug terminals. The flexible structure may be in the form of a cantilever beam, wherein the first plug terminal is secured in a location proximate a free end of the cantilever beam. The terminal retainer consists of a single piece of injection molded plastic. The electrical plug may be part of an electrical vehicle battery charger.
