    摘要: A device for sensing oil condition includes an oil condition sensor that includes a first sensing plate separated from a second sensing plate by a spacer. Affixed to the first sensing plate and the second sensing plate is a platinum sensing electrode and a resistance temperature device. The sensing electrodes are separated by a gap that is filled with engine oil when the sensor is installed in an oil pan. A processor connected to the sensor can be used to determine when the engine is experiencing a first stage of oil degradation, a second stage of oil degradation, and a third stage of oil degradation. Each stage of degradation is characterized by a first sensor output signal trend, a second sensor output signal trend, and a third output signal trend, respectively.

    摘要: A sensor circuit is coupled to a sensing element for determining a property, such as a dielectric constant, of a fuel suitable where the dielectric constant is used in determining a concentration of ethanol in the gasoline/ethanol blended fuel. The circuit includes an excitation voltage signal generator, a synchronization trigger and a processing circuit configured to generate an output signal indicative of the fuel property (dielectric constant). The excitation voltage signal is applied to the sensing element to produce an induced current signal therethrough. The synchronization trigger is configured to generate a trigger signal when the excitation voltage signal crosses zero volts, at which time the real (resistive) component of the induced current signal is zero. The induced signal is therefore wholly representative of the imaginary component attributable to a capacitance of the sensing element in sensing relation with the fuel, which in turn is dependent on the dielectric constant (and thus ethanol concentration) of the fuel blend itself. The processing circuit is configured to sample the induced signal in response to the trigger signal and produce the output signal. The synchronization scheme provides for a simplified circuit arrangement since there is o need to decompose a signal combining real and imaginary components.

    摘要: A method to calculate a fuel driveability index (DI) value is provided from a sample of fuel in a container as tested by the industry standard ASTM D86 test providing particular temperature data at various percentages of evaporation as the container is heated. The particular temperature data provides a DI value. The same sample of fuel is tested on a sensor capable of retaining a predetermined volume of fuel. Temperature data is monitored at the same percentages of evaporation as the sensor is being heated. Correlation equations are mathematically calculated between the temperature data from the sensor relative to the particular temperature data from the ASTM D86 test and stored in the engine controller of a vehicle. The fuel from the fuel tank is tested by heating a similar on-board sensor having the predetermined volume of fuel and measuring the temperature data as a function of the remaining fuel in the sensor. The stored correlation equations are applied to the measured temperatures to provide the required temperature data to calculate the DI value for the fuel in the fuel tank.

    摘要: A method for improving performance of an SOFC by impregnation of the cathode with metallic silver. A solution of AgNO3 in acetonitrile is imbibed into a perovskite cathode fabricated on a electrolyte layer supported by an anode, defining an SOFC cell. The cathode imbibition may be repeated a plurality of times as may be needed depending upon the thickness of the cathode. The amount of solution soaked into the cathode results a total final weight percent of Ag in the cathode between about 0.5% and about 10%. The cathode is then fired in air at high temperature to drive off the acetonitrile and to reduce the silver ions to metallic silver. In this way, cathode electrical resistance may be reduced by as much as 52%.

    摘要: Activation energy, W, is determined from oil conductivity measurements to thereby provide engine oil condition from a known relationship between viscosity and W. Changes of W at a given temperature as the oil ages are reflective of changes in viscosity of the oil at the same given temperature, wherein changes in W at different temperatures are reflective of changes of viscosity at those respective temperatures as the oil ages. To determine viscosity, the temperature dependence of the oil's conductivity is measured to deduce the value of W at a given temperature. W is monitored as the oil ages. W may also be determined through the ratio of the oil conductivities at two different temperatures by techniques well known in the art by which the viscosity may be determined as the oil ages.

    摘要: A method by which contaminant (soot) content in Diesel engine oil is determined using electrical conductivity measurements of the Diesel oil at a high frequency, or by which contaminant (soot and/or water and/or anitfreeze) content is determined using the ratio of electrical conductivity measurements of the Diesel oil at a high frequency to the electrical conductivity measurements of the Diesel oil at a low frequency. Both the conductivity ratio and the high frequency conductivity are essentially independent of the brand of oil. High frequency is defined to be above 2 MHz whereas low frequency is defined to be D.C. to about 1 kHz.
