Abstract: A system includes a turbocharger, a wastegate, and one or more thermoelectric generators. The turbocharger includes a turbine and a compressor, and is configured to be coupled to an internal combustion engine. The wastegate is coupled to the turbine, and is disposed within a wastegate enclosure. The one or more thermoelectric generators generate energy from engine exhaust flowing through the wastegate. Each of the thermoelectric generators comprising includes a hot side coupled to the wastegate enclosure, a cold side coupled to a coolant supply, and one or more thermoelectric materials disposed between the hot side and the cold side.

Abstract: A system includes a cylinder, a piston, a sensor configured to detect vibrations of the cylinder, piston, or both that correspond with varying pressures within the cylinder, and a controller coupled to the sensor. The controller is configured to receive a first signal from the sensor corresponding with first vibrations of the cylinder and to deduce from the first signal a first operating value of a parameter indicative of peak firing pressure at a first time, to compare the first operating value with a baseline value of the parameter indicative of peak firing pressure to detect a change in peak firing pressure, to receive a second signal from the sensor corresponding with second vibrations of the cylinder and to deduce from the second signal a second operating value of the parameter indicative of peak firing pressure at a second time, and to compare the second operating value with the baseline value to confirm the change in peak firing pressure.
