摘要:
A method for detecting fuel leaking into an oil pan containing oil which is used to lubricate an internal combustion engine utilizes a plurality of sensors. The method includes the step of measuring a plurality of parameters of the oil using each of the plurality of sensors to create measured values. A fuel leakage value is calculated incorporating each of the measured values. The method then determines when the fuel leakage value exceeds a predetermined value.

A web based navigation system for a land vehicle accesses a land navigation website and obtains land navigation data for traveling from a selected starting point to a selected destination. The land navigation data is transferred from the computer to the land vehicle wirelessly or by a portable data storage device and navigation instructions are presented to the driver of the land vehicle visually and/or audibly via a user interface device in the vehicle based on the land navigation data.

摘要:
An antenna arrangement includes an antenna circuit for receiving and/or transmitting radio frequency signals. A signal feed circuit is coupled with the antenna circuit. A performance-adjusting device includes at least one of: a structure feed switch selectively interconnecting the antenna circuit and the signal feed circuit; a variable impedance element disposed in the antenna circuit or the signal feed circuit; and a switchable parasitic element coupled to the antenna circuit. A controller controls the performance-adjusting device.
