    Abstract: A rapid compression machine (RCM) employs an electrical drive to move a piston disposed within a chamber housing. The electrical drive converts electrical power into linear motion of the piston, for example, to compress contents in a reaction chamber defined by the chamber housing and the piston. The temperature and pressure changes induced by the compression can cause reaction of contents within the chamber, for example, autoignition of the contents. The RCM can thus be used to study chemical kinetics. In some embodiments, the electrical drive can also rapidly move the piston in reverse to expand a volume of the reaction chamber, for example, to quench the compression-induced reaction therein. In such embodiments, the RCM may be considered a rapid compression-expansion machine (RCEM) and can be used for speciation studies.

    Abstract: A sensor failure diagnostic apparatus includes a first estimation unit to estimate a mixing ratio of each type of a molecular structure included in a fuel, based on combustion parameters when a combustion of an internal combustion engine is executed in different combustion conditions, among the combustion parameters sensed by a combustion sensor, a second estimation unit to estimate the mixing ratio, based on characteristic parameters sensed by a characteristic sensor, a combustion sensor diagnostic unit to determine whether a failure of the combustion sensor exists, based on a sensed value of the combustion sensor when the combustion is not executed, and a characteristic sensor diagnostic unit to determine whether a failure of the characteristic sensor exists, by comparing the mixing ratio estimated by the first estimation unit with the mixing ratio estimated by the second estimation unit when the combustion sensor diagnostic unit determines the combustion sensor is normal.

    Abstract: In a test run, in order to easily provide a high-quality propulsion torque of a torque generator based on the partially low-quality measured variables available on the test bench, it is foreseen that an inner torque (Mi) of the torque generator (D) is measured and based on the measured inner torque (Mi), from an equation of motion, including the measured inner torque (Mi), a dynamic torque (Mdyn) and a shaft torque (Mw) measured on the output shaft of the torque generator (D), a correction torque ({circumflex over (M)}cor) is estimated, and from the estimated correction torque ({circumflex over (M)}cor) and the measured inner torque (Mi), the propulsion torque (Mv) according to the relation Mv={circumflex over (M)}cor+Mi is computed.

    Abstract: In adjustment processing executed at the same period as waveform analysis processing, a CPU of a microcomputer permits an execution of the waveform analysis processing on condition that the waveform analysis processing has been completed. Thus a period of non-execution of the waveform analysis processing is ensured between a completion of preceding waveform analysis processing to an execution of next waveform analysis processing. Since low priority processing, which has been disabled to be executed, is enabled to be executed, it is possible to stop continuation of disablement of execution of the low priority processing.
