    Abstract: The method comprises operating a calibration engine, and collecting combustion characteristic data and reference accelerometer signals, which are correlated with each other and stored in a calibration table. The calibration table can be used by an engine to determine a real-time normal combustion characteristic when the engine is operating by collecting a real-time accelerometer sensor signal and cross correlating with the correlated data stored in the calibration table. Accordingly, the apparatus comprises a calibration engine comprising a calibration sensor, a reference accelerometer sensor and a data storage device for storing the collected calibration data that is correlated with the collected reference accelerometer signals, and an engine equipped with an accelerometer sensor, a calibration table and an electronic engine controller programmed to receive real-time accelerometer signals and cross correlate them with reference accelerometer signals to determine a real-time normal combustion characteristic.

    Abstract: Gaseous fuel injection pressures are normally less than liquid fuel injection pressures, resulting in reduced gaseous fuel jet momentum and mixing. A combustion system for an internal combustion engine comprises an intake port and valve, a cylinder and a piston that cooperate to provide a quiescent combustion chamber. The piston includes a re-entrant type piston bowl comprising an outer periphery and a protuberance emanating from the outer periphery. A fuel injector is configured to directly introduce a gaseous fuel into the combustion chamber and an ignition source is provided for igniting the gaseous fuel. A controller actuates the fuel injector such that a gaseous fuel jet is directed towards and splits upon impacting the protuberance forming first and second fuel plumes. The first fuel plume is redirected towards a first mixing zone adjacent a cylinder head and the second fuel plume redirected towards a second mixing zone adjacent the piston bowl.

    Abstract: The disclosed method comprises steps for reconstructing in-cylinder pressure data from a vibration signal collected from a vibration sensor mounted on an engine component where it can generate a signal with a high signal-to-noise ratio, and correcting the vibration signal for errors introduced by vibration signal charge decay and sensor sensitivity. The correction factors are determined as a function of estimated motoring pressure and the measured vibration signal itself with each of these being associated with the same engine cycle. Accordingly, the method corrects for charge decay and changes in sensor sensitivity responsive to different engine conditions to allow greater accuracy in the reconstructed in-cylinder pressure data. An apparatus is also disclosed for practicing the disclosed method, comprising a vibration sensor, a data acquisition unit for receiving the vibration signal, a computer processing unit for processing the acquired signal and a controller for controlling the engine operation based on the reconstructed in-cylinder pressure.

    Abstract: The method comprises operating an engine and collecting a real-time accelerometer signal from an accelerometer sensor. The real-time accelerometer signal is digitized and filtered to isolate data in a frequency range associated with combustion to produce a filtered signal data set.
