  • Publication number: 20170307460
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and systems for automatically detecting and calculating an offset of an engine-based pressure measurement transducer after engine shutdown, and applying a correction factor to subsequent pressure measurements of the transducer once the engine is in operation.

  • Patent number: 9632142
    Abstract: Feedback from a solenoid is achieved by adding at least one variable resistance in parallel with the solenoid current feedback circuit for position detection. The resistance has current flowing therethrough when a switching device actuated by the solenoid is in one position or transitions from one position to at least one other position. A feedback current may be measured in the current feedback circuit and the position of the switching device in response to actuation thereof by the solenoid may be determined from the measured feedback current.
    Type: Grant
