  • Method of operating an engine and measuring certain operating parameters
    Patent number: 4940033
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine having a luminosity probe and an arrangement for measuring certain parameters such as IMEP, combustion chamber pressure, heat release and the like by measuring luminosity in the chamber and adjusting the running parameters of the engine to obtain the desired luminosity. Also disclosed is an arrangement for maintaining uniformity from cycle to cycle in a given combustion chamber and uniformity combustion in the combustion chambers of a multi-chamber engine.
    Type: Grant

  • Luminosity detector for internal combustion engine, method of operating engine and method of sensing temperature
    Patent number: 4891970
    Abstract: A luminosity and temperature detector for an internal combustion engine and method for measuring luminosity including a light probe and photodiode that receives the light transmitted from the light probe. The photodiode is designed, constructed and biased to operate within the zero temperature coefficient portion of its range for the wavelengths being measured. In addition, the dark current is measured when there is no luminosity due to combustion and this is subtracted from the other readings to obtain temperature compensation. Furthermore, the dark current measurement will indicate the temperature of the photodiode.
