  • Motor vehicle performance monitoring system
    Patent number: 4593357
    Abstract: A portable computer based motor vehicle performance monitoring system which performs vehicle characteristic measurements and calculations. The system uses a distance sensor means, a fuel volume flow sensor means, and a fuel temperature sensor means for sensing various vehicle performance characteristics. The system has a computer controlled start/stop feature. It also has a user-prompting programming feature. It also has a combined liquid fuel volume and mass meter which uses a mathematical algorithm which converts volume data to mass data using a temperature sensitive function.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 19, 1982
    Date of Patent: June 3, 1986
    Assignee: Laboratory Equipment Corp.
    Inventors: William F. Van Ostrand, Jeffrey M. Sylvia
