  • Combustion temperature estimation system and method for an engine management system
    Patent number: 8364420
    Abstract: A flame temperature estimator includes an adiabatic flame temperature module that estimates an adiabatic flame temperature. A temperature reduction module estimates a temperature reduction for the adiabatic flame temperature based on an air-to-fuel ratio of an engine. A combustion temperature trend module generates a combustion temperature trend based on the temperature reduction and the adiabatic flame temperature.
    Type: Grant

  • On board diagnostics (obd)
    Publication number: 20060224283
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for on board diagnostics for a system, comprising carrying out one or more diagnostic steps with respect to one or more functions of the system. An electronic horizon system, which provides information relating to prospective system-influencing factors, is used to determine the optimum conditions in which to carry out at least one of the diagnostic steps.
