  • Method and apparatus for remote communication and control of engine performance
    Patent number: 7454284
    Abstract: An apparatus for remote identification of combustion performance of a vehicle is provided. The apparatus comprises a vehicle with a throttle device for control of fuel into a multiple cylinder engine of the vehicle. A sensor is provided in operative communication with the vehicle for the purpose of analyzing a vehicle combustion parameter, wherein the sensor can sense combustion of at least one cylinder of the engine. A remote communication device is provided in operative communication with the combustion sensor for communicating the combustion parameter. A remote monitoring network is provided for receiving the combustion parameter from the remote communication device over a network to enable remote monitoring of vehicle performance.

  • Method and apparatus for reducing unwanted vehicle emissions using satellite navigation
    Patent number: 6370472
    Abstract: A vehicle use profile is created by driving a vehicle with a throttle-controlled engine over a predetermined course at a first period of time. A vehicle use parameter is recorded at predetermined intervals along the course along with the throttle level. At a later time, a vehicle is driven over the same predetermined course with the throttle controlled according to the vehicle use profile. The vehicle use parameter can include real time position, speed, and elevation taken from a GPS receiver, or vehicle emission levels, wind resistance, or vehicle speed, taken real time from various sensors, wherein the vehicle is controlled in accord to one or more of the parameters.
