Abstract: A housing system for a central electronic processing unit of a heat engine, including a first part connected with heat-developing component elements of the processing unit, this first part contacting over at least a substantial part of its surface, an outer surface of a portion of a fuel mixture induction manifold of the engine.
Abstract: A non-linear position transducer for detecting the position of a valve controlling the rate of flow of air inducted to the cylinders of a heat engine comprising a first means for detecting the position of this valve, and second means coupled to the first means and operable to provide an electrical output signal in non-linear relationship with the position of the valve, and in which these second means comprise an electrical circuit having only passive components.
