Abstract: Methods and systems for operating an engine and determining relative compression ratio differences from a reference cylinder are disclosed. In one example, an engine is rotated via a starter or another type of electric machine and engine deceleration rates related to each engine cylinder are determined. The engine deceleration rates form a basis for compression ratio factors for each engine cylinder.

Pressure sensing is performed for a single instrumented cylinder. For remaining non-instrumented cylinders, an engine speed-dependent correction factor is applied that compensates for compression pressure variation between cylinders due to intake valve closing differences.

An end effector assembly is attached to the shaft(s) and includes first and second jaw members movable relative to one another from a spaced apart position to a closer position. A knife channel defined within the jaw members is configured to receive a knife. A trigger assembly is disposed within the cavity and includes a trigger having a first link pivotably coupled at one end to the trigger and slidingly engaged to a second link at the other end. The second link includes a first end telescopically slideable relative to the first link upon actuation of the trigger through a range of motion and a second end pivotably coupled to a third link which, in turn, couples to the knife. Actuation of the trigger translates the knife through the knife channel.
