Abstract: An improved fluid mixing device comprising a mixing chamber having end walls and a cylindrical side wall. A first fluid conduit joins the mixing chamber at a first port formed in the first end. A second fluid conduit joins the mixing chamber at a second port formed in the side wall. A second fluid conduit is angled with respect to the mixing chamber to direct fluid flow from the conduit through the second port generally along the wall of the mixing chamber to create a rapid vortexing action. A third conduit joins the mixing chamber at a third port in the second end. A fourth conduit intersects the third conduit, the center lines of the third and fourth conduits offset at the area of intersection.

Abstract: An improved apparatus for facilitating the practice of a method for determining the conversion efficiency of the NOx converter of an oxides of nitrogen analyzer. An improved ozone control assembly facilitates the control of the ozone content of the gas mixture that is applied to the input of the analyzer. An improved gas flow regulating arrangement allows the composition of the gas mixture to be changed without affecting the flow rate thereof. Together, these structures improve the stability and ease of use of the conversion efficiency detector.

Abstract: An improved automotive ignition analyzer is provided for use with electronic ignition systems. A quadrature field magnetic pickup is utilized to detect signals in the secondary circuit of the ignition system. An adaptor including a voltage clamp is connected to the tachometer lead of the electronic ignition system so that a power balance test may be performed in the conventional manner without harming the electronic ignition system.

Abstract: A timing control circuit for a strobe lamp for use in adjusting the timing of an internal combustion engine. A circuit which provides for retarding lamp triggering for setting ignition advance and for advancing lamp triggering for setting ignition retard. A circuit providing for advance and retard selection, the amount of advance or retard, and zero degree triggering for engines with various numbers of cylinders. A circuit with a ramp voltage synchronized with engine timing, a reference voltage for setting the amount of advance or retard, and a comparator which provides a triggering signal for the lamp when the ramp and reference voltages match.
