  • Patent number: 10489326
    Abstract: Disclosed herein, in one example, is a device for aggregating networks and serving data from those networks to computers for integrating information from various systems in a vehicle, processing that information, and presenting it to consumers of information in a suitable format. The device for aggregating networks, in another example, is specific to a vehicle and serving data from those networks to computers. The device, in one example, generally includes three main pieces: a motherboard containing the electronics embodying the vehicle computer system; software which implements the instructions for the electronics enabling the functionality disclosed herein; and, a case to protect the motherboard and provide a method of mounting the devices.

  • Patent number: 6745620
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatic tuning of fuel injected engines includes an air-fuel ratio sensor, a load device for controlling engine RPM, a digital computer and a display device. The digital computer displays a plurality of throttle positions to an operator who sets the throttle of said engine to correspond to said display of throttle position. The digital computer varies the engine RPM over the operating range of the engine to determine corresponding map values for storage in an injector signal modifier.
