  • CAMLESS RECIPROCATING ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20250059925
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a camless reciprocating engine control system that uses laser absorption spectroscopy (LAS) sensors and artificial intelligence/machine learning to optimize engine operation. The control system evaluates LAS data in real time or substantially real time to optimize the operation of the engine through dynamic management of camless engine components such as intake valves, exhaust valves, fuel injectors, spark plugs, and variable compression mechanisms.

  • Adaptive any-fuel camless reciprocating engine
    Patent number: 12173664
    Abstract: An adaptive, any-fuel reciprocating engine using sensor feedback integration of high-speed optical sensors with real-time control loops to adaptively manage the electronic actuation schemes over a range of engine loads and fuels. The engine uses one or more optical sensors to collect specific types of gas property data via a spectroscopic technique to adaptively control various components within the engine.
