    Abstract: Soot content in Diesel engine lubrication oil (28) is determined using electrical resistance measurements of the oil at high frequency. A sensor (10) in the form of a capacitor (26) is immersed in the oil, wherein the oil serves as a dielectric between the plates (22, 24). The capacitance (C) and resistance (R) between the plates change as a function of engine oil condition. An inductor (54) is placed in series with the sensor, and high frequencies are sweeped over a range to fmd resonance where the capacitive and inductive reactances cancel. At this frequency, the resistance (R) of the oil (28) is measured and the condition of the oil thereby determined.

    Abstract: A sensor ( 46 ) for sensing the angular position of a rotatable body ( 10 ) including a stationary transmitter plate ( 12 ) with at least one transmitter electrode ( E, F ), a stationary receiver plate ( 14 ) with at least a first and a second receiver electrode ( A, B, C, D ), and a rotor ( 16 ) formed of a dielectric material and positioned between the facing electrodes ( A , B, C, D, E, F ) of the plates ( 12, 14 ). The rotor ( 16 ) is smaller than the plates ( 12, 14 ) and rotates with the rotatable body ( 10 ) to change the capacitance between the transmitter electrode(s) ( E, F ) and opposed receiver electrodes ( A, B, C, D ). The induced voltages on the receiver electrodes ( A, B, C, D ) indicate the angular position of the rotatable body ( 10 ). Preferably, the sensor ( 46 ) uses a square waveform signal and two transmitter electrodes ( E, F ) receive signals 180 degrees out of phase. Then, four receiver electrodes ( A, B, C, D ) forming two receiver pairs ( AC, BD ) are connected so that the current flowing between each pair is measured and converted to a voltage. A lookup table compares the values of the voltage pairs to known values ( 46, 48 ) from calibration, giving the angular position.

    Abstract: A method to calculate a fuel driveability index (DI) value is provided from a sample of fuel in a container as tested by the industry standard ASTM D86 test (28) providing particular temperature data at various percentages of evaporation as the container is heated. The particular temperature data provides a DI value. The same sample of fuel is tested on a sensor capable of retaining a predetermined volume of fuel (30). Temperature data is monitored at the same percentages of evaporation as the sensor is being heated (32, 34). Correlation equations are mathematically calculated between the temperature data from the sensor relative to the particular temperature data from the ASTM D86 test (36) and stored in the engine controller (26) of a vehicle (38). The fuel from the fuel tank (14) is tested by heating (42) a similar on-board sensor (10) having the predetermined volume of fuel (40) and measuring the temperature data (44) as a function of the remaining fuel in the sensor. The stored correlation equations are applied to the measured temperatures to provide the required temperature data to calculate the DI value for the fuel in the fuel tank (46).

    Abstract: A method for compensating signals from an absolute angular position sensor assembly is used in conjunction with an absolute angular position sensor (10) assembly having an input gear (12) coupled to a rotating shaft (16). The input gear (12) is meshed with an output gear (14) that rotates as the input gear (12) and the shaft (16) rotate. The sensor assembly (10) includes an input gear sensor (22) and an output gear sensor (24) placed in proximity to the input gear (12) and output gear (14), respectively. The gears (12, 14) are configured so as to be sensed by the sensors (22, 24). The method includes determining an angular position compensation value that is used to adjust an absolute position of the input gear (12), which in turn is used to compute the absolute position of the rotating shaft (16). The angular position compensation value for the revolution N + 1 is determined as APCV N+1 = (APRS N - AAPIG N ) / + APCV N, wherein APCV N+1 is the angular position compensation value for the revolution N + 1, APRS N is the angular position of the rotating shaft (16) for the revolution N, AAPIG N is the adjusted angular position of the input gear (12) for the revolution N, is a compensation factor that is greater than one, and APCV N is angular position compensation value for the revolution N.
