TL;DR: This paper has explored extremum seeking (ES) as a method to find the optimal setting of the parameters for optimization of intake, exhaust, and spark timings of a dual-independent variable cam timing engine.
Abstract: Automotive engines have been increasingly equipped with devices that can vary engine parameters with operating conditions. Optimizing these parameters via standard engine mapping and calibration has become a very time consuming task. The specific problem under consideration in this paper is optimization of intake, exhaust, and spark timings to improve the brake specific fuel consumption of a dual-independent variable cam timing engine. We have explored extremum seeking (ES) as a method to find the optimal setting of the parameters. During ES, the engine is running at fixed speed and torque in a dynamometer test cell, while an optimization algorithm is iteratively adjusting the three parameters. For our purposes, we have modified several algorithms available in the literature. The details about the algorithms and the experimental results they produced are presented and discussed in the paper.

20 Feb 2014TL;DR: In this article, a determination is made that a confidence assessment of at least one of the data indicates at least a fault condition, and a first autonomous operation affected by the fault condition is discontinued.
Abstract: Data is collected during operation of a vehicle. A determination is made that a confidence assessment of at least one of the data indicates at least one fault condition. A first autonomous operation affected by the fault condition is discontinued, where a second autonomous operation that is unaffected by the fault condition is continued.

TL;DR: In this article, high resolution X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to provide an initial overview of changes in composition relative to untested surfaces; high-resolution XPS spectra have been used for more detailed, sometimes semi-quantitative, analyses of molecular functional group composition.
