ignition control
21AMC Computerized Engine Control — The Computerized Engine Control or CEC system was an engine management system designed and used by American Motors and Jeep from 1980 1990, on the AMC 258 engine.CEC was unique in that almost all of its sensors and actuators were digital; instead …
22Automobile emissions control — covers all the technologies that are employed to reduce the air pollution causing emissions produced by automobiles. Exhaust emissions control systems were first required on 1966 model year vehicles produced for sale in the state of California,… …
23Piezo ignition — is a type of ignition that is used in portable camping stoves, gas grills and some lighters. It consists of a small, spring loaded hammer which, when a button is pressed, hits a crystal of PZT or quartz crystal. Quartz is piezoelectric, which… …
24Electronic stability control — (ESC) is a computerized technology [1][2] that may potentially improve the safety of a vehicle s stability by detecting and minimizing skids.[3] When ESC detects loss of steering control, it automatically applies the brakes to help steer the… …
25Ship gun fire-control system — Mk 37 Director c1944 with Mk 12 (rectangular antenna) and Mk 22 orange peel Ship gun fire control systems (GFCS) enable remote and automatic targeting of guns against ships, aircraft, and shore targets, with or without the aid of radar or optical …
26automatic ignition — Rapid, out of control combustion of the air fuel mixture in a spark ignition engine, but not caused by an external ignition source such as a spark, flame; instead, its caused by a hot spot such as a carbon deposit in the roof of the combustion… …
27electronic spark control — (ESC) The timing of the ignition by means of an ignition map, either integrated into the mapped ignition systems or available as a separate module to enhance transistorized ignition systems. Also called electronic spark timing …
28grid-controlled ignition system — A microprocessor controlled ignition system with electronic ignition timing by means of an ignition map stored in the control unit memory …
29high energy ignition system — (HEI) An ignition system which provides more ignition power (higher voltage at higher amperage) than normal systems; a typical HEI includes an electronic control unit and magnetic pick up in combination with mechanical ignition timing …
30map-controlled ignition — A microprocessor controlled ignition system with electronic ignition timing by means of an ignition map stored in the control unit memory. The engine speed is sensed by Hall generators at the distributor or magnetic pick ups on the crankshaft,… …
