ADAPTIVE ANY-FUEL CAMLESS RECIPROCATING ENGINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18301825 titled 'ADAPTIVE ANY-FUEL CAMLESS RECIPROCATING ENGINE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an adaptive reciprocating engine that can use any type of fuel and adjust its operation based on sensor feedback.

• The engine incorporates high-speed optical sensors that collect gas property data using spectroscopic techniques.
• The collected data is used in real-time control loops to adaptively manage electronic actuation schemes.
• The engine can adjust its operation based on the type of fuel being used and the engine load.
• The adaptive control allows for optimized performance and efficiency across a range of operating conditions.
• The use of optical sensors and real-time control loops improves the accuracy and responsiveness of the engine's control system.

Original Abstract Submitted

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.
