For reduction of engine-out emissions and improvement of fuel economy, closed-loop control of the combustion process has been explored and documented by many researchers. In the closed-loop control, the engine control parameters are optimized according to the estimated instantaneous combustion metrics provided by the combustion sensing process. Combustion sensing process is primarily composed of two aspects: combustion response signal acquisition and response signal processing. As a number of different signals have been employed as the response signal and the signal processing techniques can be different, this paper did a review work concerning the two aspects: combustion response signals and signal processing techniques. In-cylinder pressure signal was not investigated as one of the response signals in this paper since it has been studied and documented in many publications and also due to its high cost and inconvenience in the application.

In the research and development of the precise closed-loop control system in large hydraulic press, the touch screen and PLC are frequently applied to design, debug and test for the system. Though a better closed-loop control characteristic can be acquired after repeated testing by this way, the comprehensive state data of hydraulic press are unable to get, which leads to a long research cycle and also restricts the maintenance and upgrade with the equipment in the later period. In order to obtain the whole state information of hydraulic press easily and effectively, a monitor system of precise closed-loop control in large hydraulic press is designed. Based on reasonable cooperation of sensors and high-speed data-acquisition card, high-speed and precise signal acquisition is realized. In addition, data-acquisition software program is designed base on LabVIEW, it can achieve the functions of collecting, storing, displaying and analyzing data. Through the real measuring and analyzing on a certain large ceramic hydraulic press, the status of key parameters can be acquired effectively during the whole pressing process. So the monitoring system supplies the significant data basis to the precise closed-loop control, accelerates the design and development of high characteristic precise closed-loop control and also strongly supports to the maintenance and upgrade with the equipments in the later period.

Parametric loudspeaker systems have been widely used for projecting highly directional audible sound to a specified area. However, the demodulated signal from parametric loudspeaker suffers from high distortion since the nonlinear interaction among primary waves also generate harmonics. In order to reduce distortion, signal acquisition and digital signal processing techniques can be applied at the receiver. In this paper, a parametric loudspeaker and receiver system is designed to reduce distortion using median filtering and mean filtering at the receiver. Compared to conventional systems, the demodulated signal using proposed techniques exhibits lower distortion.

High sensitivity and fast acquisition are two important goals that must be considered in the development of signal processing techniques for a GNSS acquisition function to meet the demands for LBS in GNSS-challenged environments, such as indoor and urban canyon. This chapter introduces the fundamentals of GNSS acquisition functions, GNSS acquisition techniques for new GNSS signals, and GNSS acquisition techniques achieving high sensitivity and fast acquisition. Therefore, this chapter contains useful information for engineers who study the fundamentals and principles of GNSS acquisition and the state-of-the-art GNSS signal acquisition techniques for weak signals.

Closed loop control based on cylinder pressure measurement has been investigated for over 20 years. The aim has been to improve combustion control and online engine diagnostics. However the price of cylinder pressure sensors and the high demands on processor capacity have been preventing the development. Lately however sensor technologies have improved and as a result costs have been reduced. The purpose of this work is to show the large amount of information that can be read out from the cylinder pressure curve and to evaluate a cylinder pressure based closed loop engine control.

The objective of the spark advance control technique discussed in this paper is to provide a schedule which is optimum in the presence of changing engine and environmental conditions. The paper shows the benefits of adaptable spark control, describes the ability of a cylinder pressure based system to adapt to optimum spark on a single cylinder laboratory engine and describes the transient performance of a controller mechanized in the laboratory. Averaged over the entire engine speed-load operating regime, the closed loop system yields average brake horsepower within 0.1 percent of optimum based solely on the cylinder pressure information. The system has demonstrated a transient settling time of 0.1 second.
