Latest Patents
Allgor holds a patent for a "Method and apparatus for feature extraction from internal combustion." This invention involves a sophisticated method and apparatus designed to extract and analyze features in real time from primary or secondary ignition waveforms. The system includes engine probes, a sampling device, and a processor that identifies key features such as peak firing height, firing line duration, firing line slope, firing line noise, post firing line duration, primary oscillations, and dwell interval duration. These features are compared against fixed thresholds and running averages to detect anomalies. The ability to report anomalies as they occur allows for the diagnosis of both transient events and steady conditions. Additionally, waveforms, whether they contain anomalies or not, can be stored and retrieved as needed.
