Title: The Innovative Contributions of Daniel Lee McKay

Introduction

Daniel Lee McKay is a prominent inventor based in Brighton, MI (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of internal combustion engines, holding a total of 11 patents. His work focuses on enhancing engine performance and efficiency through innovative methods.

Latest Patents

One of McKay's latest patents is a "Method for low and high IMEP cylinder identification for cylinder balancing." This system identifies cylinders with the lowest and highest Indicated Mean Effective Pressure (IMEP) by utilizing engine speed derivatives. The method calculates a delta parameter that indicates the difference between the engine speed derivatives for the "weakest" and "strongest" cylinders. Control actions are then implemented to balance the cylinders by increasing torque for the weakest cylinder through various adjustments.

Another notable patent is the "Method for estimation of indicated mean effective pressure for individual cylinders from crankshaft acceleration." This method infers IMEP as total transient indicated engine torque in an internal combustion engine. It involves acquiring crankshaft time stamps to determine cylinder-specific engine velocity and calculating changes in engine kinetic energy to derive the IMEP.
