David A Wright

Title: David A. Wright and Fuel-Control Innovation.

Introduction

David A. Wright is an inventor associated with Brighton, Michigan, and Ford Motor Company Limited. His patent work addresses fuel control in internal combustion engines, particularly when engines use fuels with different combustion characteristics.

Latest Patents

The available information identifies one patent associated with Wright: “Method and Apparatus for Compensating for Errors Associated with a Fuel.” The invention describes an air/fuel control system that uses exhaust oxygen measurements to maintain combustion near stoichiometry. When errors in the fuel-type sensor become significant, especially at high engine speeds and loads, the system adaptively adjusts the fuel-type variable to compensate. This approach is designed to accommodate changing fuels, sensor inaccuracies, and varying engine operating conditions, supporting more accurate fuel control and improved engine performance. Wright is credited with 1 patent.

Career Highlights

Wright’s documented patent contribution focuses on adaptive compensation in engine air/fuel control. The invention combines sensor input with closed-loop feedback, allowing the control system to respond to discrepancies in fuel identification and engine operation.

Collaborations
