Abstract
Gas analyzing techniques for monitoring the amount of oxygen in the exhaust of motor vehicles. An oxygen sensor produces a sensor signal having a sensor value proportional to the partial pressure of the oxygen produced by the motor vehicle. Processing circuitry generates a resulting signal proportional to the sum of the sensor value, another value proportional to the first derivative of the sensor value and a third value proportional to the second derivative of the sensor value. The resulting signal can be used to predict the final sensor value at a point in time earlier than would be otherwise possible.
