US Patent:

45817081, Apr 8, 1986

Filed:

Oct 18, 1984

Appl. No.:

6/662361

Inventors:

William F. Van Ostrand - Hagerstown IN
Jeffrey M. Sylvia - Richmond IN

Assignee:

Laboratory Equipment Corp. - Mooresville IN

International Classification:

G01F 100

US Classification:

364510

Abstract:

A portable computer based motor vehicle performance monitoring system which performs vehicle characteristic measurements and calculations. The system uses a distance sensor means, a fuel volume flow sensor means, and a fuel temperature sensor means for sensing various vehicle performance characteristics. The system has a computer controlled start/stop feature. It also has a user-prompting programming feature. It also has a combined liquid fuel volume and mass meter which uses a mathematical algorithm which converts volume data to mass data using a temperature sensitive function.
