Integrated engine combustion monitoring system has light communication channel through which light signal received by sensor, propagates to electronic system

摘要

A sensor including an infrared (IR) window, is embedded in a cylinder head gasket (208) near a cylinder wall (210), and connected to a structure including a light communication channel (LCC) (200). The signal received by the sensor propagates through the LCC, to an electronic system (202) which processes the signal.
