20100078421 | GLOW PLUG ADN HEATER ASSEMBLY THEREFOR WITH AN IMPROVED CONNECTION BETWEEN A CENTRAL ELECTRODE AND A HEATER PROBE OF THE HEATER ASSEMBLY - A glow plug has an annular metal shell and a heater assembly including a central electrode and a heater probe. The metal shell is configured to receive the heater assembly therein. The central electrode has an elongate body extending between a terminal end configured for electrical communication with a power source and an attachment end. The heater probe has an elongate body extending between a proximal end and a free distal end. Either the attachment end of the central electrode or the proximal end of the heater probe has a recessed pocket with a tapered inner surface converging axially extending axially therein. The other of the attachment end of the central electrode or the proximal end of the heater probe has a tapered outer surface configured for receipt in the recessed pocket. | 04-01-2010 |

20120249006 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ARC FORMATION IN A CORONA DISCHARGE IGNTITION SYSTEM - A system and method for controlling an arc formation in corona discharge ignition system is provided. The system includes a corona igniter for receiving energy at a voltage and providing a corona discharge. An energy supply providing the energy to the corona igniter at a voltage. The system also includes a corona controller for initiating a decrease in the voltage of the energy provided to the corona igniter in response to the onset of arc formation. The voltage is decreased until the arcing is depleted, and then the voltage is increased again to resume the corona discharge. Controlling the arc formation provides improved energy efficiency during operation of the corona discharge ignition system | 10-04-2012 |
20120249163 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING ARC FORMATION IN A CORONA DISCHARGE IGNITION SYSTEM - A system and method for detecting arc formation in a corona discharge ignition system is provided. The system includes a driver circuit conveying energy oscillating at a resonant frequency; a corona igniter for receiving the energy and providing a corona discharge; and a frequency monitor for identifying a variation in an oscillation period of the resonant frequency, wherein the variation in the oscillation period indicates the onset of arc formation. The method includes supplying the energy to the driver circuit and to the corona igniter; obtaining the resonant frequency of the energy in the oscillating driver circuit; and identifying a variation in the oscillation period of the resonant frequency. | 10-04-2012 |
