Best Answer

Instead of using a distributor to determine when each cylinder fires, the car's ECU uses camshaft and crankshaft position sensors, along with MAP/MAF and throttle position sensors to determine the optimum time to fire each cylinder for the most power/lowest emissions. As opposed to fixed advance (vacuum or centrifugal) employed in distributors. Transistor Controlled Ignition is commonly referred to as Coil On Plug (COP), Transistor Controlled Ignition is just marketing bumpf to make it sound awesome.

What is the difference between a load-controlled tensile test and a displacement-controlled tensile test?

If the test is set to load-control , it means that the stress will not drop once the fracture become unstable. In displacement control the stress may drop at unstable fracture.

What are the application of pH test in civil engineering?

pH stands for "potential Hydrogen". In the field of civil engineering, pH is a factor that is considered in corrosion control, coagulation and water softening. All the pH related processes are controlled by civil engineers. pH test is beneficial to check the A controlled value of pH is desired in water supplies, sewage treatment and chemical process plants.


What is a mobile crane and what are the uses?

A mobile crane is a cable-controlled hydraulic crane with a boom. Some uses include hauling cargo, as well as hauling large loads for construction.


What is workability?

Workability refers to the ease of which the soil can be physically controlled for the purpose of cultivation. For example, if tilling or digging the soil produces cloddy or plate like clumps, the workability is low. From what I already know, clay soils aren't the best in terms of workability because it clumps together and is difficult to break up, whilst sandy soils usually have a much better workability but tend to be poor for cultivation because of other reasons.

What is FET?

FET is abbreviation of Field Effect Transistor. This is a transistor in which current is controlled by voltage only and no current is drawn. It is a high input impedence device and is used in computers, telecommunication and control circuits. This transistor is better in certain parameters as compared to BJT, that is Bipolar Junction Transistor.
