TEMPERATURE VARIABLE HUD MOTOR CONTROL
A heads up display arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a rotatable mirror positioned to reflect a light field produced by a picture generation unit such that the light field is again reflected by a windshield of the motor vehicle and is then visible to a human driver of the motor vehicle as a virtual image. A stepper motor is coupled to the rotatable mirror and rotates the mirror. A stepper motor driver is coupled to the stepper motor and sets a torque of the stepper motor. A temperature sensor detects a temperature associated with the stepper motor. An electronic processor is communicatively coupled to the temperature sensor and to the stepper motor driver. The electronic processor transmits a signal to the stepper motor driver to set a target torque for the stepper motor. The target torque is dependent upon the detected temperature.
System and method for diagnosing integrity of a cryogenic fuel tank
A fuel system for a machine may include a fuel tank configured to hold cryogenic fuel, a pressure sensor, and an electronic control module (ECM). The ECM may determine a change in pressure of the fuel between a first time and a second time, determine a predicted change in pressure of the fuel between the first time and the second time, and determine that the change in pressure and the predicted change in pressure is greater than a threshold. Based on the change in pressure and the predicted change in pressure being greater than the threshold, a notification may be displayed associated with an integrity of the fuel tank.
