Best Answer

In carbureted cars, this is completely an analog function, from pedal to carburetor throttle body. On electronic fuel injected cars, this is part analog and part digital. The part where your foot controls the position of the accelerator is analog, then this position information is digitized and sent to the cars control computer where the position information is translated into an engine RPM request. This digital request is sent to a sophisticated fuel/air control algorithm which increases/decreases the injector activation control period in relation to the volume of in rushing air measurement. The digital side of an injection control scheme is a pretty delicate balance of engine part design knowledge, such as cam lift/open duration/close timing. This is why if you change a physical feature of an engine that is computer injection controlled, the computer needs to be reprogrammed in order to take advantage of the change.

What is the self servo effect?

The self servo effect is used most commonly applications like drum brakes on vehicles. Most textbooks call this effect "self-energizing" and not "self servo". The rotation of the drum can drag either one or both of the shoes into the friction surface, causing the brakes to bite harder, which increases the force holding them together. This increases the stopping power without any additional effort being expended by the driver, but it does make it harder for the driver to modulate the brake's sensitivity. It also makes the brake more sensitive to brake fade, as a decrease in brake friction also reduces the amount of brake assist. Also, small changes in the coefficient of friction will cause large changes in the pedal force required for braking. This coefficient of friction change can be the result of temperature or more commonly, a wet surface (ie rain, puddles, etc.). The change from drum brakes to disc brakes occurred because of these reasons - disc brakes have better dissipation of heat, less wear, less susceptible to changes in coefficient of friction, and without self-energizing drivers can better gauge pressure placed on the brake pedal to prevent lockup. Not to mention drum brakes also are prone to "bell mouthing", and trap worn lining material within the assembly which can cause braking problems.

Well the automobile brake systems starts with the pedal that is under your dash, when you apply pressure to that pedal it interns applies pressure to the brakes.

What is a good guitar pedal to get a good metal sound with an echo super heavy distortion and a long lasting sound?

A digital distortion pedal will sound better with analog delay than an analog distortion one because of too much warms added to the sound making it mushy and not crunchy enough. A sustain pedal adds a long lasting sound by squeezing down the sound and adding further crunch to your notes/cords. Distortion pedals: digitech, boss and danelectro make good metal type pedals. stay away from fuzz or "big muff" type pedals. any analog delay pedal: boss or cheap pedal will work. compresssor/sustain pedal: boss, frantone, alesis, sqeezer, miranda. you want more of a hard-knee type that is more extreme, not like electro harmonix or bbe. spend money on this!!

Is the emergency brake a hydraulic system that is automatically actuated when the driver depresses the brake pedal?

No, the regular brake system is a hydraulic system that is actuated when the driver depresses the brake pedal. The emergency brake is a direct mechanical system that is manually actuated when the driver pulls the hand lever or depresses the emergency brake pedal, which is separate from the brake pedal.

How control voltage system work?

Sometimes abbreviated to CV, a control voltage is a continuous electrical signal used to manipulate the values of components in an analog circuit... Instead, the pedal is connected to a potentiometer, which acts as a variable resistor providing a circuit for the voltage inside the keyboard.
