Abstract
A device for processing a signal of pressure measurement of an internal combustion engine combustion chamber. The device obtains, by a low-pass filter of the pressure measuring signal, a filtered signal, subtracts the filtered signal from the pressure measuring signal to obtain a difference signal, compares the difference signal to a predetermined threshold value, and determines a combustion starting time as a time at which the difference signal reaches the predetermined threshold value.

11. A device for processing a pressure-measurement signal of a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine to determine an instant of start of combustion, comprising:
-
a low-pass filter configured to obtain a filtered signal from the pressure-measurement signal; means for subtracting the filtered signal from the pressure-measurement signal to obtain a difference signal; means for comparing the difference signal with a predetermined threshold value; and means for determining the instant of start of combustion as an instant at which the difference signal attains the predetermined threshold value. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
