General Motors introduced the first Stop-Start system on the 2014 Chevy Malibu as standard equipment and now have over 21 models using Stop-Start technologies. Implementing automated stop-start technology in today’s vehicle’s is a cost-effective way to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions. A Stop-Start system operates by shutting off the engine when the vehicle comes to a complete standstill, and automatically re-starts the engine when the driver releases the brake pedal. This operating strategy is often utilized in full hybrid-electric vehicles that have powerful electric systems but is also becoming more popular in non-hybrid vehicles that use traditional starter/battery configurations. Topics include: -Dual battery and control methods used to isolate the electrical systems during Autostop/Start -Robust starter motor technologies-Dual Tandem Starter design and operation -Capacitor and DC-DC (Transformer) Control Stop-Start systems -Common components found on each system •Stop-Start input and output control logic -DTC descriptors and scan tool diagnostic evaluation methods -Important best service practices to handle working on GM vehicles equipped with Stop-Start systems.		4 hrs, 0 minILTVirtualTom Smith

Since man began to build machines for industrial use, and especially since motors have been used to power them, problems of vibration reduction and isolation have engaged engineers. Gradually, as vibration isolation and reduction techniques have become an integral part of machine design, the need for accurate measurement and analysis of mechanical vibration has grown. Over the last 15 or 20 years a whole new technology of vibration measurement has been developed which is suitable for investigating modern highly stressed, high speed machinery. Using piezoelectric accelerometers to convert vibratory motion into understandable data, the process of measurement and analysis is efficiently performed by the versatile abilities of these electronics.
