... the solution — off-throttle steering — is now taken for granted by most PWC [personal watercraft] consumers. Many may not even realize their craft have the capability for good reason. The inclusion of OTS into most craft is relatively seamless. The system works by detecting two coinciding occurrences, the abrupt release of the throttle and a full turn to port or starboard. Electronic sensors note the two situations, and respond by increasing RPM [revolutions per minute] just enough to once again push some water through the jet nozzle. That small blast of propulsion is just enough to start the craft turning in the direction the driver has turned the handlebars, hopefully allowing the craft to begin an evasive maneuver and avoid the object in the craft's path. 2, record 1, English, - off%2Dthrottle%20assisted%20steering

As the engine demands additional air, the secondary throttle plates open. Even at wide-open throttle(WOT), the secondary plates only open to the full-open position if the engine is able to use this amount of air. This eliminates stumbling at WOT that might occur with mechanical secondary operation if the driver opens the secondaries before the engine requires the additional boost. 6, record 2, English, - wide%2Dopen%20throttle

Direct injection(DI) refers to fuel injected directly into the combustion chamber above the piston. Direct injection has long been used on large diesel engines. Smaller diesels are increasingly adopting direct injection(vs. indirect injection into a pre-chamber). Direct injection also can be used in spark ignition(generally gasoline) engines instead of port fuel injection-for cleaner emissions, increased full throttle power and potentially for lean-burn operation. 4, record 6, English, - direct%20injection%20engine
