The oxygen sensor(also known as an O₂ sensor, lambda sensor, or EGO sensor) is one of the most critical sensors on a fuel-injected engine. It resembles a spark plug and is located in the exhaust manifold between the turbo and catalytic converter. When at operating temperature it becomes a miniature battery which generates a voltage based on the differential between the oxygen content of the exhaust gas and the oxygen content of the ambient air. By this method it measures the amount of oxygen in the exhaust stream, allowing the ECM to compensate to some degree for various fuel grades, engine wear, altitude changes, usage of oxygenated fuel, and more. Another big benefit is the ability to keep emissions of carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and unburned hydrocarbons as low as possible.  3, fiche 1, Anglais, - oxygen%20sensor

La consommation de carburant et l'émission de gaz polluants peut être drastiquement réduite en ajustant aussi précisément que possible le mélange air/essence qui alimente le moteur. Le dosage optimum (14.7 kg d'air pour 1 kg de carburant) correspond à l'indice 1 d'un coefficient arbitrairement choisi, appelé Lambda; ce mélange est aussi appelé stœchiométrique. Afin de mesurer précisément ce dosage, un capteur d'oxygène est placé en sortie de moteur, avant le catalyseur. Ce capteur est relié au calculateur (ECU), et renseigne en permanence ce dernier sur la proportion de dioxygène (O2) à l'issue de la combustion du mélange air/essence. Si le mélange est pauvre, le dioxygène est en excès et vis versa.  3, fiche 1, Français, - sonde%20d%27oxyg%C3%A8ne%20des%20gaz%20d%27%C3%A9chappement

... the gun barrels are fitted with muzzle velocity sensors, which are linked to the fire control computer, so the actual speed of the round can be taken into account when the computer calculates the lead angle necessary to hit a moving target. This is necessary as the speed of the round when leaving the barrel may vary depending on the ammunition manufacture date and age, moisture content, the barrel wear, etc.  3, fiche 2, Anglais, - muzzle%20velocity%20sensor

Projectile muzzle velocity sensor mounted on T-84 MBT [main battle tank] turret roof. As an option, the tank fire-control system can also include a projectile muzzle velocity sensor, which measures the velocity in question and feeds information to the tank's fire control ballistic computer after each firing of the gun to allow to automatically correct for gun bore wear, charge temperature and other factors.  2, fiche 2, Anglais, - muzzle%20velocity%20sensor
