The document discusses determining the air-fuel ratio (A/F) of an engine using exhaust gas analysis. It defines lambda as the ratio of actual oxygen to demanded oxygen in combustion. A lambda of 1.000 indicates perfect stoichiometric balance. The document explains how lambda measurement is necessary for efficient catalytic converter operation and improved vehicle performance and emissions.
Carbon monoxide is formed during incomplete combustion when there is too much fuel or not enough oxygen. High levels of CO indicate a rich mixture and can be fatal if inhaled over a short period in high enough concentrations. High CO can be caused by issues like air intake restrictions, fuel leaks, carburetor malfunctions, exhaust leaks, or catalytic converter problems that result in a rich air-fuel mixture. Carbon dioxide is considered a greenhouse gas rather than a pollutant and normal tailpipe CO2 levels range from 13-17%, with CO2 and CO levels moving in opposite directions depending on whether the mixture is rich or lean.
The document provides specifications for passing an oxygen sensor test:
- The minimum voltage must be between 0-175mV (artificially full lean).
- The maximum voltage must be between 800mV-1V (artificially full rich).

3) Students may appeal their financial aid dismissal by submitting an appeal form providing documentation of an extenuating circumstance, along with an educational plan and transcripts. The appeal does not guarantee reinstatement of aid.
The document compares the existing online orientation to Cynosure's orientation, noting that the existing orientation works across devices, has closed captions, and a completion rate of around 80% over two years, while Cynosure's orientation has issues on some devices, lacks closed captions, has questionable ADA compliance, and reliability problems. It suggests developing a new orientation in-house using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and XML for full ADA compliance across all devices that would also save money to fund other projects.
The document outlines Victor Valley College's Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) policy for financial aid recipients. It states that students must meet minimum GPA, completion rate, and program length standards to remain eligible for aid. SAP is reviewed annually after spring grades, and students who do not meet the standards will be dismissed from aid programs. The document describes the standards and evaluation process in detail. It also provides instructions for appealing dismissal, which requires an explanation of extenuating circumstances and supporting documentation. The appeal decision is final and cannot be overturned.

2. Project Description
A detailed review of the exterior lighting
on the main campus and at the Regional
Public SafetyTrainingCenter was
conducted by Compass Energy Solutions
(CES).The analysis showed that
retrofitting existing fluorescent
technology to LED lighting technology
would not only add significant lighting
benefits for visitors, students and staff,
but would also save the district on
operational expenses.
The project includes retrofitting parking
lot lights, wallpacks, security lights, and
walkway lighting.
3. Project Benefits
This project is an outstanding
example of state-of-the-art lighting
design and construction. It is
attractive, fully automatic, safe and
reliable. LEDs are highly efficient,
typically using 85% less than an
incandescent blub and 50% less
than a compact fluorescent bulb.
LEDs last a very long time – up to
100,000 hours or more. Because of
their long life, they come with
excellent warranties, making them
a smart investment for educational
facilities.
