As we strive to achieve efficiency, the resulting significant and exciting
challenges are once again positioning the automobile industry as theindustry of choice for the world’s best and brightest engineering minds.
Vast opportunities await those companies and individuals that dare to becreative and dream big.
Now more than ever, the entire industry must work together to collectand elevate this talent in order to realize responsible mobility and reward
those within the engineering community that are good stewards of our
natural resources.
Today, efficiency is the new formula for success essential to propel the next
generation of automobiles.

Department
Engine, Emissions and Vehicle Research Division
Office of Automotive Engineering at Southwest Research Institute
Mr. Carroll has extensive experience in emissions testing ofboth small and large non-road spark-ignited engines, including
baseline emissions, emissions durability, and development ofemission reduction strategies. He has led projects to develop
calibrations for multi-fuel industrial engines, and certify theengines to regulatory standards.
Mr. Carroll has also been involved in baseline emission testingand development of marine engines including personal
watercraft, outboard, and inboard and sterndrive engines. He
has developed engine calibrations, and catalyst equipped watercooled exhaust systems to reduce marine engine emissions.
Mr. Carroll has worked with the recreational engine industry togather in-field operational data from snowmobiles, which wasused to develop an emission test cycle. The snowmobile test
cycle work led to baseline emissions testing of snowmobiles, andcharacterization of their particulate emissions.
Mr. Carroll also has experience with transient cycle emissions
testing of heavy-duty diesel and alternative fuel engines. His
heavy-duty engine projects have included end-of-line testing,durability studies, and prototype engine evaluations. He also

Dr. Benjamin L. Sheaffer
Dr. Benjamin Long Sheaffer, 82, passed away unexpectedly on September 10, 2012 in Beaufort, South
Carolina.
Ben graduated from Purdue University with a B.S., an M.S., and a Ph.D. in engineering. He worked at
McCulloch on two-stroke engines for helicopters, autogyros and unmanned aircraft. Later he worked at
Mercury Marine for over thirty years, where he was awarded twenty-one patents. He led developmenton many new things including rotary engines, chrome bores, fuel injection, and cracked-cap connecting
rod design. He was working at XRDi in Beaufort, South Carolina at the time of his death.
He was a longtime member of the SAE. He was elected fellow in 1991 and also twice received the Forest R. McFarland award
for organizing technical sessions of what evolved into the SETC.
Ben was a very private and understated man. His latest resume, which took but half a page, listed “forty-five years’ experiencein the design and development of two-stroke engines”. As one colleague remarked, that is, of course, worth ninety years offour-stroke experience.
Ben made significant technical contributions to the engine community but was also a true student of his craft. He was like awalking encyclopedia and quick to share his knowledge to the benefit of all. His approachable personality combined with his
generosity created a life-long impression on everyone he worked with. He will be truly missed by many friends and relatives.

Mr. Kazuyuki Shiomi
Mr. Shiomi died an early death on July 31 at the age of 55. Graduating from Tokyo Institute ofTechnology with BS degree, he joined Honda R&D in 1985. He began his professional career in the
research and development of engines and power products using CAE technologies & testing, and later
engaged in the development of various power products such as generators, Micro Combined Heat &Power systems, snow blowers, lawn & garden equipment and outboard motors.
In 2006, he became a member of JSAE SETC technical committee and took a role of TechnicalCommittee Chair in SETC2008. He actively contributed for strengthening collaborative relationship in
SETC activities between JSAE and SAE.
Mr. Shiomi will be dearly missed by SETC committee members, many colleagues and friends.

At the forefront of ground vehicle
standards development.
Then and now.
The first engine oil viscosity standard and the introduction ofengine horsepower ratings. The influence of motorcycle headlamps
and rollover protective structures for tractors. A standard thatdefines electric-vehicle charging couplers and the creation of thoseto aid in the development of the Smart Grid.
For over 100 years, SAE International has played a critical role in
the progress of the automobile and the ground vehicle industry.
And while the work of engineering today’s vehicles may on thesurface look very different given the complexity of technology andglobal markets, SAE International and its standards development
program have essentially remained unchanged. It continues toprovide a neutral forum for collaboration on common engineering

reduce costs, increase productivity, improve market position, andadvance new technologies.
Whether it is bringing standards for and from the United Statesmarket to the global table or serving as the world’s centerof expertise on Commercial Vehicle/ConAg standards, SAE

Professor Harry Watson
University of Melbourne

Prof. Harry Watson’ vision and research leadership at
the University of Melbourne have made outstanding
contributions to engine development for which
he was awarded 2010 FISITA Gold Medal. His
contributions have been based on the chemistry
and physics of internal combustion engine
processes. Practical experience in building petrol
and gas turbine engines led to a PhD on reaction
kinetics for hydrogen combustion in engines andthus understanding, for the first time, of the role ofchemistry in the HCCI engine process and jet assisted ignition (GAJI). This founded
lifelong development of computer models for engine efficiency and emissions andbuilding world leading natural gas and hydrogen engines. A long the way he has
designed many small engines both two stroke and four stroke, ultra high speed(Formula One research) and high speed optical access engines. In the middle 80’s
his work with GM and Garrett demonstrated up to 40% fuel economy improvementfrom down-sizing with turbocharging that included testing the first ceramic turbines.
In a Ford alternative fuel project the first application of Bosch’s natural gas injectors
led to production engines with 45% CO2 reduction from gasoline baseline, using CR
16 optimised combustion chambers and ultra lean burn. Based on these and otherexperiences the keynote will examine the challenges of small engine development,
including heat transfer, the interaction of valve events and boosting, lean burn,low speed efficiency, knock and high specific output, touching on control andmechanical design issues.
Professor Watson is a member of the FISITA Council, President of SAE-Australasia
2002-2006 and Head of Mechanical Engineering at UniMelb 1996-2000 and a Fellowof the Australian Academy for Science and Engineering.

FOREWORD
JSAE, Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan, announces that the 19th Small Engine Technology
Conference (SETC) will be held in Taipei from October 8 to 10, 2013. JSAE and SAE International
jointly sponsor the Conference with the support of SAE International Taipei Section of Taiwan,
Japan Land Engine Manufacturers Association (LEMA) and Japan Boating Industry Association(JBIA).
JSAE encourages researchers and engineers in a diversified field of small engine technology tosubmit their papers to the Conference and participate in it to exchange their ideas. This willcontribute to meeting key persons and sharing new technological information.
