A filtered driver demand for torque at vehicle traction wheels is used to determine an engine torque command. The engine torque command is initialized to a percentage of a target engine torque as a function of ... 04/27/06 - 20060089779 - Method and device for monitoring a control unit of an internal combustion engine The invention relates to a method for monitoring a control unit of an internal combustion engine, according to which a variable, which characterises the initial parameter of a lambda regulation system, is monitored for a deviation from a predefined threshold value. An error response takes place in accordance with the ... 02/09/06 - 20060030993 - Powertrain control module spark duration diagnostic system A system and method for diagnosing ignition system performance of an internal combustion engine. The method operates an engine control unit to produce a sequence of spark ignition current pulses through primary windings of a plurality of ignition coils. The current pulses produce voltage pulses across electrodes of the spark ... 12/22/05 - 20050283300 - Device and process for determining the position of an engine Device for determining the position of an engine includes: a sensor that has a rotary part and a fixed part, whereby said fixed part comprises: elements (for generating a first signal based on the position of the rotary part relative to the fixed part), Second elements for generating a second ... 12/01/05 - 20050267668 - Interrupt generation circuit The present invention provides an interrupt generation circuit that can reduce the time between the moment a monitored object actually enters a desired state and the moment an interrupt is generated. An external event detection unit 101 detects the effective edge of an external event signal. A count period generation ... 11/17/05 - 20050256633 - Cost structure method including fuel economy and engine emission considerations A powertrain control selects engine operating points in accordance with power loss minimization controls. Power loss contributions come from a variety of sources including engine power losses. Engine power losses are determined in accordance with engine operating metrics such as power production per unit fuel consumption and power production per ... 11/17/05 - 20050256632 - Method for controlling starting of an engine in a hybrid electric vehicle powertrain A method for controlling starting of an internal combustion engine in a hybrid electric vehicle powertrain having multiple power flow paths to vehicle traction wheels from the engine and from an electric motor. A smoothness factor is calculated to determine how smooth an engine start should be. Engine operating variables ... 07/14/05 - 20050154521 - Engine output condition informing system for snow remover In an engine output condition informing system for a snow remover, the engine speed and the throttle position are detected, the output power rate OPrate of the engine is estimated based thereon, the output power condition of the engine is determined based on the estimated output power rate, and the ... 06/30/05 - 20050143897 - Method for monitoring a component situated in an exhaust gas region of an internal combustion engine A method for monitoring a component situated in an exhaust gas region of an internal combustion engine in which the low pass behavior, which is determined by the heat capacity of the component, is monitored by a valuation of a measure of a first exhaust gas temperature, which appears upstream ... 06/23/05 - 20050137776 - Method for activation of the regeneration of a particulate filter based on an estimate of the quantity of particulate accumulated in the particulate filter Method for activation of the regeneration of a particulate filter for a motor vehicle engine, comprising the steps of calculating an estimated value (xM) of a quantity of particulate accumulated in the particulate filter; comparing (8) the estimated value (xM) with a threshold value (mTH) corresponding to a predetermined maximum ... 06/16/05 - 20050131619 - Method and system for a building database manipulator A Building Database Manipulator to build databases for a variety of physical environments including definitions of buildings, terrain and other site parameters, by scanning in or rapidly editing data. Raster scans may be entered or object files in various formats may be used as input. Detailed information is stored in ... 06/16/05 - 20050131618 - Cylinder deactivation method to minimize drivetrain torsional disturbances A system and method are described for reducing engine vibration during cylinder deactivation in selected operating conditions. The method utilizes open valve deactivation to better match the cylinder pressure of deactivated cylinders to combusting cylinders. This mode is utilized, along with cylinder closed valve cylinder deactivation, to improve overall fuel ... ### FreshPatents.com Support |
