  • Patent number: 6637192
    Abstract: When an increase in a temperature of an exhaust-gas purifying catalyst device in an in-cylinder injection type internal combustion engine is demanded, a temperature-increase control section in an electronic control unit accomplishes stratified combustion by causing each fuel injection valve to inject fuel directly into the associated combustion chamber in a compression stroke in such a way that the air-fuel ratio of the internal combustion engine is in a vicinity of a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. This allows the temperature of the exhaust-gas purifying catalyst device to be maintained or increased without increasing fuel consumption.

  • Patent number: 6386173
    Abstract: An electronic control unit (40) for controlling an internal combustion engine drive executes a first operation mode for injecting a fuel in a suction stroke while making an air/fuel ratio feedback control, when a demand for improving output characteristics is made in a medium/high load drive state of the engine. In response to a demand for raising the temperature of a catalyst, moreover, the first operation mode is switched to a second operation mode in which the fuel is injected in a compression stroke while making an air/fuel ratio feedback control performing a predetermined air/fuel ratio in the vicinity of a stoichiometric air/fuel ratio as a target value.

  • Patent number: 5740777
    Abstract: This invention relates to a 4-cycle in-cylinder injection internal combustion engine in which fuel is injected directly into a combustion chamber, and specifically to an in-cylinder injection internal combustion engine suited for use as an internal combustion engine which performs premixed combustion at the time of a high power output but stratified combustion at the time of a low power output and switches the state of each of the combustions depending on an operation state of the engine.

  • Patent number: 4341628
    Abstract: A belt pressure filter comprises a gravity dewatering zone for dewatering a sludge as a function of the gravity and a forced dewatering zone for a forced dewatering of the sludge by means of external pressure. An endless filter belt travels from the gravity dewatering zone to the forced dewatering zone. The coagulated sludge is supplied onto the filter belt by means of the gravity dewatering zone. Information representing the level of the sludge deposited on the belt is obtained as an information concerning the dewatering ability of the coagulated sludge supplied onto the filter belt. The traveling speed of the filter belt is calculated and controlled on the basis of the above described level information which represents the layer thickness and hence also the solids concentration. The optimum amount of a dosage of a coagulating agent is determined based on the traveling speed of the filter belt as calculated.
