  • Patent number: 10329438
    Abstract: Disclosed are a silica sol composition including silica, an anionic dispersant, two or more epoxy silane coupling agents, and an organic solvent, and a method for preparing the same. In the silica sol composition, a uniform surface modification of silica particles may be achieved by using an anionic dispersant and two or more epoxy silane coupling agents, and it is possible to effectively enhance the compatibility between a silica filler whose surface is modified with an epoxy group and a resin which is an underfill composition.

  • Patent number: 7774128
    Abstract: A method of measuring an initial hydrocarbon concentration in a canister includes opening a purge control valve thereby introducing hydrocarbons from the canister to a cylinder; calculating an amount of air introduced into the cylinder; and calculating the initial hydrocarbon concentration based on the amount of air. A method of controlling fuel injection includes measuring an initial hydrocarbon concentration in a canister by opening a purge control valve in a fuel cut-off mode; determining a driving state of a vehicle; calculating an air inflow to a cylinder according to the driving state of the vehicle; calculating a ? set-point according to the driving state of the vehicle; and calculating fuel injection amount based on the air inflow and the ? set-point. Also, a system for controlling fuel injection.

  • Patent number: 7261067
    Abstract: A thermostat monitoring system is provided which comprises a coolant temperature detection member for detecting a temperature of a coolant. An intake air temperature detection member detects a temperature of ambient air introduced into combustion chambers. An intake air amount detection member detects an amount of intake air. An engine speed detection member detects an engine speed; a blower switch detects a selected contacting point for driving a blower motor; and a control unit calculates a primary modeled coolant temperature and an auxiliary modeled coolant temperature based on information detected by the coolant temperature detection member, the intake air temperature detection member, the intake air amount detection member, the engine speed detection member, and the blower switch, and for monitoring using the primary modeled coolant temperature and the auxiliary modeled coolant temperature to determine whether a thermostat is in a stuck-open state.

  • Patent number: 6701906
    Abstract: A system and method for controlling fuel injection of a vehicle, in which a MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor is used to calculate variations in intake pressure in a purge interval to perform compensation of a final fuel amount, thereby improving drive performance and minimizing fuel consumption. The system and method perform compensation of the final fuel amount in the two cases (a) where the canister is at high loading and when changing from one of an idle state and a light load state to one of a part load and a full load state, and (b) where the canister is at low loading and when changing from one of the part load state and the full load state to one of the idle state and the light load state.
