Patent number: 9334812Abstract: An object of the present invention is to restrain the emission amount of unburned fuel components while restraining the consumption of fuel with relatively high ignitability in a multi-fuel internal combustion engine. The present invention resides in such a fuel supply control system for a multi-fuel internal combustion engine that a first fuel with relatively high ignitability and a second fuel with relatively low ignitability are used as fuels and the first fuel is used as an ignition source to mixedly combust the first fuel and the second fuel, wherein a supply amount Qd of the first fuel is adjusted on the basis of a difference ?RH between a first heat generation rate RHd which is a heat generation rate given when assuming that only the first fuel is combusted and an actual heat generation rate RHa which is a heat generation rate given when the fuels are actually combusted (S105 to 107, S109).Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2011Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Isamu Goto, Masahiko Masubuchi

Patent number: 4041701Abstract: A hydraulically actuated lockup clutch is arranged between the cores of the pump and turbine elements of a torque converter for directly coupling them together for operation above the clutch point. For engagement and disengagement of the lockup clutch, which can be of the multiplate type, the turbine element is moved toward and away from the pump element under the control of a control valve which selectively communicates a clutch actuating chamber within the converter with an external pump assembly and with a fluid drain. Alternatively, a clutch actuating chamber can be formed between the core of the pump or turbine element and a movable pressure plate, so that the latter may travel toward and away from the former for engagement and disengagement of the clutch.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 1976Date of Patent: August 16, 1977Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Isamu Goto, Sadanori Nishimura, Eiichiro Kawahara
