Patent number: 7612464Abstract: An electronic control apparatus for a vehicle consists of a microcomputer and a monitor module. The microcomputer includes a vehicle-mounted actuator controller and a controller monitor. The controller monitor works to monitor the validity of a monitor subject associated with an operation of the actuator controller based on a value computed by the microcomputer and associated with the validity of the monitor subject and its expected value. The controller monitor monitors the malfunction of the actuator controller based on the validity of the monitor subject. The microcomputer outputs the computed value and the expected value to the monitor module. The monitor module monitors the malfunction of the controller monitor based on comparison between the computed value and the expected value. Specifically, the monitoring of the actuator controller and the monitoring of the controller monitor are performed simultaneously, thus resulting in greatly improved reliability in controlling a vehicle mounted actuator.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2006Date of Patent: November 3, 2009Assignee: DENSO CorporationInventor: Masato Yano

Patent number: 6904543Abstract: An engine control ECU includes a microcomputer, which includes CPU, RAM, ROM, FPU and I/O. The FPU performs floating-point calculations and the CPU carries out operations other than the floating-point calculations. The CPU checks whether non-numeric exists, and performs backup processing when the non-numeric is found. In the backup processing, the RAM data is initialized by writing default values harmless to control as the RAM data. In addition to or alternative to the initialization, the CPU disables a floating-point calculation of the FPU. Without using the FPU, the CPU performs engine control operations by using integer data instead of floating-point data.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2000Date of Patent: June 7, 2005Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Mitsuhiro Kawai, Masato Yano, Takatoshi Sugimura

Patent number: 6297567Abstract: A vehicular anti-theft device having a high security performance against the theft of the vehicle without adding additional components is disclosed. The vehicular anti-theft device mainly includes a code collator and an engine ECU connected to the code collator so as to communicate each other. The code collator detects whether a password code of an ignition key inserted into the ignition key cylinder accords with a password code of a vehicle. The engine ECU detects whether an engine should be started up or not by communicating with the code collator when an ignition key is detected to be turned on. Here, the engine ECU generates a digital data by A/D converting analog signals to be used for engine controlling, generates a transmission data by serially combining lower 2-bits of each A/D converted data, and then sends the transmission data to the code collator. Therefore, the communication data between the engine ECU and the code collator can be changed at random without adding additional components.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 1999Date of Patent: October 2, 2001Assignee: Denso CorporationInventor: Masato Yano
