  • Internal combustion engine controller
    Patent number: 7031820
    Abstract: If the combustion status detected in a steady state is partial combustion, the setting of a combustion status control parameter for the next cycle is adjusted so as to provide an increased degree of partial combustion. If, on the other hand, the detected combustion status is fast combustion, the setting of the control parameter for the next cycle is adjusted so as to provide an increased degree of fast combustion. The combustion status can be detected in accordance with an output parameter that correlates with the engine torque.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki Kaisha
    Inventors: Koichi Ueda, Rentaro Kuroki, Shozo Yoshida
  • Internal combustion engine controller
    Publication number: 20050071073
    Abstract: If the combustion status detected in a steady state (e.g., during cold fast idling) is partial combustion, the setting of a combustion status control parameter (e.g., ignition timing control parameter) for the next cycle is adjusted so as to provide an increased degree of partial combustion (e.g., by adjusting the ignition timing control parameter for the delay side). If, on the other hand, the detected combustion status is fast combustion, the setting of the control parameter for the next cycle is adjusted so as to provide an increased degree of fast combustion (e.g., by adjusting the ignition timing control parameter for the advance side). The combustion status can be detected in accordance with an output parameter that correlates with the engine torque.

  • Method of producing a slurry of microcapsules
    Patent number: 4957666
    Abstract: An improved in-situ polymerization method is provided for easily producing a good slurry of strong, dense, water-resistant and anti-hygroscopic microcapsules made of an amino resin of either of melamine-formaldehyde series or the ureaformaldehyde series, in a high concentration of microcapsules, and a low viscosity.

  • Blur detecting device for a camera
    Patent number: 4673276
    Abstract: A blur detecting device for a camera comprises a CCD line sensor which is arranged in a position optically equivalent to the surface of the film to produce image signals at different points of time set in response to pushing a shutter button; and a signal processing circuit which computes the degree of a blur which occurred in the image between the different points of time by obtaining the degree of correlation between the image signals.
