Patent number: 4860709Abstract: An engine induction system for reducing engine pumping losses provides for a minimum of two intake valves per cylinder, a primary and secondary, with valve port activation means associated with the secondary valves to control air flow to them so that at light loads only air flows through the primary intake valves, the secondary valves providing air flow at heavier loads, the primary intake valve openings being controlled so that no more than one primary valve is open at any one time; i.e., there is no overlap in openings between primary intake valves, which produces pumping losses at light loads when intake manifold vacuum is high.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 1988Date of Patent: August 29, 1989Assignee: Ford Motor CompanyInventors: James R. Clarke, Brian C. Wolfe

Patent number: 4796579Abstract: An automotive type internal combustion engine has an air throttle body for providing air to the engine for combination with fuel injected to define a fuel air charge; the air throttle body having primary and secondary air passages controlled by throttling valves, the primary passage being a drive-by-wire electrical system in which the throttle valve is moved electrically in response to movement of the vehicle accelerator pedal, the secondary passage being controlled by a throttle valve that has a direct mechanical connection to the vehicle accelerator pedal to be operative at wide open or near wide open throttle positions of the accelerator pedal to not only supply additional air for wide open throttle operation, but also to supply sufficient air to sustain engine operation in the event of inoperativeness of the electrical system or the actuator/motor affecting movement of the primary throttle valve.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 1988Date of Patent: January 10, 1989Assignee: Ford Motor CompanyInventors: Brian C. Wolfe, Thomas D. Wernholm
