Patent number: 6827063Abstract: For the establishment of a crank-angle based signal pattern with high discrimination representing a relevant working characteristic of an internal combustion engine, the working characteristic is detected with high time discrimination and with the aid of a time-based and angled-based crank-angle signal of low angle discrimination and transformed to a crank-angle basis under interpolation, and whereby there is assigned to the top dead center (OT) of the respective cylinder, by a multiple, a freely selectable angle increment under interpolation with high angle discrimination.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2002Date of Patent: December 7, 2004Assignee: AVL List GmbHInventors: Bernhard Breitegger, Eduard Unger, Christian Roduner, Alois Fürhapter

Patent number: 6752123Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating an internal combustion engine which is operated in at least one engine operation range in a substantially homogeneous self-ignited manner and in at least a second engine operation range in a substantially homogeneous spark-ignited manner, with a changeover occurring during engine operation between homogeneous self-ignited operation and homogeneous spark-ignited operation depending on the load and vice-versa.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2002Date of Patent: June 22, 2004Assignee: AVL List GmbHInventors: Eduard Unger, Alois Fuerhapter, Gernot Philipp

Patent number: 6742494Abstract: The invention relates to a method of operating an internal combustion engine that relies for operation, in at least one operational range of the engine, on the autoignition of an at least almost homogeneous fuel-air mixture, the combustion being measured and at least one parameter for the combustion in the next cycle being set in function of a signal obtained from this measurement. In order to reduce fuel consumption and emissions and to achieve direct conversion of the load requirements, there is provided that the four cycle internal combustion engine relies for operation, in at least one second operational range, on the spark ignition of an at least almost homogeneous fuel-air mixture and that the combustion event is controlled, both in the first and in the second operational range of the engine, largely independent of the torque of the internal combustion engine.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2002Date of Patent: June 1, 2004Assignee: AVL List GmbHInventors: Eduard Unger, Alois Fuerhapter

Patent number: 6711945Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the position of the combustion in a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine. In order to enable an early determination of the 50% mass conversion point it is provided that the maximum value of the heating progress of the combustion is determined, that the 50% mass conversion point is assigned in a temporal respect to the maximum value of the heating progress, and that the temporal assignment of the 50% mass conversion point to the maximum value of the heating progress occurs prior to the end of the combustion.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2002Date of Patent: March 30, 2004Assignee: AVL List GmbHInventors: Alois Fuerhapter, Eduard Unger, Bernhard Breitegger

Patent number: 6637404Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling the operation of an internal combustion engine that is operated, in at least one operational range, with a homogeneous charge compression ignition mode, combustion history being monitored and evaluated by measuring at least one parameter relevant to combustion selected from the group comprising the start of combustion, the duration of combustion and the rate of combustion, and at least one parameter relevant to combustion being controlled, for subsequent combustion events, on account of the evaluation of the combustion. In order to stabilize combustion in the homogeneous charge compression ignition mode of operation in the easiest possible way, the inventors propose to vary the level of turbulence in the combustion chamber for the purpose of controlling combustion, the level of turbulence being temporarily raised to stabilize combustion.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2002Date of Patent: October 28, 2003Assignee: AVL List GmbHInventors: Alois Fuerhapter, Eduard Unger
