  • Device for the acquisition and conditioning of an acoustic signal generated by a source of an internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 10609478
    Abstract: A device for the acquisition and conditioning of a sound signal generated by a source of an internal combustion engine and comprising a box-shaped support body having a first measuring assembly and a second measuring assembly; wherein the first measuring assembly is provided with at least two first microphones which lie on a first plane and are configured for the detection of a first acoustic signal generated by the source along a first provenance direction; and wherein the second measuring assembly is provided with at least a second microphone arranged on a second plane configured for the detection of a second acoustic signal generated by the source along a second provenance direction different from the first provenance direction.

  • Method to control a supercharged internal combustion engine provided with a turbocharger by means of an estimation of the average power delivered by the turbine of the turbocharger
    Patent number: 9617931
    Abstract: A method to control a supercharged internal combustion engine by means of a turbocharger provided with a turbine and a compressor which compresses the air taken in; the control method includes the steps of determining the instantaneous rotation speed of the turbocharger; and calculating the average power delivered by the turbine as a function of the absolute value of the j-th harmonic component of the instantaneous rotation speed of the turbocharger and of the instantaneous rotation speed of the turbocharger; and controlling the supercharged internal combustion engine as a function of the average power delivered by the turbine.
