  • Patent number: 6810860
    Abstract: A starting fuel injection control device for an internal combustion engine including a unit for estimating the starting ability of the internal combustion engine, a crank angle detecting unit for outputting a crank angle signal in synchronization with a specific crank angle position of each cylinder of the internal combustion engine and a cylinder discriminating unit for discriminating a reference crank angle of a specific cylinder. The device also includes a unit for simultaneously injecting fuel to all the cylinders before the completion of the cylinder discrimination at the starting time and a unit for starting the independent injection by turns separately for each cylinder in synchronization with the crank angle signal from the time just after the completion of the cylinder discrimination, and a unit for starting simultaneously injects fuel to another cylinder where intake is possible.

  • Patent number: 6705288
    Abstract: A starting control apparatus for an internal combustion engine capable of ensuring proper starting performance with a fuel injection quantity of a lean air-fuel ratio while reducing HC discharge quantity in an engine start phase with high reliability. During a period from the start of cranking to occurrence of complete explosion in the engine starting phase, the fuel injection quantity charged to individual cylinders on a cylinder-by-cylinder basis and the ignition timing for igniting the fuel are properly set for each of the individual combustion strokes taking place sequentially among plural cylinders. An optimal combination of the fuel injection quantity and the ignition timing is realized for thereby producing required torque just enough in the individual combustion strokes.

  • Publication number: 20030198192
    Abstract: A mobile communication network system is capable of achieving both of route optimizing function and demand for privacy protection. An address server determines network addresses to be assigned for a plurality of variable IP subnetworks and use period of the network addresses, and distributes network addresses to routers having foreign agent function in the variable IP subnetworks. When use period of the assigned network address expires, new network address of own router is at first assigned. Addition of the subnetwork having new network address is notified to respective routers of the fixed IP subnetworks using IP route control means.

  • Patent number: 6023730
    Abstract: A communication system includes a control communication network for transferring control data, and a data communication network for transferring stream data. A communication node is set on the communication system in response to a request on the stream transfer. The communication node is connected to both of the above networks and transfers data via the data communication network under the control based on the control data. The communication node controls access by an application and transfer of stream data by referring to a transfer control table which holds the relation of connection with another control communication node which transfers the common data and the corresponding relation to a control node (application) associated with data transfer defined by the connecting relation.
