Patent number: 6033341Abstract: A clutch connection/disconnection system which causes a friction clutch to slip appropriately when the clutch is automatically disconnected and connected. An engine is controlled according an accelerate command signal. During automatic clutch connection, the accelerate command signal approaches an actual accelerator pedal position signal. An approaching speed of the accelerate command signal is stepwise changed based on comparison between a particular value and a threshold value. The "particular value" is a differential value of a difference between an engine rotational speed and clutch rotational speed. When the clutch is slipping, the engine rotational speed is controlled to rise gently so that overslipping of the clutch is prevented.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 1998Date of Patent: March 7, 2000Assignee: Isuzu Motors LimitedInventors: Yasushi Yamamoto, Masaki Ishihara, Nobuyuki Iwao, Masaaki Nishito

Patent number: 4979117Abstract: Herein disclosed is a method of processing a malfunction of an accelerator pedal sensor of an automobile. An output voltage is outputted according to changes in a resistance depending upon depression of an accelerator pedal. A malfunction of the accelerator pedal sensor is shot to process and determine an acceleration value for controlling the run of the automobile in accordance with said output voltage. The acceleration value is set at a predetermined value in accordance with the malfunction of either of an idle switch for generating a signal indicating the idle position of the accelerator pedal and a wide-open switch for generating a signal indicating the wide open position of the accelerator pedal when the malfunction of the accelerator pedal sensor is judged. This judgement is conducted by detecting a plurality of times that said output voltage is outside of the predetermined voltage range.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 1989Date of Patent: December 18, 1990Assignee: Isuzu Motors, LimitedInventors: Toshihiro Hattori, Masaki Ishihara, Hitoshi Kasai, Shigeki Moride

Patent number: 4843555Abstract: Herein disclosed is a signal processing system for a motor vehicle with high responsiveness to the will of a driver. The output voltage of an acceleration sensor using a potentiometer is converted into a digital value by an analog-digital converter. The nonlinearity of the output voltage is corrected by polynominally calculating the digital value. This digital value is controlled by a central processing unit which processes the digital value to generate an acceleration signal having a linear relationship to the changes in the resistance of the potentiometer during actuation of an accelerator. The central processing unit further includes a memory for storing the acceleration signal at an idling position to determine a calibrated acceleration signal using a ratio of an actual acceleration signal obtained from the accelerator pedal to the stored value thereof.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 1987Date of Patent: June 27, 1989Assignees: Isuzu Motors Limited, Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Toshihiro Hattori, Masaki Ishihara, Hitoshi Kasai, Yasuyoshi Asagi
