Nobuyuki FUJIOKA has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10221804
    Abstract: A fuel injection control device for an internal combustion engine, includes a fuel pressure sensor and circuitry. The fuel pressure sensor detects an actual fuel pressure of the fuel supplied to a cylinder fuel injection valve. The circuitry calculates a demanded amount of the fuel supplied to the internal combustion engine. The circuitry calculates a cylinder injection amount of fuel injected from the cylinder fuel injection valve. The circuitry corrects the cylinder injection amount to decrease in accordance with a degree of drop in the actual fuel pressure comparing to a target fuel pressure of the fuel supplied to the cylinder fuel injection valve such that fuel injection from the cylinder fuel injection valve ends by a target injection end timing. The circuitry calculates a port injection amount of the fuel injected from a port fuel injection valve based on the demanded fuel amount and the corrected cylinder injection amount.

  • Patent number: 10094271
    Abstract: A control apparatus for an internal combustion engine includes an exhaust gas concentration parameter sensor, a cylinder gas amount parameter acquisition device, an air-fuel ratio controller, an operation status determination device, and a determination value setting device. The air-fuel ratio controller is to perform an air-fuel ratio fluctuation control to control an air-fuel ratio in the internal combustion engine to fluctuate in a predetermined state. The operation status determination device is to determine an operation status of the internal combustion engine or an auxiliary device of the internal combustion engine based on an exhaust gas concentration parameter detected by the exhaust gas concentration parameter sensor in a case where an amount of a cylinder gas represented by a cylinder gas amount parameter acquired by the cylinder gas amount parameter acquisition device is equal to or larger than a predetermined determination value while the air-fuel ratio fluctuation control is being performed.
