  • Patent number: 8085637
    Abstract: A DPD tracking error signal detection apparatus includes the following. Four differentiators remove DC components and differentiate four signal with varying differential phases. The signals are then sampled and quantized by four A/D converters, and output to a non-inverting unit and an inverting unit. A phase inverter/compositor then leaves as-is or phase-inverts the output signals, according to a control signal. The non-inverting and the inverting unit each include two Hilbert transformers that phase-shift the output from the A/D converters, two delay units that delay the output of the other A/D converters to match the delay of the Hilbert transformers, two cross-correlators that calculate the cross-correlation between pairs of Hilbert transformers and delay units, and an adding unit that combines the cross-correlator results and outputs the combined result to the phase inverter/compositor.

  • Patent number: 7447586
    Abstract: A valve characteristic control apparatus is provided in an internal combustion engine including a variable valve mechanism that can change at the least, among valve characteristics of an exhaust valve, a closing timing of the exhaust valve, and in which a number of injections of fuel is changed during one engine cycle. The valve characteristic control apparatus sets the closing timing of the exhaust valve to a retard side during an engine warming up operation. When setting to the retard side is performed, if two injections are performed, an exhaust side target displacement angle VTTex of the exhaust valve is calculated based on a dual injection use map. On the other hand, if one injection is performed, the exhaust side target displacement angle VTTex of the exhaust valve is calculated based on a single injection use map.

  • Patent number: 7322342
    Abstract: A requested injection amount of fuel necessary during ignition cut-off at the time of start at an extremely low temperature is calculated (step ST2), injection start timing and injection end timing between which wetting of a spark plug by fuel is less likely are set (step ST3), and the number of times of ignition cut-off is calculated based on the injection start timing and the injection end timing and the requested injection amount (step ST4). The injection start timing and the injection end timing are thus restricted to timings between which plug wetting is less likely, and the number of times of ignition cut-off is calculated based on the injection start timing and the injection end timing and the requested injection amount, so that wetting of the spark plug by fuel at the extremely low temperature can be avoided even in an in-cylinder direct-injection engine.

  • Patent number: 6647952
    Abstract: A control apparatus for a cylinder injection type internal combustion engine in which the fuel injection mode of the engine is switched between a compression stroke injection and an intake stroke injection. When the engine is cold, the compression stroke injection is selected for the fuel injection mode so that injected fuel collides with the top surface of a piston and is directed toward the vicinity of a spark plug. When the fuel injection mode is switched from the compression stroke injection to the intake stroke injection, the ignition timing is delayed during the execution of the intake stroke injection from when the fuel injection mode is switched until a predetermined period elapses compared with a case when the fuel injection mode is not switched.

  • Patent number: 6647948
    Abstract: An engine has an injector, which directly injects fuel into a combustion chamber. When the coolant temperature during the cranking of the engine is low, an ECU controls the injector such that the engine is operated in a compression stroke injection mode. When the engine is operated in the compression stroke injection mode, the ECU controls the injector to advance the fuel injection timing in accordance with an increase of the coolant temperature. As a result, the engine reduces the amount of unburned discharge gas, provides improved ignition and combustion, and provides stable idling.

  • Patent number: 6647949
    Abstract: A fuel-injected engine is operated in a compression stroke injection mode or an intake stroke injection mode. The intake flow rate appropriate for the compression stroke injection mode is greater than that of the intake stroke injection mode. When the engine is cold, the ECU determines the amount of fuel injected in accordance with the actual intake flow rate. The ECU controls a throttle valve such that the intake flow rate is appropriate for the selected fuel injection mode before the fuel injection mode is actually switched. As a result, fluctuations of the engine speed caused by switching the fuel injection mode are reduced.
