  • Patent number: 11885277
    Abstract: A method for controlling fuel injection to an engine may include calculating an amount of air passing through a throttle, which is actually controlled, from a calculated amount of air in an intake manifold, which is calculated from a pressure value detected by a pressure sensor installed in the intake manifold connecting the throttle and a cylinder to each other, and a calculated pressure change in the intake manifold. The method may further include predicting an actual amount of air to be sucked into the cylinder when mixed with fuel from the calculated amount of air in the intake manifold and the calculated amount of air passing through the throttle. The method may also include injecting an amount of fuel according to the predicted actual amount of air to be sucked into the cylinder.

  • Patent number: 7076340
    Abstract: In sensorless vector control performed through use of a rotation speed of a synchronous motor 6 and the position of a rotor, a positive current is caused to flow to a ? axis on the assumption that a ā€œdā€ axis serving as a true magnetic axis is out of phase with the ? axis by only an angle of load ?e, whereby torque which is proportional to i? sin ?e and directed toward the ? axis arises in the magnetic axis. Accordingly, a deviation between a d-q axis serving as a true magnetic axis and a ?-? axis serving as a control axis is eliminated. Even if load is exerted on the motor, the ? axis serving as a control axis is constantly aligned with the ā€œdā€ axis serving as the magnetic axis of the synchronous motor, thereby enabling excellent vector control.
