Suzuhiro Saiki 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: 6374800
    Abstract: An engine operation control device which sets higher than the target revolution speed for the idling state the target revolution speed of the engine immediately after the engine operation has shifted to the idling state, to prevent troubles caused by bubbles in the working fluid. When the engine operation shifts to the idling state at time t2, the count value Cnt of the idling counter starts counting. When the count value Cnt reaches the set value Cnt1, the revolution speed correction amount Nad is added to the target revolution speed for the idling state. The correction amount Nad progressively decreases with the elapse of time after the engine operation has shifted to the idling state.

  • Patent number: 6237567
    Abstract: A fuel-injection system for an engine is disclosed in which a standard conductive duration of the individual injectors required for a desired volume of fuel injected per cycle may be easily provided by correcting a standard conductive duration to a solenoid-operated valve, which has been found depending on a standard fuel-injection characteristic. A controller unit is stored with a standard fuel-injection characteristic A that is used for obtaining a standard actuating pulse width Pws for the standard conductive duration corresponding to a desired volume Qf of the injected fuel, which is required depending on the operating conditions of the engine. A specified operating point (Q1, Pw1) is a known data that has been previously observed for the individual injectors.

  • Patent number: 6050240
    Abstract: An electronic fuel injection apparatus for a diesel engine comprising a driving state detection means for detecting a driving state of a vehicle and a controller for periodically determining a target injection quantity based on the driving state. When the driving state detection means indicates a state in a short time after engine start, a correction quantity which is preset to be added to the target injection quantity according to the engine temperature detected as the driving state is decreased, depending on time after engine start.

  • Patent number: 6032645
    Abstract: An electronic fuel injection apparatus for a diesel engine comprising a driving state detection means for detecting a driving state of a vehicle associated with an automatic transmission and a controller for periodically determining a target injection quantity based on the driving state. The target injection quantity at a time when a gearshift position is in a driving position is set to a driving target injection quantity which is obtained by adding a predetermined correction quantity to a target injection quantity at a time when the gearshift position is in a non-driving position. When the change of the gearshift position from the non-driving position to the driving position is detected, the target injection quantity is increasingly corrected to the driving target injection quantity.
