  • Patent number: 8321121
    Abstract: A fuel injection control apparatus is provided with a supply control section, a stop control section, a timing estimating section and a torque recovery control section. The supply control section controls fuel supplied to an engine based on a detected prescribed vehicle running state. The stop control section stops supplying fuel upon detecting a first prescribed vehicle running state. The timing estimating section estimates a timing at which a drive train transmitting a drive force from the engine to a wheel will change from a non-drive state in which the engine rotates due to a force from the wheel to a drive state in which the wheel rotates due to a drive force of the engine. The torque recovery control section resumes supplying fuel upon detecting a second prescribed vehicle running state and stops resumption of fuel being supplied for a prescribed amount of time based on the timing.

  • Patent number: 5658217
    Abstract: A shift shock reducing system for a continuously variable transmission detects power transmission ratio of the transmission. A shifting response delay of the transmission is determined depending upon a transmission speed ratio detected by a speed ratio detector. At a transition from a coasting state to a power-on driving state, a fuel recovery delay device issues a command for making a fuel cut-off device inoperative with a delay of a predetermined period derived on the basis of the shifting response delay set by a shifting response delay setting device, from detection of the transition by a driving condition transition detector, for synchronizing rising of the engine output with actual initiation of shifting of the transmission, associated with transition from coasting state to the power-on driving state, so as to effectively reduce the shift shock.
