  • Patent number: 10406905
    Abstract: In the case that an all-cylinder operational state is detected by an ENG vibration pattern determining function, an ACM-ECU executes an amplitude variable—phase fixed control. Further, in the case that a cylinder paused operational state is detected by the ENG vibration pattern determining function, the ACM-ECU executes an amplitude variable—phase variable control exhibiting a large vibration damping effect.

  • Patent number: 9352643
    Abstract: A control apparatus includes an actuator ECU for controlling a plurality of ACMs. When an engine is started or restarted, the actuator ECU begins a vibration suppressing control process with the ACMs for suppressing vibrations transmitted to a vehicle body when a crankshaft angle, which is represented by a CRK pulse signal from a CRK sensor, reaches a beginning crankshaft angle.

  • Patent number: 9145836
    Abstract: Provided are: an engine-mounted controller capable of being suitably used in a vehicle that carries out an idle-stop operation while the vehicle is moving; and a vehicle. An engine-mounted controller of a vehicle determines whether or not an engine is in a completely stopped state when an idle-stop operation is canceled. If the controller determines that the engine is in a completely stopped state, a first control operation for suppressing the transmission of engine vibrations associated with engine idling is executed on the assumption that the engine is in a completely stopped state, and if the controller determines that the engine is not in a completely stopped state, the first control operation is prohibited when the engine restarts.

  • Patent number: 9108641
    Abstract: A control apparatus for controlling a vehicle includes an actuator ECU. The actuator ECU acquires a crankshaft angle (stopped crankshaft angle) at a time that an engine stops operating. The actuator ECU identifies a crankshaft angle depending on an edge of a first TDC pulse of a TDC pulse signal immediately after the engine has been started or restarted. Then, using the identified crankshaft angle as a reference, the actuator ECU corrects the stopped crankshaft angle.
