  • Patent number: 4547852
    Abstract: An engine control apparatus having a microcomputer which controls an operating condition modifying means to modify the operating condition of the engine, wherein the absolute value .DELTA.C of the difference, C.sub.now -C.sub.old is calculated from a previously obtained basic amount of control C.sub.old, and a newly obtained basic amount of control C.sub.now, a correction coefficient K is determined which takes a value of 1 to nearly 0 as the .DELTA.C is increased, and then the C.sub.set ofC.sub.set =K.times.(C.sub.now -C.sub.old)+C.sub.oldis calculated as an actual basic amount of control.

  • Patent number: 4522175
    Abstract: In a rotational speed control apparatus for an internal combustion engine in which a signal-responsive diaphragm, whose controlling position is determined by a controlled negative pressure signal, is provided with a valve member controlling to negative pressure acting upon a driving diaphragm controlling the opening of a throttle valve, the negative pressure acting upon the driving diaphragm, when the controlled negative pressure signal is detected to be not normal, is controlled to be shifted to the level at which the driving diaphragm is rendered substantially non-operable.

  • Patent number: 4494498
    Abstract: A fuel supplying system used in engine starting includes throttle valve means disposed in an intake air passage and metering valve means disposed in a fuel passage which extends from a fuel reservoir to a space of the intake air passage downstream from the throttle valve means. In order to obtain a required air-fuel ratio of a mixture determined in accordance with data representing states of an engine, in the fuel supplying system an opening degree of the throttle valve means which have a response delay is held constant and an opening degree of the metering valve means is adapted to be changed in accordance with a change of the required air-fuel ratio.

  • Patent number: 4480618
    Abstract: An apparatus for enriching an air-fuel mixture supplied by a carburetor upon starting operation of an internal combustion engine comprises a fuel quantity increasing passage which is operative independent of main fuel supply system. The passage has an inlet communicated to a fuel supply source and an outlet opened at a location downstream of a throttle valve. The amount of fuel ejected from the outlet of the passage is controlled by a control signal which represents a product of a value variable in dependence on a suction vacuum, the rotational frequency of the engine and a value variable in dependence on the temperature of engine cooling water.

  • Patent number: 4446728
    Abstract: This invention discloses a rotary drive device for mechanically rotating the blades of a turbo-fan engine for inspecting the blades. The device is mounted on a blade and has a pulley in frictional contact with the turbo-fan case. A motor in the device continuously or intermittently rotates the blades with respect to the turbo-fan case.
