  • Publication number: 20240146806
    Abstract: An intermediate device 10A includes a transfer unit 11 that transfers a request including data to be transmitted from a local 30 to a remote 50, and a generation unit 12 that generates a pseudo-response to the request and returns the pseudo-response to the local 30. The intermediate device 10B includes a discard unit 13 that discards a response to the request from the remote 50. An intermediate device 20B includes a generation unit 22 that generates a pseudo-request based on an initial request for requesting data transmission from the local 30 to the remote 50 and transmits the pseudo-request to the remote 50, and a transfer unit 24 that transfers a response including data to be transmitted from the remote 50 to the local 30. The intermediate device 20A includes the discard unit 21 that discards a subsequent request from the local 30.

  • Publication number: 20090133387
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine (1) comprises a fuel injector (9), a filter (13) which traps particulate matter in exhaust gas, and a catalyst (14) which oxidizes unburnt fuel or carbon monoxide in the exhaust gas on the upstream side of the filter (13). When regeneration of the filter (13) is required, a controller (21) determines a post-injection fuel injection timing and a post-injection fuel injection amount of the fuel injector (9) on the basis of an upstream exhaust gas temperature (Texh) and a catalyst temperature (Tcat) (S16, S17, S19, S20, S22, S23, S25, S26, S28), thereby optimizing the regeneration temperature condition of the filter (13).

  • Patent number: 7100365
    Abstract: In a combustion control system, a control unit determines, based on an operating condition of an exhaust purifying device, whether a request for an exhaust temperature rise or a rich A/F ratio engine operating mode is present. The control unit executes, by way of fuel injection control in presence of the request of the exhaust temperature rise or the rich operating mode, a split retard combustion mode in which a main combustion needed to produce a main engine torque and at least one preliminary combustion occurring prior to the main combustion are both achieved, and the preliminary combustion occurs near top dead center on a compression stroke, and the main combustion initiates after completion of the preliminary combustion. The control unit simultaneously executes an exhaust-emission reduction control that reduces HC and CO emissions, while keeping the excess air factor at a desired value in the catalyst deactivated state.
