Patents by Inventor Tunehiro Mori

Tunehiro Mori 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: 10865731
    Abstract: A fuel injection control device causes an injector to execute main injection or pilot injection toward a joint portion, and low penetration injection to inject fuel at timing earlier than the pilot injection in a PILOT region or at timing later than the main injection in an AFTER region. The fuel injection control device causes the low penetration injection to be executed to inject the fuel only in a radial central region of a combustion chamber.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10837397
    Abstract: A fuel injection control causes a fuel injection valve to execute at least: a main injection to inject fuel at timing when a piston is positioned near a compression top dead center; a pilot injection to inject the fuel at timing earlier than the main injection; and a low penetration injection to inject the fuel at timing earlier than the pilot injection or timing later than the main injection. The fuel injection control device includes: a first injection control module that executes at least one of the main injection or the pilot injection at timing to inject the fuel toward a joint portion of a cavity; and a second injection control module that executes the low penetration injection to inject the fuel only into a radial central region of a combustion chamber.

  • Patent number: 6962140
    Abstract: A diesel engine control system and control method capable of conducting accurate fuel injection unaffected by variations in injector performance caused by differences among individual injectors or change with aging. The diesel engine control system includes an injector for directly injecting fuel into a combustion chamber of a diesel engine, injection quantity controller for controlling fuel injection quantity by varying a period of electric current supply to the injector, estimator for estimating that an electric current supply period when a prescribed (stable) combustion state is obtained is the current supply period for injecting the amount of fuel required for the prescribed combustion state, and control data correcting device for correcting control data of the injection quantity controller based on the estimated current supply period.
