Patent number: 11199141Abstract: When an acceptance unit accepts an advance notice, a control unit, controls inflow amount of the air, an air fuel ratio derived from an injection amount of a fuel, and an advance of an ignition timing of an ignition device to temporarily increase a power that can be supplied by a generator. The control unit is determines whether a margin of an opening of a throttle is not less than a predetermined threshold. If the margin of the opening of the throttle is less than the predetermined threshold, the control unit inhibits a temporarily increase of the power. If the margin of the opening of the throttle is not less than the predetermined threshold, the control unit permits the temporarily increase of the power.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2020Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Yoichi Yamamura, Kyosuke Taniguchi, Wataru Fukumoto

Patent number: 10513993Abstract: An intake pressure sensor is provided in an intake path of a single cylinder engine and detects an intake pressure. A crank angle sensor detects a crank angle of the single cylinder engine. A sampling unit samples the intake pressure detected by the intake pressure sensor when the crank angle detected by the crank angle sensor becomes a sampling start angle. A calculation unit extracts M intake pressures of relatively small values of N intake pressures sampled by the sampling unit. The calculation unit acquires, as a bottom pressure, an average value of P intake pressures remaining after several intake pressures of relatively large values and several intake pressures of relatively small values of the M intake pressures are excluded.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2018Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTDInventor: Yoichi Yamamura
