Patents by Inventor Yuichiro Shioura

Yuichiro Shioura 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: 8978599
    Abstract: A control device includes target temperature setting means, feedback control means, and shortcut control means. The target temperature setting means sets a target temperature (?) of a coolant according to a temperature state of an internal combustion engine. The feedback control means controls a control valve in such a manner that a coolant temperature is the target temperature (?). The shortcut control means controls the control valve in such a manner that, when the internal combustion engine is in a cold state, the target temperature setting means sets as the target temperature (?) a warming-up temperature (?) higher than a feedback control temperature (A or B) which is set during feedback control.

  • Patent number: 8657722
    Abstract: In a control apparatus of an internal combustion engine having an electronic throttle system driving an actuator so that a throttle valve provided in the internal combustion engine is at a target opening according to driving conditions, a throttle opening is turned to a limp home opening when abnormality is detected in the driving conditions so as to allow retreat traveling of a vehicle. The control apparatus of the internal combustion engine includes a brake operation detecting unit detecting a brake operation, in which when a brake operation is added subsequently while the accelerator pedal is operated, the control apparatus sets the target opening to the limp home opening based on occurrence of a sequence of the operations, and drives the actuator so that the throttle opening turns to the limp home opening, regardless of whether abnormality is detected or not.
