Abstract: A control device controls an internal combustion engine including: an elastic wave sensor arranged and configured to output a signal responsive to the strength of an acoustic emission wave produced at a sliding portion; and a variable oil pump. The control device is configured to execute an oil pressure control such that the oil pressure approaches a target oil pressure according to an engine operating condition. This oil pressure control includes a first pressure-increase processing executed where an AE correlation value correlated with the strength or occurrence frequency of the acoustic emission wave detected by the elastic wave sensor is greater than a first threshold value. The first pressure-increase processing increases the target oil pressure associated with a first engine operating condition present when the AE correlation value becomes greater than the first threshold value, as compared to when the AE correlation value is not greater than that.

Abstract: In a related-art resolver, a front and a back of a stator core cannot be distinguished, and it is difficult to mass-produce the resolver while matching directions of shear drops and burrs. Thus, assembly accuracy of the resolver is degraded. Further, productivity and assembling ability are degraded because electromagnetic steel sheets are laminated by rotary lamination. The present invention provides a resolver including: a resolver stator including: a stator core formed of electromagnetic steel sheets, which have teeth, and are laminated without rotary lamination; a one-phase excitation winding; and two-phase output windings; and a resolver rotor arranged to be opposed to the resolver stator, in which the stator core has marks which enable distinction of a rolling direction of the stator core and distinction of a front and a back of the stator core.

The groove is configured such that at least one of a width and a depth of the groove becomes larger toward the outer peripheral side from the inner peripheral side.

Abstract: An object of this invention is to suppress the occurrence of pre-ignition by appropriately controlling a wall surface temperature of a combustion chamber based on a target temperature region in which the frequency with which pre-ignition occurs is reflected, without causing pre-ignition to actually occur. An ECU 50 acquires a wall surface temperature of a combustion chamber 14 or an engine water temperature or the like that correlates therewith as a wall temperature parameter. The ECU 50 is equipped with data for a pre-ignition suppression temperature region that is a region in which the pre-ignition occurrence frequency is smallest among temperature regions of the wall temperature parameter. In a pre-ignition susceptibility operating region A, the wall temperature parameter is controlled so as to fall within the pre-ignition suppression temperature region by operating a cooling water amount varying mechanism 38.

Abstract: A control apparatus is applied to an internal combustion engine. The engine comprises a water pump, and an oil pump. The apparatus makes a second motor to drive the water pump drive the oil pump, if the first motor to drive the oil pump malfunctions. Consequently, if the first motor malfunctions, the oil pump can be driven by the second motor. Thus, the possibility of seizing of the sliding portions of the engine can be reduced. Further, if the first motor malfunctions, the friction in the engine can be reduced, since the oil pump is not driven by the crank shaft.
