PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress deterioration of emission when NOx and SOx occluded into a NOx catalyst provided in an exhaust gas passage are discharged, and reduce the capacity of an oxidation catalyst provided on the downstream side of the NOx catalyst. SOLUTION: This exhaust emission control system for the internal combustion engine, which is equipped with the NOx catalyst having oxygen occlusion capability and an oxygen occlusion capability estimating device for estimating the level of the oxygen occlusion capability of the NOx catalyst. For an air-fuel ratio L1 of exhaust flowing out from the NOx catalyst to be an air-fuel ratio near stoichiometric, when occluded NOx is reduced and emitted or occluded SOx is emitted in the NOx catalyst, an air-fuel ratio L2 of the exhaust flowing into the NOx catalyst is changed alternately between a rich-side air-fuel ratio and a lean-side air-fuel ratio in a prescribed air-fuel ratio range (AFT to AFB) near stoichiometric AFO which is determined based on the oxygen occlusion capability of the NOx catalyst estimated by the oxygen occlusion capability estimating device.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately infer amount of particulate matter caught by a filter carrying oxidation catalyst based on pressure loss of exhaust gas by the filter in an exhaust emission control device for an internal combustion engine provided with the filter. SOLUTION: In this exhaust emission control device for the internal combustion engine provided with the filter provided in an exhaust passage of the internal combustion engine, carrying catalyst having oxidation function, and catching particulate matter in exhaust gas and a pressure loss detection means for detecting pressure loss of exhaust gas by the filter, it is inferred that amount of particulate matter caught by the filter is zero (S103) in a period of time until pressure loss detected by the pressure loss detection means reaches a pressure loss saturation condition, and after pressure loss reaches the pressure loss saturation condition, amount of particulate matter caught by the filter is inferred based on an operation condition of the internal combustion engine (S104, S105).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To materialize efficient energy recovery by regeneration while maintaining the deceleration feeling that a driver requests. SOLUTION: The objective quantity of regeneration is computed (step S12), being tinged with car speed and accelerator opening, so that the quantity of regeneration by a motor generator may increase more the lower the stage is, based on the shift stage of a multimode manual transmission (MMT) at request for deceleration and besides at fuel cut(step S10-YES and Step 11-YES), and the regeneration control of the motor generator is executed so that it may be the objective quantity of regeneration in question, whereby pseudo engine brake feeling is generated (step S13). In this case, the actual speed change stage of the above MMT is not shifted. On the other hand, in case that fuel is not cut (step S11)at deceleration(step11-NO), the regeneration control of the motor generator is inhibited (step S14). COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control device for an internal combustion engine capable of a stabilizing engine combustion state even if characteristics of a gas in an engine combustion chamber excessively vary. SOLUTION: In an electronic control unit 32 for a centralized control of an operating condition of an engine 1, the temperature T1 of the gas in a combustion chamber 2 at a prescribed time CA1 prior to fuel injection timing is calculated as a function of a cylinder internal pressure PS1, volume V1 and weight G1 at the time CA1. On the basis of the temperature T1 at the prescribed time CA1, the optimum fuel injection timing for stabilizing the combustion state of the engine 1 is determined. As a result, the characteristics of the gas filled in the combustion chamber 2 is immediately grasped. The characteristics can be reflected to the fuel injection timing adopted immediately thereafter (for example, in the same combustion cycle). COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for controlling a vehicle in speed changing, by which method, the speed changing suitable for a driver's intention is achieved by carrying out a speed changing operation by a driver's operation for an accelerator pedal when a multi-mode transmission is shifted. SOLUTION: A diesel hybrid vehicle 10 has a diesel engine 11, the multi-mode transmission 12, and a clutch 12a for automatically carrying out the connection and disconnection of the power transmission between the engine 11 and the multi-mode transmission 12. In the method for controlling the diesel hybrid vehicle 10 in speed changing, when the accelerator pedal has been returned by a specified amount during running, the multi-mode transmission 12 is shifted up to the higher stage by only one step. When the accelerator pedal has not been operated within a specified time after the shifting-up, the speed changing is carried out based on an ordinary speed changing diagram.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve startability of an internal combustion engine with a superchargers including two superchargers. SOLUTION: The internal combustion engine with the superchargers includes first and second turbochargers connected in parallel with an exhaust gas passage, an exhaust gas change over valve disposed in the exhaust gas passage at an upstream of the second turbocharger and changing over flow of exhaust gas to make exhaust gas flow to only the first turbocharger or both of the first and the second turbochargers by opening and closing, an exhaust gas change over valve control means controlling the exhaust gas change over valve, and a generated torque estimation means estimating torque generated by the engine. The generated torque estimation means estimates torque generated by the engine at start of the engine, and the exhaust gas change over valve control means controls the opening of the exhaust gas change over valve based on the estimated torque generated by the engine. For example, the exhaust gas change over valve control means controls the exhaust gas change over valve to an open side when the estimated torque generated by the engine is smaller than a predetermined torque. Consequently, back pressure is quickly dropped at start of the engine and startability of the engine is improved. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
