A hydraulically operated valve control system includes a hydraulic flow divider including a hydraulic valve adapted to distribute, between two lines feeding respectively to actuators coupled to two inlet or outlet valves of a cylinder, the flow of oil coming either from a source of oil under pressure or from the feeding lines. The oil flow is distributed between the two feeding lines on the basis of the ratio of oil flow-rates in these two lines.

A method is provided for controlling power supply of an electrically powered steering system on-board an automotive land vehicle equipped with a high voltage source and a low voltage source. A first and a second steering motor operate at a nominal operating voltage which is higher than the voltage of the low voltage source, are fed by the high voltage source and may absorb respectively a first and a second nominal operating power. A step-up circuit is connected to the low voltage source, and is adapted to deliver a back-up electrical power in case of failure of the high voltage source. In the method, in case of failure of the high voltage source, back-up electrical power absorbed by each of the two motors is limited on the basis of a priority rule.

A method is provided for estimating the height of the gravity center of a vehicle having at least a front axle and a rear axle each carrying at least two wheels. The method includes determining a first braking period and a second braking period occurring along road portions having substantially the same slope, but where the first and second braking periods result in different vehicle decelerations, and during both braking periods, estimating at least the following variables: vehicle acceleration; the wheel slippage rate for the front and rear axles; the braking forces or braking torque at each of the front and rear axles, or a ratio thereof; and the slope of the corresponding road portion. The method also includes estimating, using only the foregoing estimations made during both periods, the vehicle center of gravity height.

An energy recovery system includes a main line capable of carrying the exhaust gases of an engine, at least a first and a second thermoelectric devices capable of producing electricity by Seebeck effect, the second thermoelectric device being located downstream from the first thermoelectric device, the thermoelectric devices each having an optimum temperature range and a highest admissible temperature. The optimum temperature range and the highest admissible temperature of the second thermoelectric device are lower than the optimum temperature range and the highest admissible temperature of the first thermoelectric device, respectively. The system further includes a controller for controlling the flow rate of the exhaust gases passing against the second thermoelectric device, in order to prevent the second thermoelectric device from being exposed to temperatures exceeding its highest admissible temperature.

This internal combustion engine includes a plurality of cylinders, an air intake line, and an exhaust line. The internal combustion engine also includes a turbocharging system having at least one compressor stage and intake air cooling arrangement having at least one charge air cooler located upstream from the intake manifold. The internal combustion engine further includes an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) line rerouting a portion of the engine's exhaust gas into the air intake line at a point located upstream from the at least one charge air cooler. This engine therefore uses an heat exchanger to cool the EGR gas. Thus, EGR gas mixed with intake air flows through at least one change air cooler before entering the engine cylinders. The efficiency of this cooler—generally of the air/water type—makes it possible to significantly decrease the EGR gas temperature before it enters the cylinders. Less cooling power from the engine cooling system is required to cool down the EGR gas as fresh intake air is used as a cooling medium in the heat exchanger.
