Abstract: A canister for absorption of fuel vapors from a fuel tank, includes a hollow body defining an internal chamber containing absorbent material, a first opening communicating with a tank vent conduit, a second opening vented towards the atmosphere, and a third opening communicating with a conduit connected to an engine intake manifold. The canister body has outer and inner side walls parallel to and spaced apart from each other, and defining therebetween a thermally insulating interspace extending continuously for the whole circumferential extension of the outer side wall, on all sides of the canister body, whereby said thermally insulating interspace surrounds the internal chamber and promotes saving of heat generated inside the internal chamber in the absorption operating mode, during an engine inoperative stage, so as to improve canister scavenging efficiency during a subsequent stage wherein the scavenging operating mode is activated, when the engine is operative.

Abstract: A floor-panel structure for a vehicle includes a front body subassembly, a front floor structure, including a central longitudinal tunnel, two lateral longitudinal beams, connected to the floor structure and the body subassembly, and two intermediate longitudinal beams, which connect the floor structure to the body subassembly and extend in areas between the lateral longitudinal beams and central longitudinal tunnel. The lateral longitudinal beams each include a sheet-metal profile element having an open cross section, a front portion reinforced for withstanding relatively high axial loads, and a remaining portion that is more ductile than said front portion so as to be more liable to collapse. Each lateral longitudinal beam is constituted by a single sheet element of steel, and said reinforced front portion is constituted by a hardened portion obtained by subjecting only the front portion to a thermal treatment using high-frequency induction heating.

Abstract: A device for controlling a gearbox includes a transmission member that transmits movement of a control lever to a control cable. A locking member, having a first and second portions for locking the lever in respective park and neutral positions, is mounted in a device casing. An actuator causes the locking member to rotate when the lever must be unlocked from park position and when the lever must be locked in neutral position. The device includes an anti-locking pawl mounted on the transmission member, having an operative position preventing the second portion from being received in a transmission member seat for locking the lever in the neutral position. If the lever is freed from park position and moved through the neutral position while the actuator is active, the pawl is pushed by the locking member into its operative position, thereby preventing unwanted locking of the lever in the neutral position.

Abstract: A diesel engine system includes a diesel engine, an exhaust line, a particulate filter interposed in the exhaust line and an electronic control unit for controlling fuel injectors associated with cylinders of the engine. When an accumulated particulate mass in said filter reaches a predetermined threshold, a filter regeneration mode is activated, including activating post-injections of fuel by controlling said injectors, to determine a start of an automatic filter regeneration step, which is caused by an increase in temperature of exhaust gases fed to the filter. The temperature increase is sufficient to burn particulate in the filter. The post-injections of fuel are deactivated whenever a critical condition occurs for at least a first period of time, the critical condition being one in which a temperature value upstream of the filter exceeds a first threshold value. In this case, the regeneration mode is resumed following disappearance of the critical condition.

Abstract: An automotive active brake noise damping system to actively damp braking noise perceivable in the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle comprising a braking system comprising a plurality of braking assemblies associated with wheels of the motor vehicle. The automotive active brake noise damping system comprises a sensory system to sense quantities that allow braking noise perceived in the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle and generated by the braking assemblies during braking to be estimated, an audio system to diffuse sounds in the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle, and an electronic control unit connected to the sensory system and the audio system, and programmed to control the audio system based on the quantities sensed by the sensor system to actively damp the braking noise perceived in the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle. The sensory system comprises vibration sensors, conveniently in the form of piezoelectric accelerators, which are applied to the braking assemblies to sense the amplitude of the vibrations generated by the braking assemblies during braking, and the electronic control unit is programmed to store a mathematical model, which correlates vibrations generated by the braking assemblies during braking with corresponding braking noise perceived in the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle and produced by the braking assemblies during braking, estimate the braking noise perceived in the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle and generated by the braking assemblies of the braking system during braking as a function of the vibrations generated by the braking assemblies during braking and sensed by the vibration sensors applied to the braking assemblies and of the stored mathematical model, compute an interfering sound to be diffused in the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle to damp the braking noise perceived in the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle and generated by the braking assemblies during braking, and control the audio system to cause it to diffuse the computed interfering sound.

Abstract: Described is a device for synchronization of a reverse gear for a vehicle gearbox including: a support shaft fixed in rotation; an idle gear wheel for engagement with a first reverse gear wheel on a gearbox primary shaft and a second reverse gear wheel on a gearbox secondary shaft, said idle gear wheel mounted rotatable and axially slidable on said support shaft and having a hub including a first friction surface; and a synchronizer ring mounted mobile on said support shaft along an axial travel and countered axially by an elastic element along said axial travel, said synchronizer ring having a second friction surface for engagement with said first friction surface. Axial movement of the idle gear wheel towards an engagement position of the reverse gear causes drawing of the synchronizer ring implementing, prior to reverse gear engagement, braking of rotary movement of the idle gear wheel.
