Abstract: An intake air circuit is structured to transmit intake air from a turbocharger compressor to an intake manifold of an engine. A charge air cooler (“CAC”), a bypass line, and a bypass heater are each positioned along the intake air circuit in parallel with each other. A first control valve is structured to controllably divert the intake air around the CAC. A second control valve is structured to controllably divert the intake air around at least one of the bypass line and the bypass heater. A controller operatively coupled to each of the engine, and the first and second control valves is structured to control each of the first and second control valves to cause the intake air to flow along a determined desired flow path based on each of measured ambient temperature and measured engine load.

Abstract: A fluid transfer connector securely connects a port fitting of a fluid device to a fluid hose. The fluid transfer connector includes an attachment member attachable to the port fitting of the fluid storage device. The fluid transfer connector further includes a hose adapter including a housing with a seal that wipes and sealingly engages the port fitting when the hose adapter is engaged to the attachment member.

Abstract: A controller for a vehicle includes at least one processor and at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the controller to perform various operations. The operations include determining that the vehicle is in reverse and in response, initiating a cylinder deactivation mode for an engine of the vehicle.

Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems for igniting fuel for an internal combustion engine, an ignition system include a first ignition device associated with a pre-combustion chamber of a cylinder and a second ignition device associated with a main combustion chamber of the cylinder. An engine control unit is operably connected to both the engine and the ignition system to ignite fuel for the cylinder with the first ignition device independently of igniting fuel with the second ignition device. The engine control unit determines an occurrence of a combustion condition and in response thereto (i) ignites fuel for combustion with both the first and the second ignition devices or (ii) ignites fuel for combustion only with the second ignition device. The engine control unit determines a second combustion condition and in response thereto ignites fuel only with the first ignition device.

Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems for starting an internal combustion engine under cold start conditions are disclosed. A combustible mixture is supplied to a plurality of cylinders of the internal combustion engine, where a number of ignition devices are operably connected with less than all of the plurality of cylinders so that at least one of the plurality of cylinders does not include an ignition device. In one form, only one ignition device is included in a bank of cylinders. In response to a cold start condition, a spark by the plurality of ignition devices is generated to cause ignition of the combustible mixture and start the internal combustion engine. In response to a normal or non-cold starting condition, the internal combustion engine is started by compression ignition where none of the ignition devices generate a spark.

Abstract: A method includes operating a spark ignition engine and flowing low pressure exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) from an exhaust to an inlet of the spark ignition engine. The method includes interpreting a parameter affecting an operation of the spark ignition engine, and determining a knock index value in response to the parameter. The method further includes reducing a likelihood of engine knock in response to the knock index value exceeding a knock threshold value.
