Abstract:
A transmission has an input member, an output member, four planetary gear sets, a plurality of coupling members and a plurality of torque transmitting devices. Two of the four planetary gear sets are stacked. Two of the planetary gear sets include first, second and third members. The two planetary gear sets that are stacked form a planetary gear set assembly that includes a first, second, third and fourth member. The torque transmitting devices include clutches and brakes.
Abstract:
A system according to the principles of the present invention includes a firing fraction module, an offset generation module, and a firing fraction module. The firing fraction module determines a firing fraction based on a driver torque request. The offset generation module randomly generates an offset. The firing control module adds the firing fraction to a running total each time that a crankshaft of an engine rotates through a predetermined angle, adds the offset to the running total, and executes a firing event in a cylinder of the engine when the running total is greater than or equal to a predetermined value.
Abstract:
A system includes a command generator module, a compensation module, and a fraction module. The command generator module generates a first command value and one of activates and deactivates intake and exhaust valves of a first cylinder of an engine based on the first command value. The compensation module generates a compensation value for a second cylinder of the engine based on a response of a model to the first command value. The fraction module determines a target value based on a torque request, the target value corresponding to a fraction of a total number of cylinders of the engine to be activated. The command generator module further: generates a second command value based on the compensation value and a difference between the target value and the first command value; and one of activates and deactivates intake and exhaust valves of the second cylinder based on the second command value.
Abstract:
A transmission is disclosed having a planetary gear set with three input torque-transmitting mechanisms, such as friction clutches, to achieve torque flow through the planetary gear set to a countershaft gearing arrangement. The transmission includes an input member, an output member, a planetary gear set, an input clutch assembly having three input clutches and a countershaft gearing arrangement. The countershaft gearing arrangement is operatively connected with the planetary gear set and includes: at least three co-planar intermeshing gears, first and second countershafts, a first intermediate shaft and a second intermediate shaft concentric with the first intermediate shaft.
