    Abstract: In various described embodiments skip fire control is used to deliver a desired engine output. A controller determines a skip fire firing fraction and (as appropriate) associated engine settings that are suitable for delivering a requested output. In one aspect, the skip fire controller is arranged to select a base firing fraction that has a repeating firing cycle length that will repeat at least a designated number of times per second at the current engine speed. Such an arrangement can be helpful in reducing the occurrence of undesirable vibrations.

    Abstract: A variety of methods and arrangements for reducing noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) in a skip fire engine control system are described. In one aspect, a firing sequence is used to operate the engine in a skip fire manner A smoothing torque is determined that is applied to a powertrain by an energy storage/release device. The smoothing torque is arranged to at least partially cancel out variation in torque generated by the skip fire firing sequence. Various methods, powertrain controllers, arrangements and computer software related to the above operations are also described.

    Abstract: In one aspect of the invention, an engine is operated in a skip cylinder engine braking mode. In the skip cylinder engine braking mode, selected working cycles of selected working chambers are deactivated. Other selected working cycles of the selected working chambers are operated in a braking mode. Accordingly, individual working chambers are sometimes deactivated and sometimes operated in the braking mode while the engine is operating in the skip cylinder engine braking mode. Various methods for cylinder control are described, which improve fuel economy, catalytic converter performance, and vehicle NVH characteristics.

    Abstract: A method for improving the operation of an internal combustion engine implementing cylinder deactivation is described. Generally, the pattern of combustion events that are fired and skipped together with the geometry of the exhaust and/or intake system can create unpleasant acoustic issues. By slightly altering the timing of the cylinder intake and exhaust valves, these acoustic issues can be mitigated. The valve timing can be altered on a combustion event by combustion event basis. Alternatively, valve timing for different groups of cylinders can be modified together.

    Abstract: A variety of skip fire engine controllers and control methods are described that utilize look-up tables, state machines, or other data structures to determine the sequence or ordering of skip-fire firings. In one aspect, a skip fire engine controller utilizes a look-up table to determine when firings are appropriate to deliver a desired engine output. In some embodiments, a firing timing controller tracks a value indicative of the portion of a firing that has been requested, but not yet directed and such information is utilized in the determination of the timing of the firings. The accumulator value is particularly useful when transitioning between different requested firing fractions.
