Abstract: In a variable compression ratio internal combustion engine in which the compression ratio is changed by changing the combustion chamber volume, the present invention enables to inhibit irregularities in the air-fuel ratio involved by changing of the combustion chamber volume. In a transition period during which the compression ratio is changed, the actual volume of the combustion chamber realized by a compression ratio changing mechanism is detected. A factor that influences the air-fuel ratio (for example, fuel injection quantity, cylinder intake air quantity or amount of EGR) is controlled based on the actual volume of the combustion chamber thus detected to make the air-fuel ratio substantially equal to that before and after the change of the compression ratio.

Abstract: The flow meter is a device having a laser Doppler anemometer (LDA) which measures the instantaneous center line velocity of fluid flow in a pipe and processes the instantaneous velocity so obtained to compute the volumetric flow rate, mass rate, and other flow characteristics as instantaneous quantities and/or integrated over a time interval using an electronic processing method which provides an exact solution to the Navier-Stokes equations for any periodically oscillating flow. The flow meter is particularly adapted for measuring the flow characteristics of high pressure automotive fuel injection systems. Three embodiments of the flow meter are described, including a stationary stand for off-line bench testing flow rate in a fuel injection system, a portable flow meter for inline testing in a vehicle's fuel line, and an on-board flow meter sensor connected to an engine control module.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus using a gas concentration sensor for accurately controlling an air fuel ratio in an internal combustion engine, featuring in that before the fuel-vaporized gas purged from the canister enters into the intake manifold whereat the sensor detects the gas concentration of the purged gas, the sensor is adjusted so as to adjust a zero point (or zero output level) of the sensor output. In step 100 of FIG. 7, a judgment is made as to whether the flow rate of air reaches a predetermined level. In step 110, processing for zero-point correction of the gas concentration sensor is performed. Specifically, in a state in which the purge valve 17 is closed, concentration of purge gas is measured by use of the gas concentration sensor 4, and a sensor output S1 at that time is obtained. Subsequently, the sensor output S1 is compared with a correct sensor output S0 in order to obtain a difference &Dgr;S therebetween. Accordingly, during subsequent gas concentration measurement, a value S3 obtained through subtraction of the difference &Dgr;S from an obtained sensor output S2 is used as a correct sensor output. In step 120, a supply amount of purge gas, i.e., a concentration of the purge gas to be supplied is obtained. In subsequent step 130, the purge valve 17 is driven in order to supply purge gas to the intake pipe 2 in a required amount (A%).

Abstract: A system for controlling a vehicle drivetrain in a fuel-efficient manner includes, in one embodiment, a control computer operable to determine a number of engine load/engine speed boundary conditions as functions of brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) contours in relation to an engine output characteristics map and define therefrom an undesirable engine operation region U. As long as the engine is engaged with at least one of the gear ratios of the vehicle transmission, the control computer is operable to maintain or encourage engine operation outside of the region U. In another embodiment, the control computer is operable to define a contour from substantially zero engine load to substantially full engine load, wherein the contour preferably corresponds to a fuel-efficient path from no-load to full-load engine operating conditions. With change gear transmissions, the control computer is operable to control transmission shift points about the contour. With continuous variable transmissions, the control computer is operable to modify the effective gear ratio thereof to maintain engine operation on or about the contour. In either case, fuel efficient operation may be optimized.
