摘要:
A metal/air battery includes an oxygen management system that delivers oxygen to the battery during a discharge cycle. The oxygen management system includes an oxygen separations unit and an oxygenated gas supply reservoir that are fluidly coupled to a positive electrode of the battery via a valve system. The valve system selectively places the oxygen separations unit and the oxygenated gas supply reservoir in fluid communication with the positive electrode during the discharge cycle. The oxygen management system also includes a compressor with an outlet fluidly coupled to the oxygenated gas supply reservoir and an inlet fluidly connected to the oxygen separations unit via the valve system. The valve system selectively places the oxygen separations unit in fluid communication with the oxygenated gas supply reservoir during one or more of the discharge cycle and a charge cycle of the battery.

A method for predicting and correcting an impending misfire in a homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine includes: modeling HCCI engine operation in a nominal, steady-state operating region and in unstable operating regions bordering the steady-state operating region, using a zero-dimensional model; predicting an occurrence of an engine misfire based on the modeling of the HCCI engine operation; and providing a remedial corrective measure when an engine misfire is predicted. The remedial corrective measure includes one of: (a) late injection to avoid full combustion during a trapping cycle, and a reduction in amount of injected fuel to account for residual fuel of the previous cycle; or (b) earlier exhaust valve closing to trigger combustion of residual fuel within the trapping cycle, and a later injection and reduction of injected fuel to account for residual fuel of the previous cycle.

A system and method for providing a fault tolerant vehicle dynamics control (VDC) is described. The system includes a fault tolerance module that receives an indication of a fault in at least one of the actuators of the VDC and selects a fault compensation mode to maintain the stability of the motor vehicle in light of the received fault indication. The fault tolerance module proceeds by diagnosing at least one fault in at least one of the actuators, selecting a fault compensation mode based on the detected at least one fault and the driving condition, and compensating for the at least one fault by optimally controlling remaining operable actuators according to the fault compensation mode.

A lithium-ion battery cell includes at least two working electrodes, each including an active material, an inert material, an electrolyte and a current collector, a first separator region arranged between the at least two working electrodes to separate the at least two working electrodes so that none of the working electrodes are electronically connected within the cell, an auxiliary electrode including a lithium reservoir, and a second separator region arranged between the auxiliary electrode and the at least two working electrodes to separate the auxiliary electrode from the working electrodes so that none of the working electrodes is electronically connected to the auxiliary electrode within the cell.

In a multi-mode, 2-stroke/4-stroke internal combustion engine operation, by switching the engine stroke from 4-stroke operation to 2-stroke operation so that the combustion frequency is doubled, doubling of the engine power is achieved even at the same work output per cycle. In order to meet the demand of extremely high power, the engine operates in 4-stroke boosted SI operation transitioned from 2-stroke HCCI operation at pre-set level of power and crank speed requirements. By combining the multi-stroke (2-stroke HCCI and 4-stroke HCCI) and multi-mode operation (2-stroke HCCI and 4-stroke boosted SI operation), full load range and overall high efficiency with minimal NOx emission are achieved.

An ignition system of an internal combustion engine, of a motor vehicle in particular, having at least one device for igniting a jet of a fuel/air mixture which has a chamber enclosing a process space in which the ignition of the fuel/air mixture takes place. The chamber has a device for enriching the process space with oxygen radicals.
摘要:
A method and system of controlling auto-ignition timing in an internal combustion engine cylinder in which the timing of auto-ignition in prechambers that are coupled to the cylinder is precisely controlled. The auto-ignition in the prechambers is produced by a compression stroke using pistons situated within the prechambers. Hot gas jets produced by the prechamber auto-ignitions are introduced into the charge space of the cylinder and rapidly induce a second auto-ignition of the mixture in the cylinder. By precisely controlling the timing of the auto-ignitions within the prechambers, the timing of the auto-ignition within the cylinders can, in turn, be precisely controlled.
