    摘要: A method for indicating a non-urea reductant fault in a powertrain including an internal combustion engine and an aftertreatment system having an aftertreatment device utilizing a catalyst to convert NOx includes monitoring a NOx content exiting the aftertreatment system subsequent to a powertrain start-up event through a test span, monitoring a measure of NOx content entering the aftertreatment system subsequent to a powertrain start-up event through the test span, and determining a measure of NOx conversion accomplished in the aftertreatment device based upon the NOx content exiting the aftertreatment system and the measure of NOx content entering the aftertreatment system. The method includes, through the test span, comparing the measure of NOx conversion determined at a start of the test span to the measure of NOx conversion at a later time within the test span. A non-urea reductant fault is indicated based upon the comparing identifying a reduction in NOx conversion accomplished in the aftertreatment device between the start of the test span and the later time within the test span.

    摘要: There is provided a method for controlling engine valves of an internal combustion engine adapted to selectively operate at one of a first open position and a second open position, including controlling engine operation during a transition from a first to a second combustion mode. The method comprises determining a desired engine airflow based upon an operator torque request. A cylinder intake volume is determined for the desired engine airflow when operating at the first open position. A control scheme is determined to control the engine valves to attain the cylinder intake volume for the desired engine airflow when operating at the second open position. The control scheme is executed and the engine valve is transitioned to the second open position when the cylinder intake volume to operate at the second open position is within a range of authority of the engine valves.

    摘要: A predictive energy management system for a hybrid vehicle that uses certain vehicle information, such as present location, time, 3-D maps and driving history, to determine engine and motor power commands. The system forecasts a driving cycle profile and calculates a driver power demand for a series of N samples based on a predetermined length of time, adaptive learning, etc. The system generates the optimal engine and motor power commands for each N sample based on the minimization of a cost function under constraint equations. The constraint equations may include a battery charge power limit, a battery discharge power limit, whether the battery state of charge is less than a predetermined maximum value, whether the battery state of charge is greater than a predetermined minimum value, motor power output and engine performance. The system defines the cost function as the sum of the total weighted predicted fuel consumed for each sample. The system then selects the motor and engine power commands for the current sample.

    摘要: A microprocessor based electronic spark control for an internal combustion engine is programmed to determine spark time using a prediction of engine speed during the spark period in which the next spark should occur and to make the calculations immediately prior to that period. The prediction is based upon the most recent speed information including a reference period value just prior to the next spark period. Reference pulses produced from a crankshaft driven transducer determine the measured reference periods and preferably comprise a plurality of pulses per spark event. One reference period is chosen as a base period and a weighted difference of recent periods is used to adjust the base to predict the spark period. The spark period or the corresponding engine speed is used in calculating the spark angle and the conversion to spark time. A hardware interrupt to the microprocessor causes the calculations to be made when the reference pulse nearest the next spark occurs.
