    Abstract: A ranking module determines N ranking values for N predetermined cylinder activation/deactivation sequences of an engine, respectively. N is an integer greater than or equal to two. A cylinder control module, based on the N ranking values, selects one of the N predetermined cylinder activation/deactivation sequences as a desired cylinder activation/deactivation sequence for cylinders of the engine. The cylinder control module also: activates opening of intake and exhaust valves of first ones of the cylinders that are to be activated based on the desired cylinder activation/deactivation sequence; and deactivates opening of intake and exhaust valves of second ones of the cylinders that are to be deactivated based on the desired cylinder activation/deactivation sequence. A fuel control module provides fuel to the first ones of the cylinders and disables fueling to the second ones of the cylinders.

    Abstract: Embodiments include an electric vehicle having a charging port configured to receive an alternating current (AC) power, a direct current (DC) battery, and a bidirectional inverter configured to convert AC power to DC power and to convert DC power to AC power, the bidirectional inverter is selectively connected to the DC battery by propulsion switches. The electric vehicle also includes an AC motor connected to the bidirectional inverter and selectively connected to the charging port by a first charging switch, an isolated DC/DC converter motor selectively connected to the DC battery via a second charging switch and a third charging switch, and a processor configured to control the operation of the propulsion switches, the first charging switch, the second charging switch, and the third charging switch based on an operational mode of the electric vehicle.

    Abstract: A system including a target module determining a target temperature of coolant at an input of an engine for a maximum amount of fuel efficiency. A mode module disables closed loop control based on temperatures of coolant entering the engine and at an output of a radiator. An open loop module determines first and second temperatures of coolant at inputs of a coolant control valve that receive coolant from the radiator and a channel that bypasses the radiator. A ratio module determines a ratio based on the first and second temperatures and the temperatures of the coolant entering the engine and at the radiator output. A closed loop module generates a correction value based on the target temperature and the temperature of the coolant entering the engine. A position module adjusts the coolant control valve based on the ratio, the correction value and whether closed loop control is disabled.
