摘要:
A data store includes, for a dealer of interest, a target inventory mix rate for an item having a feature. A computing device is configured to perform an optimization to obtain a recommended feature allocation of the item including the feature by minimizing a difference between a projected inventory mix rate for the feature and the target inventory mix rate for the feature.

摘要:
An electronic engine control (EEC) module executes both open loop and closed loop neural network processes to control the air/fuel mixture ratio of a vehicle engine to hold the fuel mixture at stoichiometry. The open loop neural network provides transient air/fuel control to provide a base stoichiometric air/fuel mixture ratio signal in response to throttle position under current engine speed and load conditions. The base air/fuel mixture ratio signal from the open loop network is additively combined with a closed loop trimming signal which varies the air/fuel mixture ratio in response to variations in the sensed exhaust gas oxygen level. Each neural network function is defined by a unitary data structure which defines the network architecture, including the number of node layers, the number of nodes per layer, and the interconnections between nodes. In addition, the data structure holds weight values which determine the manner in which network signals are combined. The network definition data structures are created by a network training system which utilizes an external training processor which employs gradient methods to derive network weight values in accordance with a cost function which quantitatively defines system objectives and an identification network which is pretrained to provide gradient signals representative of the behavior of the physical plant. The training processor executes training cycles asynchronously with the operation of the EEC module in a representative test vehicle.

摘要:
A electronic engine control (EEC) module executes a neural network processing program to control the idle speed of an internal combustion engine by controlling the bypass air (throttle duty cycle) and the engine's ignition timing. The neural network is defined by a unitary data structure which defmes the network architecture, including the number of node layers, the number of nodes per layer, and the interconnections between nodes. To achieve idle speed control, the neural network processes input signals indicating the current operating state of the engine, including engine speed, the intake mass air flow rate, a desired engine speed, engine temperature, and other variables which influence engine speed, including loads imposed by power steering and air conditioning systems. The network definition data structure holds weight values which determine the manner in which network signals, including the input signals, are combined. The network definition data structures are created by a network training system which utilizes an external training processor which employ dynamic gradient methods to derive network weight values in accordance with a cost function which quantitatively defines system objectives and an identification network which is pretined to provide gradient signals representative of the behavior of the physical plant. The training processor executes training cycles asynchronously with the operation of the EEC module in a representative test vehicle.
摘要:
A method of automating the calibration of lookup tables containing correction values to be used in an on-board vehicle system is disclosed. The method includes training a neural network to model engine behavior by outputting cylinder specific crankshaft acceleration correction values in response to any engine speed and load input conditions. The correction values generated are stored in a memory device. The training takes place off-board the vehicle, using a data set previously obtained from operating a representative engine under normal operating conditions.
摘要:
A method for identifying engine combustion failure of an internal combustion engine having a plurality of cylinders, a crankshaft and a crankshaft position sensor includes the steps of operating the internal combustion engine to rotate the crankshaft, measuring rotational quantities of the crankshaft corresponding to events created by each of the plurality of cylinders during operation of the internal combustion engine, correcting the rotational quantities measured to remove periodic position irregularities to generate a corrected temporal signal, generating an acceleration signal of the crankshaft using the corrected temporal signals, and identifying combustion failures as a function of the acceleration signal. A time-lagged recurrent neural network utilizes the acceleration signal, along with other engine parameters to identify the cylinder-specific misfire events.
摘要:
Irregularities in crankshaft velocity introduced when measuring crankshaft rotation at a section of a crankshaft in an internal combustion engine that is less damped to torsional oscillations than is another more accessible crankshaft section are corrected by performing a nonlinear transformation via a neural network to predict rotation measurements that would have been obtained at the inaccessible section from data actually collected at the accessible crankshaft section. Thus, the effects of torsional oscillations in the crankshaft are substantially filtered away, resulting in crankshaft acceleration values that form the basis of a misfire detector having nearly maximum signal-to-noise performance.
