Abstract: An apparatus for adjusting power and noise characteristics of an internal combustion engine comprises a wall configured to define an engine cylinder that includes a bore and a compression relief passage. A compression relief valve is configured to selectively adjust fluid flow capacity of the compression relief passage. A manifold is configured to be in fluid communication with the exhaust passage and includes an exhaust bypass valve to permit exhaust to at least partially bypass a noise suppressor. Operational characteristics of the engine can be adjusted along a range that extends from a first set of operational characteristics present when both the compression relief valve and the exhaust bypass valve are in a fully open position to a second set of operational characteristics present when both the compression relief valve and the exhaust bypass valve are in a fully closed position.

Abstract: A control apparatus is applied to an internal combustion engine equipped with a plurality of cylinders, a variable valve actuation system capable of switching the operation mode of intake and exhaust valve between an inactive mode and an active mode on a cylinder-by-cylinder basis, and a fuel injection valve capable of supplying fuel to each cylinder. When the engine speed is equal to or lower than a first engine speed, the control apparatus performs cylinder deactivation in the internal combustion engine by skip firing control. When the engine speed is higher than the first engine speed, the control apparatus performs cylinder deactivation in the internal combustion engine by fixed deactivated cylinder control.

Abstract: A compression-ignition low octane gasoline engine. The engine uses low octane gasoline and a compression-ignition method, does not require a spark plug, and compared with ordinary gasoline engines, increases thermal efficiency by approximately 40% and reduces green-house effects caused by emissions by approximately 45%. The “compression-ignition” of the low octane gasoline engine is a diffusion charge compression-ignition, differing from a homogeneous charge compression-ignition. The compression ratio in a cylinder can be 14 to 22, while an ordinary gasoline engine has a compression ratio of 7 to 11. The low octane gasoline engine has a simple structure, easy combustion control, a low noise level, and a low failure rate. As the low octane gasoline can be free of aromatic hydrocarbons, and not require the addition of antiknock agents such as MTBE and MMT, the present novel gasoline engine is a highly efficient, clean, and environmentally friendly internal combustion engine.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for operating a split exhaust engine system that provides blowthrough air and exhaust gas recirculation to an intake passage via a first exhaust manifold and exhaust gas to an exhaust passage via a second exhaust manifold. In one example, one or more valves of a set of first exhaust valves coupled to the second exhaust manifold may be deactivated in response to select engine operating conditions, while maintaining active all valves of a set of second exhaust valves coupled to the first exhaust manifold. The select engine operating conditions may include one or more of a deceleration fuel shut-off condition, a part throttle condition, and a cold start condition.

Abstract: A controller of a hybrid vehicle is configured to operate the internal combustion engine with ignition timing of the internal combustion engine during the execution of the first warm-up control for operating the internal combustion engine at a first operating point further on a retard side than ignition timing of the internal combustion engine during the execution of the second warm-up control for operating the internal combustion engine at a second operating point, regardless of the driving force required for traveling after the execution of the first warm up control. The controller is configured to set the output of the internal combustion engine and the operation characteristic of the intake valve in accordance with a predetermined characteristic relationship in which the output of the internal combustion engine and the operation characteristic of the intake valve correspond to each other during the execution of the second warm-up control.

Abstract: A diesel engine, in particular a high-power diesel engine, which has a variable valve train including an adjusting unit for adjusting a valve opening time, a valve lift, a camshaft phase position and/or a valve steering, and a control or regulating unit for controlling the adjusting unit. The control and/or regulating unit includes at least one operational mode provided for starting the engine when the engine is at a low temperature, in which the control and/or regulating unit is provided to adjust the valve opening time, at least during a preliminary phase for at least one inlet valve, which overlaps at least with one compression stroke of an associated cylinder, and to interrupt an injection of fuel at least into the cylinder associated with the inlet valve. The invention also relates to a method for starting such a diesel engine.

Abstract: Start-up of an internal combustion engine comprises maintaining one or more engine valves in an engine cylinder in a continuously open state for more than one engine cycle during engine cranking. When it is determined that an engine parameter or transmission oil pressure has reached a predetermined value, maintenance of the one or more engine valves in the continuously open state is discontinued and fuel is subsequently provided to the engine cylinder for engine start-up. In various embodiments, the engine parameter may comprise an engine temperature parameter, an engine pressure parameter or an engine electrical parameter.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for reducing late burn induced cylinder pre-ignition events. Forced entry of residuals from a late burning cylinder into a neighboring cylinder may be detected based on engine block vibrations sensed in a window during an open exhaust valve of the late burning cylinder. In response to the entry of residuals, a pre-ignition mitigating action, such as fuel enrichment or deactivation, is performed in the neighboring cylinder.
