| 81 | INTAKE PARAMETER-CALCULATING DEVICE FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE AND METHOD OF CALCULATING INTAKE PARAMETER | US13635382 | 2011-03-02 | US20130030776A1 | 2013-01-31 | Toshinori Tsukamoto; Naoki Oie; Masaaki Nagashima |
| To provide an intake parameter-calculating device and intake parameter-calculating method for an internal combustion engine, which are capable of accurately calculating intake parameters in a case where an intake throttle valve is provided. The intake parameter-calculating device 1 includes an ECU 2. The ECU 2 calculates an error KTHERRCOR using an error model equation (8) (step 2), and calculates a correction coefficient KTHCOR as the reciprocal of the sum of the error KTHERRCOR and 1 (step 3). The ECU 2 calculates a passing air amount GAIRTH by correcting a basic passing air amount GAIRTHN calculated by an equation (11) using a correction coefficient KTHCOR (step 6). A model parameter A for the error model equation (8) is calculated using equations (14) to (18) by onboard identifying calculation with uniform weighting (steps 48 to 53). | ||||||

| 86 | METHOD OF CONTROLLING CAMSHAFT PHASE BASED ON HUMIDITY | US15429219 | 2017-02-10 | US20180230864A1 | 2018-08-16 | Christopher E. Whitney; David N. Hayden; Nicola Pisu; Stephen P. Levijoki |
| A method of phasing the opening and closing of internal combustion engine intake and exhaust valves relative to the rotation of the crankshaft is based upon changes in engine speed, engine load and ambient relative humidity. During certain conditions of higher humidity, in order to maintain good combustion stability and thus overall engine operation, it is necessary to reduce intake and exhaust valve overlap by adjusting the phase of the intake and exhaust camshafts. This is achieved by utilizing a set of cam position reference values and constraints based upon engine speed, engine load and humidity that are contained in lookup tables that adjust and limit cam position and valve overlap. Generally speaking, in order to maintain optimum engine performance, intake and exhaust valve overlap is reduced with higher ambient humidity and vice versa. | ||||||
