90 Engine fuel diagnosis device and control apparatus for automatic transmission having the device US12678098 2009-07-22 US08428808B2 2013-04-23 Tomohiro Kaedei; Mitsuhiro Fukao; Shinji Kato
An engine fuel diagnosis device is disclosed that diagnoses whether an unexpected fuel is being used in an internal combustion engine. The fuel diagnosis device includes an inclination detecting section, a first estimating section, an acceleration detecting section, and a diagnosing section. The first estimating section computes a first estimated acceleration, which is a vehicle acceleration obtained when fuel injection is executed in the internal combustion engine while the vehicle is traveling uphill or downhill, based on an engine power, which is estimated based on the engine operation state on the assumption that a previously expected fuel is being used, and the inclination detected by the inclination detecting section. The diagnosing section computes a first deviation degree indicating the degree of deviation between the first estimated acceleration and the actual acceleration detected when the first estimated acceleration is computed. The diagnosing section diagnoses the usage state of the unexpected fuel based on the first deviation degree.
91 Control device for power transmission device for vehicle US13056045 2009-08-28 US08342274B2 2013-01-01 Tatsuya Imamura; Tooru Matsubara; Atsushi Tabata; Yuji Iwase; Kenta Kumazaki; Keita Imai
When an engine is driven on a different type of fuel (for example, ethanol-containing fuel) from a reference fuel (for example, gasoline) and the engine torque is thus greater than that produced when the engine is driven on the reference fuel, a differential state control device expands a non-differential range compared to that at the time when the reference fuel is used. Thus, in the case where a plurality of types of fuel including the reference fuel are supplied to the engine, the advantage of switching a power distribution mechanism between a differential enabled state and a non-differential state can be fully utilized in correspondence with engine torque characteristics which may vary in accordance with the type of fuel for the engine. As a result, the fuel consumption rate can be reduced in correspondence with the plurality of types of fuel supplied to the engine, for example.

93 Control device for vehicular power transmitting device US12155303 2008-06-02 US08246512B2 2012-08-21 Atsushi Tabata; Tooru Matsubara; Hiroyuki Shibata; Kenta Kumazaki
In a control device for a vehicular power transmitting device, if engine torque TE generated with using a fuel other than a basic fuel by an internal combustion engine (8) connected to a shifting mechanism (10) for power transmitting capability, exceeds torque TES generated with using a basic fuel, a downshift is initiated at a lower accel-opening than that at which the downshift is initiated with using the basic fuel. That is, the shifting is performed at a shift point enabling the suppression of a torque increase in consideration of an increase in engine torque TE generated by the internal combustion engine, thereby preventing rotary elements of the shifting mechanism (10) from reaching high-speed rotations during a transition in downshift. This minimizes a drop in durability of the shifting mechanism (10).

A temperature sensor detects a temperature of a fuel pipe for supplying fuel from a fuel tank to an engine. A HV-ECU controls switching of a traveling mode including an EV mode for traveling while stopping engine and a HV mode for traveling while operating engine. HV-ECU receives a detected value of temperature from an engine ECU and switches the traveling mode from the EV mode to the HV mode when temperature of fuel pipe is increased to not less than a prescribed threshold value at the time of traveling in the EV mode.
97 Device for entering fuel price information into vehicles. US12558669 2009-09-14 US20100102997A1 2010-04-29 John Pierre Pikolon
A vehicular number input device used for entering fuel/energy price information into a vehicle's internal computer, mileage computer, mileage software or software monitoring system. This number input device is secured to the vehicle near the gas cap. The fuel/energy price data entered can then be displayed to show real-time fuel efficiency in terms of dollars and cents during the operation of the vehicle or when it has stopped. The optimal device claimed has the best advantage for fuel cost input since it is simple to use and inexpensive to produce.The location of the device is convenient since a user who is pumping gas/recharging power usually has a few moments to himself to enter numbers while the gas is being filled. It's the perfect opportunity to enter fuel price data into a vehicle's computer. This device provides a simple, unique and convenient option for drivers wishing to view of their vehicle's fuel expense consumption costs as it occurs.
