20140025271 | VEHICLE BRAKE SYSTEM AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME - A vehicle brake system and method that are designed to improve the driver braking experience by compensating for the effects that humidity and temperature can have on brake performance. According to one embodiment, the method determines if a braking event is underway and, if so, it measures humidity and brake temperature. With this information, the method is able to compensate for anticipated changes in the coefficient of friction (n) of one or more brake components, such as brake pads or rotors, and to provide a modified brake command signal accordingly. | 01-23-2014 |

20120102944 | Method and System for Limiting Output of a Boosted Engine - A method for operating a turbocharged engine is disclosed. In one example, an engine operation is adjusted in response to a turbocharger expansion ratio. Degradation of the engine may be reduced under some engine operating conditions by adjusting engine operation in response to the turbocharger expansion ratio. | 05-03-2012 |
20130118461 | NOx FEEDBACK FOR COMBUSTION CONTROL - A method for controlling combustion in an engine is provided. The method comprises under a first condition, adjusting an EGR amount of a total cylinder charge in response to engine out NOx levels being below a first threshold. In this way, NOx levels may be used as feedback to control combustion stability. | 05-16-2013 |
20130227945 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR LIMITING OUTPUT OF A BOOSTED ENGINE - A method for operating a turbocharged engine is disclosed. In one example, during a first condition an engine operation is adjusted in response to a turbocharger expansion ratio exceeding a first limit and during a second condition an engine operation is adjusted in response to the turbocharger expansion ratio exceeding a second limit that differs from the first limit. Degradation of the engine may be reduced under some engine operating conditions by adjusting engine operation in response to the turbocharger expansion ratio. | 09-05-2013 |
20140301925 | ENHANCED REAL-TIME AMMONIA SLIP DETECTION - Systems and methods for detecting ammonia slip in an exhaust system based upon transient NOx sensor responses are described. In one example method, an exhaust system allocates tailpipe NOx sensor output to NOx and NH | 10-09-2014 |
20140331643 | DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER PASSIVE REGENERATION DURING STATIONARY POWER TAKE-OFF - The systems and method described above in the present disclosure allow for regeneration of a diesel particulate filter while a vehicle is in stationary power take-off mode. Described is a method of: during select power take-off conditions, reducing an EGR rate responsive to an indication to regenerate a diesel particulate filter. | 11-13-2014 |
20150121865 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR LIMITING OUTPUT OF A BOOSTED ENGINE - A method for operating a turbocharged engine is disclosed. In one example, during a first condition an engine operation is adjusted in response to a turbocharger expansion ratio exceeding a first limit and during a second condition an engine operation is adjusted in response to the turbocharger expansion ratio exceeding a second limit that differs from the first limit. Degradation of the engine may be reduced under some engine operating conditions by adjusting engine operation in response to the turbocharger expansion ratio. | 05-07-2015 |
