20080262677Vehicle body slip angle-estimating device and method and engine control unit - A vehicle body slip angle-estimating device which, in estimating a vehicle body slip angle with an algorithm using a nonlinear model, is capable of accurately estimating a vehicle body slip angle irrespective of whether the frequency of occurrence of a state during traveling of the vehicle. A basic value-calculating section calculates a basic value of a vehicle body slip angle with an algorithm using a neural network model. A turning state-determining section determines whether the vehicle is in a predetermined limit turning traveling state. A correction value-calculating section calculates a correction value with an algorithm using a predetermined linear model when the vehicle is in the predetermined state. In the other cases, the correction value is set to 0. A straight traveling-determining section sets the angle to the sum of the basic value and the correction value when the vehicle is in a turning traveling state.10-23-2008
20090293842IGNITION TIMING CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE AND ENGINE CONTROL UNIT - An ignition timing control system for an internal combustion engine, which is capable of properly carrying out ignition timing control over a wide control range, thereby making it possible to improve fuel economy, and is capable of suppressing combustion fluctuation, thereby making it possible to improve drivability. Ignition timing is calculated, when the engine is determined to be in an intense combustion mode, such that a largest in-cylinder pressure angle at which in-cylinder pressure becomes largest converges to a target angle, whereas when the engine is determined to be in a weak combustion mode, the same is calculated by feedback, based on the target angle and combustion state parameters indicative of a combustion state in the cylinder.12-03-2009

20080230930INTAKE AIR AMOUNT CONTROLLING APPARATUS FOR AN INTERNAL-COMBUSTION ENGINE - An intake air amount controlling apparatus of an engine is provided. The apparatus comprises an intake manifold that is branched from an intake manifold collecting portion of the engine. The intake manifold communicates with an intake port of a cylinder head of a corresponding cylinder. The apparatus further comprises a throttle valve in the intake manifold of the cylinder and a throttle bore provided in the intake manifold. The throttle bore has a curved surface. The throttle valve rotates such that one half of the throttle valve contacts with the curved surface of the throttle bore until the throttle valve reaches a predetermined opening degree. Thus, an air flow via the one half of the throttle valve is prevented from entering the intake port. An air flow via the other half of the throttle valve is allowed to enter the intake port. Areas of cross sections, which are orthogonal to an air flow passing in the intake manifold, of the intake manifold at upstream and downstream of the throttle valve are larger than an area of a cross section, which is orthogonal to an air flow entering the intake port, crossing an open face at which the intake manifold communicates with the intake port.09-25-2008
20090055074Control for determining a firing timing of an internal-combustion engine - A control for determining a firing timing of an engine is provided. An in-cylinder pressure is detected at a predetermined time interval. An in-cylinder pressure for every predetermined crank angle is calculated based on the detected in-cylinder pressure. A motoring pressure in a case where combustion is not performed in the engine is estimated. It is detected that a pressure difference between the calculated in-cylinder pressure and the motoring pressure has exceeded a determination value. A time point is identified, as a firing timing, at which the pressure difference has exceeded a determination value with a finer resolution than the resolution of the predetermined crank angle interval through an interpolation calculation. The interpolation calculation uses a first crank angle when it is detected that the pressure difference has exceeded the determination value, the pressure difference corresponding to the first crank angle, a second crank angle previous to the first crank angle by the predetermined crank angle and a pressure difference corresponding to the second crank angle.02-26-2009
