Method and apparatus to limit a midbed temperature of a catalytic converter
TL;DR: In this paper, an electronic engine controller limits the maximum temperature of a midbed point within a catalytic converter by determining an instantaneous temperature of the mid-bed point as a function of a temperature of exhaust gas at an exhaust flange, of an exhaust gas inlet to the catalytic converters, and as a result of a predetermined value indicating a temperature rise in the exhaust gas.
Patent
Method and apparatus for maintaining temperatures during engine fuel cutoff modes
Michael John Cullen,Robert Matthew Marzonie,Joseph Norman Ulrey,Richard Walter Sbaschnig,Michael Alan Weyburne,Paul Charles Mingo +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a bit pattern representation of the engine cylinders is used to control the temperature of the exhaust valves during fuel cutoff modes of engine operation, and the method includes cutting off the fuel delivered to the cylinders in an indexed cylinder firing pattern to vary which cylinders receive fuel.
Patent
Method and apparatus for controlling engine torque
Michael John Cullen,Louis Robert Christensen,Peter John Grutter,Michael Alan Weyburne,Joseph Norman Ulrey,David George Farmer +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method for reducing the engine torque being produced by an internal combustion engine to a desired engine torque through coordinated control of spark retard, cylinder cut-out and air/fuel scheduling is presented.
Patent
Torque managed traction control for the drive wheels of an automotive vehicle
Joseph L. Hughes,Louis Robert Christensen,Wallace R. Wade,Peter John Grutter,Michael Alan Weyburne +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an electronic driveline controller and traction control method for an engine driven vehicle was proposed, where the tractive effort of the driving wheels was controlled to avoid excess slip of the traction wheels relative to the vehicle road surface.
