Engine Rpm And Torque Control Transition

View page
US Patent:
6947824, Sep 20, 2005
Filed:
Jun 22, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/874089
Inventors:
Michael Livshiz - Ann Arbor MI, US
Scott J. Chynoweth - Fenton MI, US
Todd R. Shupe - Milford MI, US
Michael A. Kropinski - Troy MI, US
Assignee:
General Motors Corporation - Detroit MI
International Classification:
F02D041/16
G06F019/00
US Classification:
701103, 701110, 123352, 123361
Abstract:
Internal combustion engine control is generally in accordance with RPM and torque modes. Transition from RPM to torque control is accomplished by employing a mass airflow term accounting for any nonequivalence between RPM mode and torque mode mass airflows corresponding respectively to an RPM mode mass airflow and a closed-throttle mass airflow contribution to a total torque mode mass airflow.

Airflow Variation Learning Using Electronic Throttle Control

US Patent:
7024305, Apr 4, 2006
Filed:
Feb 20, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/689184
Inventors:
David A. Stamm - Howell MI, US
Todd R. Shupe - Milford MI, US
Assignee:
General Motors Corporation - Detroit MI
International Classification:
G06G 7/70
US Classification:
701114, 123494, 123361, 123399, 701102, 701103, 701104, 731182
Abstract:
A throttle area compensation system for use with an electronic throttle control of a vehicle includes a compensation datastore of compensation values indexed by pre-compensated throttle area. A compensation vector learning module receives a pre-compensated throttle area and at least one sensed vehicle condition, and informs the compensation datastore based on the pre-compensated throttle area and the sensed vehicle condition. A throttle area compensation module communicates with the compensation datastore, receives the pre-compensated throttle area, and determines a compensated throttle area based on the pre-compensated throttle area and a corresponding compensation value of the compensation data store.

Torque Based Engine Speed Control

US Patent:
7463970, Dec 9, 2008
Filed:
Mar 13, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/685735
Inventors:
Michael Livshiz - Ann Arbor MI, US
Scott J. Chynoweth - Fenton MI, US
Todd R. Shupe - Milford MI, US
Christopher E. Whitney - Highland MI, US
Assignee:
GM Global Technology Operations, Inc. - Detroit MI
International Classification:
G06F 19/00
F02D 41/00
US Classification:
701114, 123350, 123399
Abstract:
A method of achieving a desired engine speed of an internal combustion engine includes determining the desired engine speed, calculating a slow response torque value based on the desired engine speed and calculating a fast response torque value based on the desired engine speed. A slow response actuator command and a fast response actuator command are generated based on the slow response torque value and the fast response torque value, respectively. Operation of the engine is regulated based on the slow response actuator command and the fast response actuator command to achieve the desired engine speed.

Reserve Torque Management For Engine Speed Control

View page
US Patent:
7650219, Jan 19, 2010
Filed:
Jan 10, 2008
Appl. No.:
11/972090
Inventors:
Michael Livshiz - Ann Arbor MI, US
Scott J. Chynoweth - Davison MI, US
Todd R. Shupe - Milford MI, US
Jeffrey M. Kaiser - Highland MI, US
Christopher E. Whitney - Highland MI, US
Ning Jin - Novi MI, US
International Classification:
G06F 19/00
US Classification:
701101
Abstract:
An engine control module comprises a base reserve module, a power steering reserve module, a reserve torque module, first and second engine actuator modules, and an engine speed control module. The base reserve module determines a base reserve torque. The power steering reserve module determines a power steering reserve torque. The reserve torque module determines a first reserve torque based on the base reserve torque, the power steering reserve torque, and at least one of an oil temperature of an engine and a barometric pressure. The first and second engine actuator modules control first and second actuators of the engine, respectively. The engine speed control module instructs the first engine actuator module to produce a first torque output from the engine and instructs the second engine actuator module to produce a second torque output from the engine.

Cylinder Torque Balancing For Internal Combustion Engines

View page
US Patent:
7654248, Feb 2, 2010
Filed:
Feb 7, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/027532
Inventors:
Kenneth J. Buslepp - Brighton MI, US
Douglas R. Verner - Sterling Heights MI, US
Randall J. Guild - Okemos MI, US
David S. Mathews - Howell MI, US
Todd R. Shupe - Milford MI, US
Robert Douglas Shafto - New Hudson MI, US
Kevin C. Wong - Ann Arbor MI, US
Karen A. Blandino - Fenton MI, US
International Classification:
F02D 41/14
US Classification:
123436, 123673
Abstract:
An engine torque control module comprises a derivative module and a cylinder torque module. The derivative module determines a derivative term for a first cylinder of an internal combustion engine based on rotation of a crankshaft and determines an average derivative term for the first cylinder based upon the derivative term. The cylinder torque module determines an operating condition of the first cylinder based on the average derivative term, adjusts a torque output of the first cylinder based on the operating condition, and adjusts a torque output of a second cylinder based on the operating condition.

G05D 1/00
G06F 7/00
G06F 17/00
US Classification:
701103, 701110, 123350
Abstract:
An engine control system includes a power module, an air flow module, a torque estimation module, and an air control module. The power module determines a power-based torque based on a desired engine speed. The air flow module determines an air flow value based on the power-based torque. The torque estimation module estimates a desired torque based on the air flow value. The air control module selectively determines a throttle area based on the desired torque. A throttle valve is actuated based on the throttle area.

G06F 19/00
US Classification:
701114, 701115
Abstract:
A torque control system comprises a torque correction factor module, a RPM-torque transition module, and a selection module.
