Abstract: To achieve an intermediate lock state in a short period when an engine is stopped and improve the accuracy of confirmation of the intermediate lock state, an engine valve timing control apparatus includes a variable valve timing mechanism configured to vary engine valve timing, and an intermediate lock mechanism configured to restrict relative rotation positions of a first and a second rotor of the valve timing mechanism at an intermediate lock position for starting the engine. Upon detection of an engine stop request, the valve timing mechanism and the intermediate lock mechanism are driven and controlled for establishing an intermediate lock state. When a predetermined period from detection of the engine stop request has expired without detecting the intermediate lock state within the predetermined period, an engine stopping process is executed. Even after the engine stopping process has been executed, monitoring of the intermediate lock state is continued.

Abstract: A rotor (1, 21, 41) for a camshaft adjuster (61), having a rotor base body (3, 23, 43) and a number of rotor blades (5, 25, 45) extending radially outwards and located on the rotor base body (3, 23, 43), each of the blades having a blade end (7, 27, 47). To reduce leakage, the blade ends (7, 27, 47) of the rotor blades (5, 25, 45) take the form of sealing fins (9, 31, 49) that can be deformed radially outwards. A rotor (1, 21, 41) of this type affords the possibility of reducing leakage in a camshaft adjuster (61) using simple engineering and without added costs. The invention also relates to a camshaft adjuster (61) for an internal combustion engine, including a rotor (1, 21, 41) of this type.

Abstract: An ECU transmits a pulsed operation command signal, indicating operation commands for an electric motor used as a VVT actuator, to an electric-motor EDU. The electric-motor EDU recognizes the combination of the direction in which the actuator should be operated (actuator operation direction) and the control mode based on the duty ratio of the operation command signal, and the rotational speed command value based on the frequency of the operation command signal. The electric-motor EDU controls the electric motor according to the control commands. The duty ratio indicating the combination is set such that even if the duty ratio is falsely recognized, a false recognition concerning the actuator operation direction is prevented, such false recognition causing the valve phase to change in an undesirable direction, and even if the actuator operation direction is falsely recognized, the rate of change in the phase is restricted.
