Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power transmission device control system including at least one motor and a servo support type transmission, capable of being connected to a a driving shaft of the motor by at least one servo-controlled first clutch, related to a control module configured such that they automatically perform travel control according to a prescribed state parameter or a signal, indicating a command by a driver. SOLUTION: The system includes a command/management means configured to determine prescribed power applied to drive wheels, to calculate a transmission ratio selected by the transmission, a torque transmitted by the first clutch, and a torque transmitted by the driving shaft; and to send signals respectively indicating the torque transmitted by the driving shaft, the torque transmitted by the first clutch, and the requested transmission ratio to the module.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a valve variable operation system for an internal combustion engine capable of perfectly and quickly achieving filling of a high-pressure side of a system in any operating condition.SOLUTION: This system includes a second check valve hydraulically connected between a first tank and a pressurized fluid chamber. The second check valve allows the only flow of a fluid directing from the first tank to the pressurized fluid chamber, and the second check valve and a solenoid valve are hydraulically connected in parallel with each other and allows supply of the fluid from the first tank to the pressurized fluid chamber. With this structure, in a filling process over the whole of the pressurized fluid chamber and on a high pressure side of the system, the area of the flow passage is increased by using two hydraulic flow passages of two parallel parts, namely the solenoid valve and the check valve, to increase responsiveness.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an internal combustion engine provided with a simplified system for variable actuation of valves. SOLUTION: A multi-cylinder internal combustion engine includes at least two different cylinders C1, C2 having intake strokes different mutually in phase by about one rotation of an engine shaft. A single solenoid valve controls connection to an exhaust channel 23 of two pressurized-fluid chambers C associated with intake valves of the two different cylinders C1, C2.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure a regular and efficient operation of a turbo-charged gasoline engine, more particularly, reduction of fuel consumption amount. SOLUTION: In the turbo-charged gasoline engine, an opening profile of each intake valve defined by opening and closing moments, by the lift or by the opening stroke of the intake valve, is varied according to the engine operating states, to reduce or completely eliminate intervention of an exhaust relief valve and ensure that in each engine operating state each cylinder processes only the quantity of air necessary for optimal combustion, with an air/gasoline dosage value close to the stoichiometric ratio.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a low cost reliable fuel injection system. SOLUTION: The injection system has a high-pressure pump 7 having at least one pumping element 18 operated reciprocatingly to perform an intake stroke and a delivery stroke. Each pumping element 18 has a corresponding intake valve 25 communicating with an intake conduit 10 supplied by a low-pressure pump 9. The intake conduit 10 is fitted with an on-off solenoid valve 27 controlled by a control unit 16 asynchronously with respect to intake of each pumping element 18. And the control unit 16 can control the on-off solenoid valve 27 by means of frequency-modulated and/or duty-cycle-modulated control signals A, C. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
