Fuel injection control device and fuel injection control method
A fuel injection control device controls a spark-ignition engine of an intra-cylindrical direct fuel injection type. The engine includes a fuel injection valve configured to directly inject a fuel to an interior of a cylinder, and a spark plug configured to ignite, by a spark, an air-fuel mixture inside the cylinder. When the injected fuel collides with a portion in a predetermined low-temperature state, the fuel is injected while changing a fuel injection condition under predetermined operating conditions so as to restrain a fuel spray from keeping colliding with the same position continuously.

Split cycle engine
A split cycle internal combustion engine comprising a compression cylinder accommodating a compression piston; a combustion cylinder accommodating a combustion piston; a crossover passage between the compression cylinder and the combustion cylinder arranged to provide working fluid to the combustion cylinder; a controller arranged to determine a peak temperature of combustion in the combustion cylinder based on a received indication of a peak temperature of combustion in the combustion cylinder; and a coolant system arranged to regulate a temperature of the working fluid supplied to the combustion cylinder; wherein, in response to determining that the peak temperature of combustion exceeds a selected threshold, the controller is configured to control the coolant system to regulate the temperature of the working fluid supplied to the combustion cylinder so that a peak temperature of combustion in the combustion cylinder is less than the selected threshold.

Internal Combustion Engine with a High-Pressure Fuel Pump
A fuel pump includes: a housing with fuel reservoir; first and second axles; respective pluralities of cams fixedly secured to each axle. The first axle and cams are rotated by gas pedal actuation, and meshed gears cause co-rotation of the second axle and its cams. A plurality of housing conduits each have first conduit portions in fluid communication with the fuel reservoir, which transition into second conduit portions in fluid communication with a fuel injector. Pusher rods slidable in each second conduit portion contact spring-biased balls. The gears, cams, and pusher rods ends are positioned in the fuel reservoir. Spring-biased balls also normally block the first conduits. Rotation of the first axle for increased crankshaft rotation speed causes simultaneous rotation of every cam, and each increment of cam rotation into second, third, fourth, and fifth rotational positions sequentially drives a respective pusher rod to provide incremental increased fuel flow.
