To provide a controller and a control method for an internal combustion engine capable of calculating a target value of controlled variable of internal combustion engine which realizes the target torque, while reducing the number of calculations using a torque characteristics function. A controller and a control method for an internal combustion engine calculates ignition sample numbers of ignition corresponding torques corresponding to the respective ignition sample numbers of ignition timings, by using a torque characteristics function relationship in which a relationship between driving condition and output torque is preliminarily set; and calculates an ignition torque approximated curve approximating a relationship between the ignition sample numbers of the ignition timings and the ignition sample numbers of the ignition corresponding torques; and calculates a target ignition timing corresponding to the target torque.

A control system for a hybrid vehicle configured to suppress a temperature rise in a transmission while achieving a required driving force without modifying a cooling system. If a temperature in the transmission is lower than a threshold level during propulsion in a hybrid mode, a controller operates an engine at an optimally fuel efficient point. If the temperature in the transmission system is equal to or higher than the threshold level during propulsion in a hybrid mode, the controller shifts the operating point of the engine to the point at which the heat generation in the transmission system can be suppressed.

An engine throttle device (1) including a throttle valve (5) supported by a throttle shaft (4) inside a throttle bore (2a, 3a) of a valve body (2, 3) and driven to open and close, and a throttle sensor (11) including an excitation conductor provided at one end of the throttle shaft (4) , and a substrate (15) provided with an exciting conductor (13) and a signal detection conductor (14) to face the excitation conductor includes: an excitation conductor unit (12) including an excitation conductor portion (12a) functioning as the excitation conductor, a sensor-side screw portion (12d) provided on a shaft line of the excitation conductor portion (12a), and a sensor-side abutting surface (12e) surrounding the sensor-side screw portion (12d), the excitation conductor unit (12) being integrally formed of a metal material; a shaft-side screw portion (17) formed at one end (4a) of the throttle shaft (4) and screwed to the sensor-side screw portion (12d); and a shaft--side abutting surface (18) formed at the one end (4a) to surround the shaft-side screw portion (17) and abutting the sensor-side abutting surface (12e) when the shaft-side screw portion (17) is screwed to the sensor-side screw portion (12d).

A method for operating a control component of an air mass flow rate controller for a drive machine of a motor vehicle, with which an actuator moves a control element into a target position and the position of the control element is detected by a sensor element in communication with a controller. The method includes: switching, in a rest mode, the actuator to a de-energized state; detecting, by the sensor element, the position of the control element indirectly or directly; and driving, by the controller, the actuator to correct the position of the control element in the event of a detected change of the position of the control element.

A drive circuit (203) of an actuator (2) calculates an actual working angle from an actual operation quantity with reference to a reference table used to calculate a target operation quantity, and transmits the actual working angle and the actual operation quantity to a command unit (4). The command unit (4) determines whether or not the received values of the actual working angle and the operation quantity correspond to the valve working angle and the operation quantity of the reference table stored in the command unit (4), to detect a discrepancy between the operation modes of the actuator (2) and the command unit (4).
