The present disclosure provides a method for learning emergency injection correction of an injector for preventing misfire. A misfire rate in a multi-stage injection mode is monitored, and it is controlled to be forcibly switched to a single injection mode when the misfire rate by the monitoring is equal to or greater than a specific value, such that injector injection correction learning is performed according to a learning entry condition. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the deviation between cylinders by the sufficient injection amount deviation correction learning, thereby preventing misfire of the injector.

A device is provided for injecting an emulsion of water and fuel into an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle. The device includes a water tank (100) for storing water, a fuel tank (101) for storing fuel, first and second fluid lines (103), an emulsion mixer having a mixing chamber (102), first and second inlets (104), and an outlet (105). The water tank (100) is connected to the first inlet (104) via the first fluid line (103). The fuel tank (101) is connected to the second inlet (104) via the second fluid line (103). The emulsion mixer is configured to output an emulsion that comprises the fuel and the water via the outlet (105). A settable mixer is in the mixing chamber (102) and is configured to set a mixture ratio between the water and the fuel in the emulsion.

A battery pack includes a housing, rechargeable lithium-ion battery cells enclosed in the housing, terminals, a processing circuit, and a communications interface. The processing circuit is configured to control a supply of electrical power from the rechargeable lithium-ion battery cells to a positive terminal and a negative terminal in response to receiving signals from data terminals. The signals from the data terminals include operational information that includes at least a condition of an electric motor on power equipment coupled with the data terminals. The communications interface is configured to communicate over a wireless communication protocol to receive an identification of a type of power equipment coupled with the plurality of terminals. The processing circuit is configured to adjust one or more functions of the battery pack based upon identification data received from the communications interface, which includes the type of power equipment that is coupled with the plurality of terminals.

In some embodiments, a fuel temperature sensor is located proximate to a vehicle component that is expected to experience fuel gelling, such as near or within a fuel filter, in order to obtain temperature information that accurately reflects the likelihood of fuel gelling occurring within the component. The proximate fuel temperature sensor can provide more accurate temperature information for components such as fuel filters that are installed at the periphery of the vehicle, compared to other temperature sensors that measure oil temperatures or other temperatures of centrally located vehicle components. In some embodiments, the vehicle is automatically started when the temperature indicated by the fuel temperature sensor falls below a startup temperature threshold value, and is automatically stopped after a predetermined time period or after the temperature reaches a shutdown temperature threshold value.

A system and a method of controlling the temperature of fuel injected into combustion engines, which provides a reduced amount of fuel injected into engines propelled with either pure gasoline or ethanol or any bi-fuel mixture by precisely controlling the amount of heat supplied to the fuel.

A control device 60 of a vehicle drive device comprises a processing part 81 configured to use a trained model using a neural network to calculate an output parameter of a vehicle, and a control part 82 configured to control the vehicle drive device based on the output parameter. The neural network includes a first input layer to which input parameters of the vehicle other than a design value are input, a second input layer to which the design values are input, a first hidden layer to which outputs of the first input layer are input, a second hidden layer to which outputs of the second input layer are input, and an output layer outputting the output parameter, and is configured so that the second hidden layer becomes closer to the output layer than the first hidden layer.

A fuel control system obtains a measured amount of fuel consumed by an engine and one or more corresponding operating parameters of the engine and determines a fuel consumption modeled amount based at least in part on a fuel consumption model of the engine and the one or more operating parameters. The fuel consumption model associates different amounts of fuel that, when supplied to the engine, generate corresponding designated outputs of the engine. The system also determines one or more differentials between the measured amount of fuel and the modeled amount and, responsive to the one or more of the differentials exceeding a threshold value, the system identifies one or more components of the powered system that contribute or cause the one or more differentials and/or changes an amount of fuel supplied to the engine according to the fuel consumption model to obtain a desired output of the engine.

Present embodiments provide a throttle body which may be used with a variety of engines of different manufacturers. The throttle body may be used to replace mechanical or hydraulically controlled carburetors with electronic fuel injection. The throttle body may provide improved fuel pathways through and about the throttle body in order to move fuel to opposed side. The throttle bodies may have improved configuration of the fuel injectors. Further, the throttle body may have computer mounted on the throttle body and a notch formed in the throttle body to define a wire routing pathway from the computer to the injectors.

Also disclosed is a method for determining the actual ethanol content of a fuel including: a step of collecting data on the instantaneous fuel consumption and on the ethanol content; a step of determining the current cumulative fuel consumption; a step of storing data in two matrices, an ethanol content matrix and a cumulative consumption matrix; a step of determining the value of the actual ethanol content of the fuel to be applied to the injector, the actual content being the value of the ethanol content of the ethanol content matrix having the same abscissa as the lowest cumulative consumption value of the cumulative consumption matrix for which the difference between the current cumulative consumption value and the cumulative consumption value is smaller than the value of a volume V of the duct located between the sensor and the injector.

A method of controlling engine restart may include selecting, by a start controller, a first start situation and a second start situation for restarting an engine; determining a current possible start-up through the first and second start situations; prioritizing possible start-ups; and attempting to restart the engine by setting the first and second start situations as first start control and second start control, respectively, based on the priorities of the start-ups.
