A latching valve assembly which controls the flow of air and purge vapor between a fuel module and a carbon canister, where a change in an electrical property of the latching valve assembly is used to detect whether the latching valve is in the open position or the closed position. The latching valve assembly of the present invention eliminates the need for a physical switch solution, mechanical or non contact solutions, eliminates complexity of valve hardware requirements, and only adds minor electric components and software to identify the latch position. This system eliminates valve complexity and mechanical connections required for electrical conductivity.

A bistable electric valve for a system that recovers petrol vapors in a motor vehicle. The electric valve includes a hollow housing (2) in which there is defined a chamber (5) with respective first and second openings (4a, 3a) between which a valve seat (6) is defined; an obturator (7) movable inside said chamber (5) and adapted to cooperate with the valve seat (6) for controlling a fluid flow between the openings (4a, 3a); a ferromagnetic core (17) mounted movably inside the housing (2) and connected to the obturator (7); first and second permanent magnets (11, 12) mounted in the housing (2) and adapted to keep the ferromagnetic core (17) in first and second working positions, respectively, in which the associated obturator (7) closes and opens the valve seat (6), respectively; and a control solenoid (9) adapted to generate a magnetic flux for attracting the core (17) towards either one of the said first and second working positions. The obturator (7) is displaceable with respect to the core (17), from and towards the valve seat (6), and the obturator (7) has an associated spring (30) tending to urge it towards the seat (6).

A controller for an internal combustion engine includes processing circuitry that performs a dither control process on condition that a temperature increase request of a catalyst is made. The processing circuitry operates fuel injection valves so that during the dither control process, one or more cylinders are lean combustion cylinders in a first period and another one or more cylinders are rich combustion cylinders and so that the average value of an exhaust gas-fuel ratio is a target air-fuel ratio in a second period including the first period. The dither control process is restricted in a manner that, on condition that the rich process is performed, the degree of richening of the richest exhaust gas-fuel ratio of exhaust gas-fuel ratios in the cylinders is reduced.

A vapor impermeable solenoid includes an outer housing fabricated from a vapor impermeable material configured to prevent fuel vapor molecules from passing therethrough; windings configured to generate a magnetic flux when energized, a flux collector configured to direct the magnetic flux, a pole piece, and a magnetic armature disposed within the housing and coupled to a seal configured to selectively seal a passage that allows fuel vapor to pass to a purge canister. The magnetic armature is configured to move from a first position to a second position when an electric current is applied to the windings.

A fuel shutoff valve is attached to the upper portion of a fuel tank and shuts off the communication between the inside of the fuel tank and a canister by opening and closing a vapor passage for communicating between the fuel tank and the canister. The fuel shutoff valve is configured with a first valve mechanism having a coil disposed on the inner periphery of a cylindrical valve chamber and a movable core, which enables to communicate between the fuel tank and the canister by lowering the level of the movable core, and a second valve mechanism which enables to communicate between the fuel tank and the outside thereof by shifting the level of the valve body which is disposed inside the movable core due to the pressure from the inside of the fuel tank or the outside thereof.
