Disclosed is a method for processing position data of an automotive vehicle motor, implemented by a multi-core electronic computer including: a software module for the production of data of angular position of the motor, and at least one software module for driving the motor as a function of the angular position data. The method includes a step of deactivation of each drive module by the module for the production of angular position data, followed by a step of activation of each drive module by the production module. In the course of the deactivation step, the production module dispatches to each drive module a deactivation command, and then a request for confirmation that each drive module is deactivated, and the step of activation of the drive modules is implemented only when the deactivation of all the drive modules has been confirmed to the production module.

An air flow measurement device that measures an air flow rate based on an output value of a sensing unit attached in an environment in which air flows, the air flow measurement device is provided. The air flow measurement device may calculate an average air amount, which is an average value of the air flow rate, from the output value. The air flow measurement device may calculate a pulsation maximum value, which is a maximum value of the air flow rate, from the output value.

There is provided a system for monitoring an engine. The system includes a processor. A memory including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform certain operations. The operations may include receiving a first data set and a second data set. The first data set being sampled at a first rate and the second data set being sampled at a second rate, where the first and second rate are different. The operations further include determining, based on a number of occurrences in either the first data set or the second set, whether an event that has occurred in the engine has occurred a predetermined number of times. The operations further include recording the first data set as an output in response to the number of occurrences exceeding the predetermined number of times, and in the contrary recording the second data set as the output. The operations may include computing a ratio of a fast recording process to a slow recording process and adjusting an output file size according the ratio. Another feature may be a look back subsystem that backfills an interval of pre-event fast recordings when an event is detected. The system can self-adjust thresholds to maintain file size constraints during unusually active or eventful flights.

A fuel injection control device for an engine includes an ECU. The ECU is configured to: change a port injection ratio in accordance with an operation state of the engine; execute correction of the total fuel injection amount by reflecting a correction amount in a basic fuel injection amount depending on the operation state when the port injection ratio is changed; and when the ECU changes the port injection ratio and calculates a second correction amount that is the correction amount having one of the positive and negative values during the execution of the correction based on a first correction amount that is the correction amount having the other one of the positive and negative values, limit reflection of the first correction amount in the basic injection amount.

The present invention discloses a method of operating an internal combustion engine comprising a controllable injector for injecting fuel into a combustion chamber, the injector communicating with a fuel accumulator through which it is supplied with fuel, the method comprising the following steps: determining a first pressure value of the pressure in the fuel accumulator on the basis of a first pressure measurement, determining a second pressure value of the pressure in the fuel accumulator on the basis of a second pressure measurement carried out after the first pressure measurement, and determining an injector opening duration depending on the first and the second pressure value.

This vehicle control method comprises: a basic torque setting step of setting, based on a driving state of the vehicle, a basic torque to be generated by the prime mover; an incremental torque setting step of setting an incremental torque such that the basic torque is increased in accordance with an increase in steering angle of a steering device (26) equipped in the vehicle; and a torque generation step of controlling the prime mover to generate a torque which is determined by increasing the basic torque based on the incremental torque.

An engine system for a working machine includes an engine disposed in a main body of the working machine, an exhaust manifold coupled to the engine, a tail pipe, an exhaust-gas purification device disposed in the main body and including an exhaust-gas inlet-side housing. The exhaust-gas inlet-side housing includes an exhaust-gas inlet coupled to the exhaust manifold, and an exhaust-gas outlet-side housing including an exhaust-gas outlet coupled to the tail pipe. The exhaust-gas purification device is configured to purify exhaust gas discharged from the engine and to cause the purified exhaust gas to be discharged from the tail pipe to an outside of the engine system. The engine system is configured such that a silencer housing is disposable in the exhaust-gas inlet-side housing, the exhaust-gas outlet-side housing, or both, to attenuate exhaust sound of the engine.

A fuel injection control device includes processing circuitry, which executes an estimating process to estimate pressure in first and second fuel storage members connected to first and second fuel injection valves. The estimating process includes: estimating the pressure in the first fuel storage member based on a detection value of a pressure sensor that detects the pressure in the first fuel storage member and a cycle of pulsation in the first fuel storage member, which is determined in accordance with an interval of fuel injections in a first bank; and estimating the pressure in the second fuel storage member by assuming that a phase of a periodic fluctuation of the pressure in the second fuel storage member and a phase of a periodic fluctuation of the pressure in the first fuel storage member are in antiphase.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium stores a data-acquisition-instruction generating program that causes a computer to execute a process including: first generating a plurality of change curves of each of control parameters based on requisite density information, the requisite density information being related to a data measurement density in a data measurement region specified by a combination of a plurality of control parameters, the plurality of control parameters being used by a device subject to the data measurement; and second generating a data acquisition instruction to perform measurement at a plurality of measurement points with respect to the device to be measured in an order in which change of each control parameter becomes change corresponding to the change curves, and new measurement is performed such that only one of the control parameters changes from previous measurement.
