A valve device that includes a valve body; a valve shaft configured to rotate the valve body; a coil spring being electrically conductive and configured to be twisted with rotation of the valve body and the valve shaft; a first conductive member being electrically conductive and facing an inner circumferential surface or an outer circumferential surface of the coil spring in a radial direction of the coil spring; and a first detector configured to detect at least one of a rotation angle of the valve body or a rotation angle of the valve shaft based on an electrostatic capacitance between the coil spring and the first conductive member, the electrostatic capacitance changing according to a state of the coil spring that changes with the rotation of the valve body and the valve shaft.

A system includes an electronic fuel injection system of an engine, the electronic fuel injection system including an electronic governor control unit for controlling various functions of the engine.

A dual compressor turbocharger includes two compressors. One compressor supplies fuel pressure, and one compressor supplies air pressure. The dual compressor turbocharger includes a turbine driven by exhaust of an engine and a shaft coupled to the turbine. The first compressor is mounted on the shaft and includes a first inlet coupled to an air supply and a first outlet coupled to an air intake of the engine. The second compressor is mounted on the shaft and includes a second inlet coupled to a fuel supply and a second outlet coupled to a fuel supply rail of the engine.

A rotation angle detection device that detects a rotation angle of a valve body. The rotation angle detection device includes a shaft, a gear, a magnetic field generator, and a magnetic detection element. The shaft is connected to the valve body. The magnetic field generator is arranged on a gear side and generates a magnetic field. The magnetic detection element is arranged on an extension of the shaft and detects magnetic flux density of the magnetic field that rotates together with the gear.

Provided is an electronically controlled throttle device for an engine driving to open and close a throttle valve (8) of a valve body (3) to which rotation of a motor (15) is transmitted from a driven gear (14) via a throttle shaft (6), and disposing a substrate (22) on which an excitation conductor (23) and a signal detection conductor (24) are arranged to face an exciting conductor (21) rotating together with the throttle shaft (6). The driven gear (14) comprises an embedded core metal (25), and has one side surface to which an exciting conductor (21) is exposed, the core metal (25) and the exciting conductor (21) being insert-Molded of a synthetic resin material and prepared, and a caulked portion (6a) of the throttle shaft (6) is inserted and fixed into a shaft hole (25a) extending through the core metal (25).

Provided is a throttle device including a total of two throttle units in two cylinders in an engine, each of the throttle units having a throttle shaft, throttle valves, and a motor driving and rotating the throttle shaft, in which a return spring provided in a first throttle unit and a return spring provided in a second throttle unit out of the two throttle units are components of the same type and have mutually different installation forms in the throttle units such that biasing torques at the same degree of opening of the throttle valves differ from each other, thereby enabling performances of responding to a change in rotation speed to be different from each other.

Provided is a throttle device including a total of two throttle units in an engine for each two cylinders, each of the throttle units having a unit body having intake air passages corresponding to the four cylinders of the engine, a throttle shaft rotatably supported by the unit body, throttle valves secured to the throttle shaft to open and close the intake air passages for the cylinders, and a motor driving and rotating the throttle shaft, in which a first motor provided in a first throttle unit and a second motor provided in a second throttle unit out of the two throttle units have mutually different responsivities to a change in rotation speed.

A system and method of controlling a turbocharged engine system includes receiving a boost mode selection signal and controlling the turbocharged engine system in response to the boost mode selection signal.

The speed of a turbocharger may be estimated using data from sensors that are readily available in most engine management systems. In some cases, a pressure measurement from a MAP sensor may be used, in combination with one or more computational models, to provide an efficient, lower cost estimate of turbo speed that can be used to control operation of the engine and/or the turbocharger.

A throttle apparatus includes a throttle body (12), a throttle valve (13), a throttle shaft (14), an electrically driven motor (15), a drive gear (23), a driven gear (24), a middle gear (25), and a sensor block (19). The middle gear (25) is held by the throttle body (12) such that a gear shaft is displaced from an imaginary straight line (V) connecting together a motor shaft and the throttle shaft (14). A gear arrangement projection part (34) that projects outward by a displacement amount of the middle gear (25) and a connector arrangement projection part (35) that projects to a same side as the gear arrangement projection part (34) at a position adjacent to a motor housing part (12b) side of the gear arrangement projection part (34) are formed on an outer surface of the throttle body (12). The motor connector (36) is arranged on the connector arrangement projection part (35) such that the motor connector (36) is in parallel with an axis center of the motor shaft and faces another end side of the throttle body (12). The sensor connector (20) is arranged on the sensor block (19) such that the sensor connector (20) is directed toward the axis center from a direction that is orthogonal to the axis center of the motor shaft.
