US Patent:
7594493, Sep 29, 2009
Filed:
Apr 24, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/739197
Inventors:
Frederic Anton Matekunas - Troy MI, US
Paul Anthony Battiston - Clinton Township MI, US
Patrick G. Szymkowicz - Shelby Township MI, US
Anupam Gangopadhyay - Troy MI, US
Assignee:
GM Global Technology Operations, Inc. - Detroit MI
International Classification:
F02B 3/00
F02M 7/00
G06F 17/00
US Classification:
123299, 123435, 701104
Abstract:
A method for controlling operation of an internal combustion engine operating lean of stoichiometry is described. The engine is a multi-cylinder direct-injection engine operative in repetitive cycles each cycle including intake, compression, expansion, and exhaust strokes. The method includes adapting a plurality of fuel injectors to directly inject a first and a second mass of fuel into the cylinders during each cycle. Pressure sensing devices monitor in-cylinder pressure in the cylinders during ongoing operation. The first mass of fuel is injected into one of the cylinders. A cylinder pressure ratio is determined in the cylinder subsequent to injecting the first mass of fuel based upon the monitored pressure. The first mass of fuel injected is adjusted during a subsequent cycle based upon the cylinder pressure ratio.

Method And Apparatus For Determining Piston Position In An Engine

US Patent:
7669584, Mar 2, 2010
Filed:
Apr 24, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/739190
Inventors:
Frederic Anton Matekunas - Troy MI, US
Paul Anthony Battiston - Clinton Township MI, US
Patrick G. Szymkowicz - Shelby Township MI, US
Anupam Gangopadhyay - Troy MI, US
Assignee:
GM Global Technology Operations, Inc. - Detroit MI
International Classification:
F02M 7/00
US Classification:
123435, 7311416
Abstract:
The invention comprises a method to determine a position of a piston in a cylinder of an engine during ongoing operation, comprising adapting pressure sensing devices to monitor in-cylinder pressure, and, operating the engine. In-cylinder pressure is monitored along with a corresponding engine crank position. The engine is operated in a motoring mode and in a cylinder firing mode, and a plurality of instantaneous in-cylinder pressure states are determined during compression and expansion strokes. Pressure ratios are determined based upon the instantaneous in-cylinder pressure states, which are used to determine an engine crank angle and compression ratio error and, adjust the monitored engine crank position based upon the crank angle error and readjust engine operation according to these sensed errors.

Engine Control Using Cylinder Pressure Differential

View page
US Patent:
7676322, Mar 9, 2010
Filed:
Feb 9, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/367935
Inventors:
Frederic Anton Matekunas - Troy MI, US
Paul Anthony Battiston - Clinton Township MI, US
International Classification:
F02M 7/28
US Classification:
701105, 701108, 123435
Abstract:
A combustion control system for a vehicle comprises a pressure ratio (PR) module, a pressure ratio difference (PRD) module, and a pressure ratio difference rate (PRDR) module. The PR module determines fired PR values and measured motored PR values based on cylinder pressures measured by a cylinder pressure sensor when a cylinder of an engine is fired and motored, respectively. The PRD module determines PRD values for predetermined crankshaft angles, wherein each of the PRD values is determined based on one of the fired PR values and one of the measured motored PR values at one of the predetermined crankshaft angles. The PRDR module determines and outputs a PRDR value based on a rate of change of the PRD values over a range of the predetermined crankshaft angles.

Abstract:
A method for distinguishing between combustion issues and sensor faults within an engine includes monitoring pressure sensor data from a cylinder within the engine, monitoring engine data describing combustion health from a source other than a pressure sensor, analyzing the pressure sensor data to diagnose an anomalous combustion event, comparing the anomalous combustion event to analysis of the engine data, and indicating a pressure sensor fault warning if the comparison diagnoses a pressure sensor fault.
