Hybrid Vehicle With Cylinder Deactivation

View page
US Patent:
8464690, Jun 18, 2013
Filed:
Nov 8, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/672466
Inventors:
Ronald D. Yuille - Sarasota FL, US
Mark A. Shost - Northville MI, US
Louis J. Serrano - Los Gatos CA, US
Adya S. Tripathi - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Tula Technology, Inc. - San Jose CA
International Classification:
B60W 20/00
F02D 41/00
G06F 19/00
US Classification:
123350, 701 22, 180 65265
Abstract:
A variety of methods and arrangements for operating an internal combustion engine and one or more motor/generators in a hybrid vehicle are described. In various embodiments, the engine is operated in a skip fire mode. Depending on the state of charge of an energy storage device and/or other factors, the engine is operated to generate more or less than a desired level of torque. The one or more motor/generators are used to add or subtract torque so that the motor/generator(s) and the engine collectively deliver the desired level of torque. In some embodiments, the engine may be run with a substantially open throttle to reduce pumping losses and improve fuel efficiency.

Hybrid Powertrain Control

US Patent:
20130096759, Apr 18, 2013
Filed:
Nov 19, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/681378
Inventors:
TULA TECHNOLOGY INC. - Santa Clara CA, US
Ronald D. YUILLE - Sarasota FL, US
Mark A. SHOST - Northville MI, US
Louis J. SERRANO - Los Gatos CA, US
Assignee:
TULA TECHNOLOGY INC. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
B60W 20/00
B60W 10/08
B60K 6/485
B60W 10/06
US Classification:
701 22, 180 65265, 180 6526, 903930
Abstract:
Methods and arrangements for controlling hybrid powertrains are described. In one aspect, an engine is alternatingly operated at different effective displacements. One displacement delivers less than a requested powertrain output and the other delivers more. A motor/generator system is used to add and subtract torque to/from the powertrain to cause the net delivery of the requested powertrain output. In some embodiments, energy added and subtracted from the powertrain is primarily drawn from and stored in a capacitor (e.g., a supercapacitor or an ultracapacitor) when alternating between effective displacements. In another aspect a hybrid powertrain arrangement includes an engine a motor/generator and an energy storage system that includes both a battery and a capacitor. The capacitor stores and delivers electrical energy to the motor/generator unit during operation of the engine in a variable displacement or skip fire mode.

Engine Braking Controller

View page
US Patent:
20140034010, Feb 6, 2014
Filed:
Jul 29, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/953615
Inventors:
Steven E. CARLSON - Oakland CA, US
Joshua P. SWITKES - Menlo Park CA, US
Ronald D. YUILLE - Sarasota FL, US
Assignee:
Tula Technology, Inc. - San Jose CA
International Classification:
F02D 17/02
US Classification:
123324
Abstract:
In one aspect of the invention, an engine is operated in a skip cylinder engine braking mode. In the skip cylinder engine braking mode, selected working cycles of selected working chambers are deactivated. Other selected working cycles of the selected working chambers are operated in a braking mode. Accordingly, individual working chambers are sometimes deactivated and sometimes operated in the braking mode while the engine is operating in the skip cylinder engine braking mode. Various methods for cylinder control are described, which improve fuel economy, catalytic converter performance, and vehicle NVH characteristics.

Electronic Control For A Motor Vehicle Variable Geometry Turbocharger

View page
US Patent:
46710680, Jun 9, 1987
Filed:
Feb 10, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/827513
Inventors:
Joseph F. Moody - Grand Blanc MI
Ronald D. Yuille - Burton MI
Assignee:
General Motors Corporation - Detroit MI
International Classification:
F02B 3700
US Classification:
60602
Abstract:
An electronic control for a variable displacement turbocharger (VGT) determines the desired operation of the VGT in accordance with vehicle and engine operating conditions, and positions the VGT control arm to achieve the desired operation. When the engine is operating in a vacuum mode, the control arm is adjusted in open loop fashion; when the engine should be operating in a boost mode, the control arm is adjusted in a closed loop fashion according to the difference between the actual and desired boost.
