Title: Innovations of Charles H Loucks
Introduction
Charles H Loucks is an accomplished inventor based in Santa Clara, CA. He has made significant contributions to the field of engine control systems, particularly in the area of skip fire engine operation. With a total of 2 patents, Loucks has developed innovative solutions that enhance engine performance and reliability.
Latest Patents
One of Loucks' latest patents is an "Averaging filter for skip fire engine operation." This invention describes various methods, devices, and filters that are suitable for averaging measured power train operating parameters over a period that varies based on an engine cylinder firing characteristic. The averaged measured operating parameter can be utilized in different engine control-related functions, calculations, and operations. The techniques and devices he developed are particularly well-suited for use during skip fire operation of an engine.
Another notable patent is the "Misfire detection system." This invention outlines various methods and arrangements for detecting misfire in a skip fire engine control system. It involves assigning a window to a target firing opportunity for a target working chamber and measuring a change in an engine parameter during that window. Based on the skip/fire determination, the system can identify whether the target working chamber has misfired. If persistently misfiring, the firing sequence can be modified to deactivate the target working chamber.
