A multiplex transmission system for a vehicle is constructed such that signals are given and received via a communication line between a plurality of peripheral stations and a central station. The plurality of peripheral stations are arranged at various places such as a door system, an engine system and the like. Each of the peripheral stations is constructed such that an input signal from the plurality of working members (a door lock, a power window and the like) is sent to the central station via the communication line. A control signal from the central station is input via the communication line 5 by the peripheral stations to output to the plurality of working members. Depending on the bit unit form of the control signal working members are actuated. The central station processes data sent by the peripheral stations to generate the control signal.

Multiplex transmission system for vehicle

In a flow rate measuring apparatus having a Karman vortex sensor for generating a signal in response to a flow rate of a fluid, the flow rate of the fluid is calculated in accordance with the period of the signal of the Karman vortex sensor, and is also corrected in accordance with this period.

A fuel injection control device for an internal combustion engine in which a fundamental fuel injection amount is set according to suction air amount per one revolution of the engine Q/N. The fuel injection control device includes a transitional operation start timing detector for detecting an acceleration start timing or a deceleration start timing, an engine rotational number measurer for measuring a predetermined number of rotations of the engine from the acceleration start timing or the deceleration start timing, a throttle valve angle detector for detecting that a throttle valve angle is out of a set range, and apparatus for setting an upper limit value and/or a lower limit value of Q/N when the throttle valve angle detector generates a signal showing that the throttle valve angle is out of the set range until the engine rotational number measurer measures the predetermined number of rotations of the engine.

Fuel injection control device for internal combustion engine

A crank angle sensor generates a reference position signal and a crank angle signal as an internal combustion engine rotates. A counter counts the crank angle signals and, when its count value has reached a first set value, it goes to a second set value. Where the count value of the counter changed from the first to the second set value before the generation of the reference position signal, a control circuit sets the counter to the second set value when the reference position signal is generated. Where the count value of the counter did not change from the first to the second set value before the generation of the reference position signal, the control circuit sets the counter to the second set value when the counter is at the first set value and the reference position signal is produced.

Crank angle detecting apparatus for an internal combustion engine

In a control method and device for a digitally controlled internal combustion engine, engine condition signals are read out from sensors for detecting conditions of the engine, with selected sensor outputs read out in synchronism with rotation of the engine at a predetermined crank angle empirically corresponding to a low engine load and resulting high battery voltage, the predetermined crank angle being within at least 20 crank angle degrees of bottom dead center.

An electronic engine control apparatus and method for computing various engine operating parameters such as fuel injection amount on the basis of input signals from a temperature sensor which detects engine temperature, wherein the signals from the temperature sensor are read more frequently before the complete explosion (i.e., running without a starter motor) of the engine than after attainment of complete explosion (i.e., after a start period) so that degradation of accuracy in the computed fuel injection amount, due to variation of the input signals from the temperature sensor which is caused by the starting motor, is reduced.

Temperature-feedback electronic engine control apparatus and method

There is disclosed an internal combustion engine in which synchronous fuel injection is conducted at every predetermined crank angle and an asynchronous fuel injection is conducted regardless of the crank angle. The engine is provided with an electronical control circuit which computes a quantity of fuel to be injected in each synchronous fuel injection on the basis of a load applied to the engine and an engine speed. A variance of intake pressure in said engine is computed. The computed variance is compared with a reference level which is determined to be greater as the intake pressure becomes higher. In the case of detection of the variance of the intake pressure being greater than said reference level, said quantity of fuel to be injected is increased.

Method of and apparatus for controlling fuel injection

A fuel injection quantity is varied by correcting a correction value so that a mean value of a factor of air-fuel ratio feedback correction obtained from the output of an O.sub.2 sensor takes a value within a predetermined range centered at a value corresponding to a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, and a fuel injection quantity is calculated based on a basic fuel injection quantity, the factor of air-fuel ratio feedback correction and the correction value, thereby to effect control so that the air-fuel ratio converges in proximity of the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio.

Air fuel ratio control method

An engine wherein a basic fuel injection flow rate from an injector is obtained based on an intake manifold pressure and an engine rotational speed. A change with time of the opening degree of a throttle valve and a change with time of the intake manifold pressure are calculated, and the basic fuel injection flow rate is corrected commensurate with the values of the changes described above to cause the basic fuel injection flow rate to be an ideal air-fuel ratio. When the change with time in opening degree of the throttle valve or the change with time of the intake manifold pressure is smaller than the respective predetermined values, the basic fuel injection flow rate is corrected, and, after the correction, if the values of changes thereof become smaller than the respective predetermined values, the basic fuel injection flow rate thus corrected is caused to approach the injection flow rate before the correction.

Internal combustion engine with fuel injection system

Electronic fuel injecting method and device for an internal combustion engine, wherein a basic injection time is obtained in accordance with an intake pressure of the engine and an engine rotational speed. During transitions, the basic injection time is corrected in accordance with the operating conditions of the engine so as to determine a fuel injection time. A throttle valve opening correction is increased or decreased in accordance with a changing speed of the throttle valve opening, and subsequently, is attenuated at a predetermined attenuation rate or restored at a predetermined restoration rate. An intake pressure is increased or decreased in accordance with a changing speed of the intake pressure, and subsequently, is attenuated at a predetermined attenuation rate or restored at a predetermined restoration rate. These corrections are combined to obtain a correction value for acceleration and deceleration, and the correction value is used to modify the basic injection time. The attenuation rate or the restoration rate of the throttle valve opening correction is made higher than the attenuation rate or the restoration rate of the intake pressure correction.

Fuel supply to an internal combustion engine is controlled in accordance with a fuel injection signal which depends on intake manifold pneumatic pressure and on engine running speed. A basic pulse width of the fuel injection signal is calculated by (1) multiplying a one-dimensional function of the detected intake manifold pneumatic pressure by a first weighting factor, (2) multiplying a two-dimensional function of the detected intake manifold pneumatic pressure and of the detected engine running speed, and (3) totalling the multiplied functions.
