Latest Patents

One of Kurotani's latest patents is a method of estimating antiknock properties of multi-fuel injection internal combustion engines. This method involves acquiring a first antiknock property-correlated parameter value while injecting a first fuel with a low octane rating. It estimates the first antiknock property based on this parameter value. Additionally, it acquires a second antiknock property-correlated parameter value while injecting both the first fuel and a second fuel with a higher octane rating. This innovative approach allows for better performance assessment of different fuel types in varying load ranges.

Another significant patent is related to an internal combustion engine fuel supply system. This system includes a first fuel tank, a separator, and circuitry designed to separate fuel into high and low octane components. The circuitry determines whether fuel has been supplied and operates the separator accordingly. This invention aims to optimize fuel supply for improved engine performance.
