61 A VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM PCT/EP2011/051000 2011-01-25 WO2011092166A3 2011-08-04 O'DWYER, Denis; GALLAGHER, Eric; GALLAGHER, Bernie

The present invention provides a vehicle control system, for example for use with an emergency services vehicle such as an ambulance, fire engine, police car or the like, and which provides enhanced security, functionality and improved fuel consumption for such vehicles when at the scene of a situation such as a fire, accident, or the like, the system being operable to permit an engine of the vehicle to remaining running while simultaneously immobilising the vehicle. Furthermore when configurable parameters such as but not limited to battery levels and or internal vehicle temperatures are reached, such a control system, without any human interface, automatically shuts down the engine to reduce fuel burn, reduce emissions, reduce engine wear and maintenance and thereby promote a greener environment.

62 METHOD FOR PLACING A CYLINDER OF A MULTI-CYLINDER INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE BACK INTO OPERATION PCT/DE2000/000029 2000-01-04 WO00040847A1 2000-07-13
An internal combustion engine comprises a plurality of cylinders to which electromechanically actuated gas exchange valves are assigned. After the actuation of at least one gas exchange valve (2, 3) of a cylinder (1) has been interrupted, said gas exchange valve is operated at first with a decreased load and with adapted control parameters after the same resumes actuation. A reliable functioning of the electromechanically actuated gas exchange valves (2, 3) is guaranteed in this manner after the actuation of at least one gas exchange valve (2, 3) has been interrupted.
63 METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE PROCESS OF COMBUSTION IN AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE, AND ENGINE WITH MEANS FOR CONTROLLING THE ENGINE VALVES PCT/SE1999/001928 1999-10-26 WO00028197A1 2000-05-18
Four-stroke internal combustion engine with electrically operated inlet and exhaust valves (9, 11) and means for supplying a homogeneous fuel/air mixture to the engine cylinders (1). The valves are controlled by a control unit (15), which, within a lower rpm range, closes the exhaust valve (11) before the piston (4) has reached its upper dead center point. Under the effect of trapped residual gas, a temperature increase is achieved, which results in compression ignition of the fuel/air mixture. The control unit (15) controls the exhaust valve (11), so that the amount of residual gases in the cylinders at the closing of the exhaust valves is greater at low loads and high rpm than at high loads and low rpm, in order to control the ignition delay in this manner.

The system is intended for a motor-vehicle having an engine to which a magneto-flywheel generator (3) is coupled and which is adapted to be rotated by means of a pedal crank (2). The system (1) comprises:

  • a voltage supply terminal (6) connected to the output of the generator (3, 4) and to a storage battery (5),
  • a dc/dc voltage converter (9) having a supply input (9a) connected to the terminal (6), and an enabling input (9b),
  • a capacitive-discharge ignition circuit (11, 12) the input of which is connected to the output of the voltage converter (9) and the output of which is coupled to a spark plug (SP),
  • a rotation sensor (14) associated with the generator (3),
  • an ignition switch (15) connected to the terminal (6),
  • a regulated direct-current voltage supply circuit (7) the input of which is connected to the supply terminal (6), and
  • an electronic processing and control unit (ECU).

The voltage supply circuit (7) and the voltage converter (9) are connected to the supply terminal (6) by means of diodes (8, 10) and respective capacitors (C1, C2) in a manner such that, when the engine is started by means of the pedal crank (2), the energy supplied by the generator (3) is sufficient to enable the voltage supply circuit (7) to supply the regulated voltage for a predetermined minimum period of time and to enable the voltage converter (9) to store sufficient energy for the striking of at least one ignition spark in the engine.

The processing and control unit (ECU) is arranged to implement an emergency engine ignition and starting procedure in which it enables the voltage converter (9) to operate in order to charge the ignition capacitor (12) and subsequently to strike a spark to start the engine.

77 Starter interlock for electronically controlled vehicle EP92306073.5 1992-07-01 EP0526985B1 1996-10-16 Steeby, John Allen; LaPointe, Steven Henry
78 Starter interlock for electronically controlled vehicle EP92306073.5 1992-07-01 EP0526985A2 1993-02-10 Steeby, John Allen; LaPointe, Steven Henry

In a vehicle in which the engine is started from a battery and in which a safety interlock prevents starting if the transmission is not in neutral, the safety interlock is of a type that latches into a condition that enables cranking to continue even when the battery voltage becomes so low that some of the control circuits would not work properly. The interlock is latched when a start command occurs if the transmission is in neutral and the clutch is disengaged. The interlock remains latched until the starting signal ceases. Limited automatic control of the engine's throttle can also be provided during cranking. If desired, the safe status of the transmission and clutch can continue to be monitored during the cranking and the interlock can be unlatched if the transmission or clutch becomes engaged.
