摘要： A method for controlling the movement of a marine vessel comprises steps that rotate two marine propulsion devices about their respective axes in order to increase the hydrodynamic resistance of the marine propulsion devices as they move through the water with the marine vessel. This increased resistance exerts a braking thrust on the marine vessel. Various techniques and procedures can be used to determine the absolute magnitudes of the angular magnitudes by which the marine propulsion devices are rotated.

摘要： A calibration procedure involves the steps of manually placing a throttle handle in five preselected positions that correspond with mechanical detents of the throttle control mechanism. At each of the five positions, one or more position indicating signals are received by a microprocessor of a controller and stored for future use. The five positions comprise wide open throttle in forward gear, wide open throttle in reverse gear, the shift position between neutral and forward gear, the shift position between neutral and reverse gear, and the mid-point of the neutral gear selection range. The present invention then continuously monitors signals provided by a sensor of the throttle control mechanism and mathematically determines the precise position of the throttle handle as a function of the stored position indicating signals. In one embodiment, each position indicating signal comprises three redundant signal magnitudes.

摘要： A bypass control valve is controlled by an engine control module as a function of manifold absolute pressure and temperature within an air intake manifold in conjunction with the barometric pressure. An air per cylinder (APC) magnitude is calculated dynamically and compared to a desired APC value which is selected as a function of engine operating parameters. The air per cylinder value is calculated as a function of the manifold absolute pressure, the cylinder swept volume, the volumetric efficiency, the ideal gas constant, and the air inlet temperature. The volumetric efficiency is selected from stored data as a function of engine speed and a ratio of manifold absolute pressure to barometric pressure.

摘要： A circuit and method are provided for heating a dual heater oxygen sensor. One resistance element is of relatively low resistance such that the oxygen sensor is heated quickly and the other element is of relatively high resistance such that the oxygen sensor is heated and maintained at an optimal operating temperature. The circuit and associated method turn on a low resistance start heater that is in communication with the oxygen sensor given start-up conditions. Once the oxygen sensor has reached an operating temperature range a high resistance operating temperature heater is turned on and the start heater is turned off.

摘要： A method is provided for controlling tractive force of a ground vehicle. The method is adaptive to vehicles which have both driven axles and non driven axles or, alternatively, vehicles which have only driven axles. Slip is determined either by comparing the angular velocities of the driven and non driven axles or, alternatively, by monitoring the angular velocity of the driven axle as a function of time to determine an instantaneous angular acceleration. The tractive force command is varied as a function of slip of the driven axle and is increased or decreased relative to the tractive force request provided by the operator in order to most efficiently respond to the operator command.

摘要： A docking system is provided which utilizes the marine propulsion unit of a marine vessel, under the control of an engine control unit that receives command signals from a joystick or push button device, to respond to a maneuver command from the marine operator. The docking system does not require additional propulsion devices other than those normally used to operate the marine vessel under normal conditions. The docking or maneuvering system of the present invention uses two marine propulsion units to respond to an operator's command signal and allows the operator to select forward or reverse commands in combination with clockwise or counterclockwise rotational commands either in combination with each other or alone.

摘要： A method for pulse width modulating a resistance element of an oxygen sensor. The method quickly heats the resistance element of the oxygen sensor soon after start of the engine with a relatively high duty cycle yielding wide pulse widths. During a mid oxygen sensor temperature range, the method decreasing the duty cycle and thereby the pulse width modulation. And, upon the oxygen sensor reaching peak operating temperature range, the method decreases the pulse width modulated voltage signal supplied to the oxygen sensor to relatively short duty cycled pulses.
