    • A method and apparatus for real-time data stamping via datalink and volatile ECM timer/clock. An engine control module (ECM) includes a volatile time-keeping mechanism, such as time-keeping software code inserted into the ECM software, which is capable of keeping track of elapsed time as long as the ECM microprocessor is powered. The ECM initially sets the volatile time-keeping mechanism with real time (RT) at ECM power up by retrieving the current RT over an attached datalink from a non-volatile RT clock (i.e. a clock that keeps track of time even during ECM power down). Thereafter, the ECM microprocessor may time stamp stored data using RT from the volatile time-keeping mechanism. The present invention thus precludes the need to provide a dedicated RT clock for the ECM, or the need for the ECM to request RT over the datalink every time the ECM wishes to time stamp data to be stored.
    • 一种用于通过数据链路和易失性ECM定时器/时钟实时数据冲压的方法和装置。 发动机控制模块(ECM)包括诸如插入到ECM软件中的时间保持软件代码的易失时间保持机制,其能够跟踪ECM微处理器供电时的经过时间。 ECM首先通过从非易失性RT时钟(即即使在ECM掉电期间跟踪时间的时钟)检索来自附加数据链路的当前RT,在ECM上电时设置实时(RT)的易失性保持机制 )。 此后,ECM微处理器可以利用来自易失时间保持机制的RT对存储的数据进行时间戳。 因此,本发明不需要为ECM提供专用的RT时钟,或者ECM需要在每次ECM希望对要存储的数据进行时间戳时在数据链路上请求RT。

    • A system for controlling operation of an internal combustion engine includes a control computer responsive to a number of engine/vehicle operating conditions to control engine operation to thereby control engine speed and engine or vehicle acceleration. In one embodiment, the control computer is configured to determine an engine or vehicle acceleration limit value based on current engine or vehicle speed, and an engine speed limit value based on current engine load, and to control engine fueling and/or speed to thereby limit engine speed to the engine speed limit value and/or engine/vehicle acceleration to the engine/vehicle acceleration limit value. In another embodiment, the control computer is configured to determine a pseudo-load value, which is preferably a vehicle mass value and/or road grade value estimated from current vehicle acceleration and engine fueling conditions, determine an engine speed limit value based on the pseudo-load value and current vehicle speed, and control engine speed and/or fueling to thereby limit engine speed to the pseudo-load-based engine speed limit value. In either case, the concepts of the present invention provide for increased fuel economy by limiting engine speed and/or acceleration during shifting, while providing for additional engine speed, and correspondingly higher engine power, when there exists a legitimate need therefore.
