Abstract: An engine rotational speed determining device is disclosed which includes a signal inputting means and a rotational speed determining means. The signal inputting means inputs a signal that indicates current supplied to an electric motor, which starts an internal combustion engine, during a starting operation of the engine by the motor. The rotational speed determining means determines a rotational speed of the engine in the starting operation based on a change in the current indicated by the signal input by the signal inputting means.

Abstract: A starting motor for an internal combustion engine, where a control circuit monitors or controls the temperature of the starting motor or the carbon brushes, and if necessary, limits or switches off the primary current. The temperature is indirectly determined by means of a comparison, using the voltage ripple in the primary circuit between the battery and the starting motor. Occurring errors can be stored as status messages in an error storage device, and if desired, they can be interrogated and corrected at the next service interval.

Abstract: The method according to the invention is implemented in an alternator-starter (1) comprising phase windings (u,v,w) connected to an inverter (3) linked to an onboard electrical network (2) powered by a battery for operation as a starter. The invention involves controlling the inverter in a chopped full-wave control mode when the rotational speed (Ω) of the alternator-starter is lower than at least a threshold speed and in a full-wave control mode when the rotational speed is higher than the threshold speed. According to a specific embodiment, the switching between the chopped full-wave control mode and the full-wave control mode takes place according to a hysteresis cycle using two predefined threshold speeds.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling engine idle stop in a hybrid vehicle that uses predictive information to schedule engine stops with relatively longer stop duration time to gain more fuel savings and extend life of starter motor. More specifically, predictive information may be used to determine potential vehicle stop events, along with corresponding stop duration times, within a time window. An engine stop scheduler and/or controller may be configured to schedule stops of longer duration for optimal total engine stop time. Similarly, taking into account constraints imposed by the thermal limits of the motor, engine stop may be inhibited for predicted short events to allow engine stop at later longer stop events.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and vehicles are provided pertaining to the determination of a temperature of a vehicle motor having an ignition when the ignition is turned on following a period of time in which the ignition had been turned off. A memory stores a function having a boundary condition that comprises a prior temperature from when the ignition was turned off. A processor is coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to determine an amount of time for which the ignition has been turned on and determine the temperature of the motor using the function if the amount of time for which the ignition has been turned on is less than a predetermined threshold.
