Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods for improving operation of a hybrid vehicle are presented. In one example, engine operation is adjusted in response to a change in engine operating conditions that result in a fractional amount of cylinder charge comprised of exhaust gas changing by more than a threshold percentage. The approaches describe may improve vehicle drivability and fuel economy.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for operating an engine, comprising: inducting a gas mixture into a cylinder, a fraction of the gas mixture comprised of exhaust gas, at least a portion of the gas mixture participating in combustion in the cylinder; and entering the engine into a fuel cut-out state in response to the fraction of the gas mixture changing by more than a threshold percentage. 2. The method of claim 1 , where the fraction of the gas mixtu…
