Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
131 words
In a control system for a plant, including
detection means for detecting an output from said
plant, an adaptive controller for controlling a
manipulated variable applied to control of said plant
in a manner such that an output from said detection
means becomes equal to a desired value, and adaptive
parameter vector-adjusting means for adjusting an
adaptive parameter vector used by said adaptive
controller, the improvement wherein: said adaptive parameter vector-adjusting means is
constructed such that an updating component for
updating said adaptive parameter vector is added to an
initial value of said adaptive parameter vector, said
adaptive parameter vector-adjusting means updating
said adaptive parameter vector by multiplying at least
part of preceding values of said updating component by
a predetermined coefficient which is larger than 0 but
smaller than 1.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
29 words
A control system as claimed in claim 1,
wherein said adaptive parameter vector-adjusting means
does not multiply said initial value of said adaptive
parameter vector by said predetermined value.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
A control system as claimed in claim 1,
wherein said adaptive parameter vector-adjusting means
multiplies said initial value of said adaptive
parameter vector by said predetermined value.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
44 words
A control system as claimed in any of claims
1 to 3, wherein said adaptive parameter vector-adjusting
means does not multiply an element of said
adaptive parameter vector which is applied as a
divisor term for determining said manipulated
variable, by said predetermined coefficient.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
A control system as claimed in claim 4,
wherein said adaptive parameter vector-adjusting means
sets said element of said adaptive parameter vector to
1.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
36 words
A control system as claimed in any of claims
1 to 3, wherein said adaptive parameter vector-adjusting
means sets elements of said predetermined
coefficient to respective predetermined values larger
than 0 but smaller than 1, respectively.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
36 words
A control system as claimed in any of claims
1 to 3, wherein said adaptive parameter vector-adjusting
means sets elements of said predetermined
coefficient to an identical predetermined value larger
than 0 but smaller than 1.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
74 words
A control system according to any of claims 1
to 3, wherein said plant is an internal combustion
engine having an exhaust system, said detection means
being air-fuel ratio-detecting means arranged in said
exhaust system, for detecting an air-fuel ratio of an
air-fuel mixture supplied to said engine, said desired
value being a desired air-fuel ratio of said air-fuel
mixture, said manipulated variable being an amount of
fuel to be supplied to said engine.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
34 words
A control system according to claim 8,
wherein said manipulated variable is calculated as a
correction coefficient for correcting a basic fuel
amount corresponding to an amount of intake air
supplied to said engine.
