Abstract
Abstract A apparatus for controlling the number of the rotation of an internal combustion engine, which is capable of feeding air-suction quantity back to the objective value and provided with memory storing and retaining the feedback value when the feedback operation is stopped. When faster adjustment is needed at the moment of resuming the feedback operation or performance characteristic of the air-suction control system largely varies during service period, the apparatus securely retains the feed-back value and applies it as the initial value to allow the engine to securely reactivate satisfactory startup operation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
An apparatus for controlling the number of the rotation of an internal combustion engine comprising; a rotation-number adjuster which generates an objective air-suction quantity and an objective air-suction tube pressure of the engine in conjunction with the number of the rotation and an objective number of the rotation of the engine; an air-suction adjuster which generates adjustment signals in conjunction with the signal output from said rotation-number adjuster and the air-suction quantity and air-suction tube pressure of the engine; an air-suction control valve which increases and decreases one of said air-suction quantity and air-suction tube pressure of the engine on receipt of a signal outputted from said air-suction adjuster; and means for retaining said air-suction quantity and the number of the rotation of the engine by stopping at least one of those operations executed by said rotation-number adjuster and said air-suction adjuster when the engine is not in idling condition.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
150 words
An apparatus for controlling the number of the rotation of an internal combustion engine comprising; a rotation-number adjuster which generates an objective air-suction quantity and an objective air-suction tube pressure of the engine in conjunction with the number of the rotation and an objective number of the rotation of the engine; an air-suction adjuster which generates adjustment signals in conjunction with the signal output from said rotation-number adjuster and the air-suction quantity and air-suction tube pressure of the engine; an air-suction control valve which increases and decreases one of said air-suction quantity and air-suction tube pressure of the engine on receipt of a signal outputted from said air-suction adjuster; and means for retaining said air-suction quantity and the number of the rotation of the engine by stopping at least one of those operations executed by said rotation-number adjuster and said air-suction adjuster when the engine is not in idling condition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
The apparatus for controlling the number of the rotation of an internal combustion engine as set forth in claim 1, wherein said rotation-number adjuster or air-suction adjuster is provided with constitution which allows retention of adjustable quantity when operation of either of these adjusters are stopped.
