Method and system for reducing or eliminating noise generated by the disc brakes of a motor-vehicle
A vehicle braking system includes a controller that receives signals from sensors associated with vehicle disc brakes, which allow detection of a parameter indicative of a degree of noise generated from each disc brake. When noise generation is detected, the controller activates a noise attenuation function of a first type if the vehicle is braking, and of a second type if the vehicle is not braking. The first type involves reducing actuating pressure of a fluid actuator associated with the disc brake for which noise generation is detected. The second type involves temporarily activating, while the vehicle is running and not braking, the fluid actuator associated with the disc brake which is generating noise. The controller also receives signals indicative of vehicle operating parameters which allow conditions to be defined in which priority is given to vehicle safety, and in which the noise attenuation function is excluded.

Method, system and computer-program product for controlling the particulate combustion during the regeneration of a particulate filter of a diesel engine
A diesel engine system includes a diesel engine, an exhaust line, a particulate filter interposed in the exhaust line and an electronic control unit for controlling fuel injectors associated with cylinders of the engine. When an accumulated particulate mass in said filter reaches a predetermined threshold, a filter regeneration mode is activated, including activating post-injections of fuel by controlling said injectors, to determine a start of an automatic filter regeneration step, which is caused by an increase in temperature of exhaust gases fed to the filter. The temperature increase is sufficient to burn particulate in the filter. The post-injections of fuel are deactivated whenever a critical condition occurs for at least a first period of time, the critical condition being one in which a temperature value upstream of the filter exceeds a first threshold value. In this case, the regeneration mode is resumed following disappearance of the critical condition.

Method, system and computer product for evaluating the quantity of particulate accumulated within a particulate filter of a Diesel engine
Particulate accumulation in a particulate filter in the exhaust line of an engine is calculated by an electronic engine control unit. When the estimated accumulated particulate mass exceeds a predetermined threshold, an automatic regeneration step of the filter is activated. An actual instantaneous burned particulate mass is calculated as a function of values indicative of the state of the filter. A temporary correction factor representing an error between a theoretical value and the actual value is calculated. The temporary correction factor is stored in a second map of correction factors, based on the engine operating conditions. During an accumulation step, the estimated instantaneous particulate mass, calculated according to the first map based on the operating conditions of the engine, is multiplied by a correction factor calculated according to the second map based on the operating conditions of the engine.

A brake disc for motor-vehicle disc brakes, includes a body with a hub and two opposite annular planar faces, wherein at least one of these faces is formed with one or more lines defining a surface irregularity, in the form of grooves or ribs, which extend between a radially inner edge and a radially outer edge of the respective face, so as to substantially cover the entire radial extension of the face. A height of the surface irregularity along said lines is less than 0.30 mm, so that during use, the lines defining the surface irregularity disappear, due to wear of the respective face, after an initial fraction of the life of the brake disc. During this initial stage, the lines defining the surface irregularity reduce the time necessary to obtain a bedding of the disc brake with respect to a case of a brake disc devoid of the lines.

In a suspension for a steerable wheel of a vehicle with a semi-virtual steering axis, a wheel support is connected to vehicle structure by an upper arm and two lower rods, one supporting lateral loads, whereas the other supporting longitudinal loads and being located forwardly relative to the rod supporting lateral loads. In a non-steered wheel condition, an articulated joint connecting the lower rod supporting the longitudinal loads is located more outwardly. The arrangement is such that during steering with a wheel being on an outer side of the curve, an intersection point of projections on a horizontal plane of the lower rods is displaced more inwardly. In a steered wheel condition, with said wheel being on an inner side of the curve, projections on the horizontal plane of said lower rods meet at a point displaced longitudinally forwardly relative to the intersection point in the non-steered wheel condition.
