Abstract: A control device is produced for enabling a locked-up state at a low speed range and preventing thereby-caused insufficiency in the lubricating oil supply amount to a transmission. The control device controls the lubricating oil supply amount to a transmission in a construction machine including a torque converter with a lock-up clutch. The control device includes a clutch state determining section, a lubricating oil amount detecting section and a lock-up clutch controlling section. The clutch state determining section determines whether or not the lock-up clutch (7) is being coupled. The lubricating oil amount detecting section detects whether or not the lubricating oil supply amount to the transmission (2) is short of a preliminarily set supply amount. The lock-up clutch controlling section decouples the lock-up clutch (7) when the lock-up clutch (7) is being coupled and the lubricating oil supply amount is short of the preliminarily set supply amount.

Abstract: In an internal-combustion engine provided with a system for variable actuation of the intake valves (6) of the cylinders (I, II, III, IV), some of said cylinders (II, III) are deactivated in given conditions of operation of the engine by interrupting the supply of fuel. During de-activation, the cycle of opening and closing of the intake valves (6) and exhaust valves of the deactivated cylinders is maintained. The intake valves of each deactivated cylinder are opened when the exhaust valves of the same cylinders are also open. The inactive cylinders are used as reciprocating volumetric pumps for recirculation of exhaust gases from the exhaust manifold (E) of the engine up to the intake manifold (I). The recirculated gases (EGR) are cooled in the intake manifold by the air introduced into the latter and can consequently be fed in a larger mass to the active cylinders (I, IV), which enables a better global efficiency of the engine to be obtained.
