A base engine torque generated with an estimated intake air amount is estimated. An engine torque is corrected by correcting an ignition timing based on a difference between a required engine torque and the base engine torque. A torque correction amount is calculated based on a correction amount of the ignition timing. An actual engine torque is estimated based on the calculated torque correction amount and the base engine torque. A permitted component driving torque is a difference between the actual engine torque and the required vehicle driving torque. A component is controlled based on the permitted component driving torque.

Pressureless sintering of silicon carbide with fracture toughness in excess of about 4 MPa-m^1/2 as measured by the single-edge precracked beam (SEPB) technique while maintaining a density greater than 3.1 g/cc for compositions with SiC greater than about 94 wt. % is made possible through the use of metallic Al to promote sintering and grain growth. Boron and carbon may be used as traditional sintering aids, with nitrogen to suppress grain growth, and additions of yttrium and/or lanthanide elements to promote intergranular fracture.

A control valve is provided with a spool and a supply port through which an operating oil is supplied. The spool is provided with an advance check valve and a retard check valve. The advance check valve restricts an operating oil flow flowing from the advance chamber to the supply port and permits an operating oil flow flowing from the supply port to the advance chamber when the advance chamber communicates with the supply port. The retard check valve restricts the operating oil flow flowing from the retard chamber to the supply port and permits the operating oil flow flowing from the supply port to the retard chamber when the retard chamber communicates with the supply port. When a rotational phase of the camshaft is held at a target phase region, the advance chamber and the retard chamber communicate with the supply port respectively.
