Title: Ayman Zohbi and a Speed Control System for Self-Propelled Machines

Introduction

Ayman Zohbi is an inventor associated with High Point, North Carolina, and Honda Motor Co., Ltd. His patent work addresses speed control for electric-drive self-propelled machines, combining operator-selected speed limits with a requested travel speed.

Latest Patents

Zohbi is credited with 1 patent: “Speed Control System, Self-Propelled Machine Including Same, and Method for Controlling Travel Speed of Self-Propelled Machine.” The invention describes a system that can include a switch assembly, speed lever, potentiometer, actuator lever, cable, and controller. The switch assembly selects a requested maximum travel speed from predetermined options, while the speed lever allows the operator to request a travel speed, including zero. The potentiometer sends a signal representing that requested speed, and the controller uses both the requested-speed and maximum-speed signals to determine the motor-speed signal for the electric drive motor.

Career Highlights

The patent reflects work on coordinating operator input and speed limits in a self-propelled machine. By using a controller to combine the selected maximum speed with the requested travel speed, the system is designed to regulate the electric motor’s output accordingly.

Collaborations

The supplied information identifies Surender Kumar as Zohbi’s coworker. It does not specify Kumar’s role in the patent or establish that he was a co-inventor.

Conclusion

Ayman Zohbi’s patent focuses on a practical control system that translates operator speed requests and selected limits into electric-motor output for a self-propelled machine.
