Title: Eric J. Holdorf: Vehicle Braking and Wheel-Slip Innovations

Introduction

Eric J. Holdorf is an inventor based in Warren, Michigan, whose work focuses on vehicle braking systems and wheel-slip assessment. He is associated with GM Global Technology Operations, Inc. His patent portfolio includes 2 patents.

Latest Patents

Holdorf’s listed patents address regenerative braking and the detection of wheel slip.

“Braking Torque Adjustments Based on Wheel Slip” describes adjusting a vehicle’s regenerative braking torque according to whether wheel slip is present. When there is no slip, the system provides braking torque at a first level. When slip occurs, it selects from lower modulated levels based on the slip’s magnitude, location, or both.

“Wheel Slip Determination for Vehicles” describes assessing wheel slippage by measuring an initial vehicle-speed value and determining a minimum or maximum vehicle speed. A processor then uses these values to determine wheel slip.

Career Highlights

Holdorf’s patent work reflects an engineering focus on vehicle dynamics and braking control. The inventions describe ways to adapt regenerative braking to changing wheel conditions and to assess wheel slip using vehicle-speed measurements.

Collaborations

Holdorf’s listed coworkers include Eric Edward Krueger and Mahir Hodzic. His work is associated with GM Global Technology Operations, Inc.

Conclusion

Eric J. Holdorf’s patents address practical vehicle-control challenges by linking regenerative braking adjustments and wheel-slip assessment to vehicle operating conditions.
