Lisa R Lloyd

Meet Lisa R. Lloyd - a prolific inventor hailing from Independence, Kansas. With a total of 14 patents to her name, Lisa has made an indelible mark in the field of mechanical engineering. Her work on a bi-directional multi-speed drive and a multi-mode integrated starter-generator device with unidirectional input has paved the way for significant advancements in the automotive industry.

Lisa's latest patents showcase her innovative approach to designing complex mechanical systems. The bi-directional multi-speed drive she developed for a work vehicle is a prime example of her expertise in creating efficient and effective systems. This drive assembly comprises a reaction member fixed with respect to or a part of a drive housing, a driveshaft, a planetary set, and a clutch assembly. An actuator arrangement is configured to effect movement of the first clutch and the second clutch along the drive axis to selectively engage the planetary set. This innovation makes it possible for work vehicles to operate smoothly in different conditions, making it easier and more efficient for workers to perform tasks.

Lisa's other latest patent is a multi-mode integrated starter-generator device with unidirectional input. This device includes a power transmission assembly with first and second planetary gear set stages and a clutch arrangement to effect a delivery and generation mode. This device can transmit power in the first rotational direction from the electric machine to the engine or in the opposite direction. This technology paves the way for the creation of more reliable and efficient hybrid vehicles.

Lisa is a part of the esteemed Deere & Company, where she works with colleagues like Steven R. Fliearman and Jeffrey S. Turner to develop cutting-edge technology.
