Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "System and method for controlling a powertrain system of a vehicle." This invention involves a computer system designed to operate a powertrain system in a freewheeling mode. In this mode, the output shaft of the engine is non-rotating, and the engine is disconnected from one or more drive wheels. The system utilizes processing circuitry to predict the feasibility of restarting the engine along an intended route by employing a controllable clutch. The invention determines the opportunity for freewheeling based on specific restarting conditions.
Another significant patent is "System and method of controlling a vehicle." This invention focuses on controlling an engine restart attempt while the vehicle is in motion. The computer system collects real-time data regarding the rotational speed of the powertrain shaft and the wheels. It then manages the controllable clutch to adjust torque transfer between the engine and the wheels. The system assesses speed decreases and determines whether to abort the engine restart attempt based on predetermined thresholds.
