Title: Nidirsh Patel and Hybrid Powertrain Torque Control

Introduction

Nidirsh Patel is an inventor associated with Farmington Hills, Michigan, and FCA US LLC. His patent work addresses torque control in hybrid vehicle powertrains, with a focus on improving response to external torque requests.

Latest Patents

Patel is credited with 1 patent: “Controller-distributed torque control strategy for external torque requestors.” The invention describes a method in which an external torque requestor sends a torque request both to a hybrid control processor and directly to fast-path torque actuators. The processor optimizes requests for slower actuators and sets limits for the fast-path requests. By allowing the direct request to bypass the processor, the strategy reduces communication delay and can improve the powertrain’s torque response.

Career Highlights

Patel’s listed patent connects his work with hybrid vehicle control systems at FCA US LLC. The invention focuses on coordinating fast- and slow-path actuators to respond efficiently to torque demands.

Collaborations

Patel’s listed coworkers include Christoph Tischendorf and Ashay Sharma. Their shared association with the company provides context for the professional environment surrounding his patent work.

Conclusion

Nidirsh Patel’s patent highlights an approach to reducing communication delays in hybrid powertrain control, illustrating how coordinated torque requests can support more responsive vehicle operation.
