The present invention is generally directed to a Sleep Manager Module ('SLM'). In one case, the present invention provides a stand-alone Sleep Manager Module. The Sleep Manager Module is capable of optimizing electric vehicle power consumption based on external temperature. It has one or more interfaces that are electrically connected to a microcontroller. The microcontroller is operably connected to memory, and the one or more interfaces is selected from a group of interfaces consisting of a fast charge connector, a level II Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment, and temperature/battery voltage sensors. The microcontroller is connected to a Vehicle Integration Manager through a Wake-Up line and Vehicle Communication Line.

Stand-alone module that optimizes energy consumption while monitoring both temperatures and voltages

The present invention generally relates to automatic transmission controllers and related methods. In one case, the present invention provides a method of calibrating a controller to match an automatic transmission to an electric motor or internal combustion engine. The controller is not integrated into the transmission. The method comprises adjusting parameters of the controller and includes the steps of: a) Defining the Control Architecture; b) using the Defined Control Architecture to Identify Control Loop Input/Output; c) using the Identified Control Input/Output to Define the Control Algorithm Controller; d) using the Control Algorithm Controller definition to either Define the Shift Schedule or Define the Solenoid Handler, either of which can be used in Optimizing Calibration Via Testing.
