    摘要: A power, ground and communication architecture (100) utilizes hubs (105, 110, 115). Each hub (105, 110, 115) contains computing, communication and power management elements (135, 140). Hubs (105, 110, 115) may be connected to multiple other hubs (105, 110, 115) to distribute communication and power in a freeform web-type arrangement, specific tree, bus or star arrangements are not required. Standardized wiring harness segments (120) are used to join the hubs (105, 110, 115) and control elements. Each of the strands in the web may be an independent point-to-point bus and isolated power line.

    摘要: A non-synchronous camshaft phasing device 46 for use with an internal combustion engine E. The internal combustion engine E includes an engine control unit ECU, a camshaft 42 and a crankshaft 12. The non-synchronous phasing device 46 is located between the crankshaft 12 and the camshaft 42 for controlling a phase shift angle between the camshaft 42 and the crankshaft 12. The phasing device 46 comprises an input shaft 36 coupled to the crankshaft 12 via a non-synchronous belt 40. The phasing device 46 also comprises an output shaft 42 coupled to the camshaft 44; a planetary gear train 48 co-axially aligned around and coupled with the input shaft 36 and the output shaft 42; and an motor 50 coupled to the planetary gear train 48 by a carrier 56. A controller operatively connects to the engine control unit ECU, wherein the controller is configured to receive engine operating signals generated by the engine control unit ECU and to receive signals from position sensors 51 coupled to the input shaft 36 and to the output shaft 42. In response to the signals, the controller generates and sends a torque command signal to the motor 50 to command the motor 50 to control the planetary gear train 48 through the carrier 56 to adjust the phase shift angle between the camshaft and the crankshaft 12.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are a variety of different electrical system topologies intended to mitigate the impact of large intermittent loads on a 12 volt vehicle power distribution system. In some embodiments the intermittent load is disconnected from the remainder of the system and the voltage supplied to this load is allowed to fluctuate. In other embodiments, the voltage to critical loads is regulated independently of the voltage supplied to the remainder of the system. The different topologies described can be grouped into three categories, each corresponding to a different solution technique. One approach is to regulate the voltage to the critical loads. A second approach is to isolate the intermittent load that causes the drop in system voltage. The third approach is to use a different type of alternator that has a faster response than the conventional Lundell wound field machine.

    摘要: A vehicle active network (12) communicatively couples devices (14-20) within a vehicle (10). Device operation is independent of the interface (22-28) of the device (14-20) with the active network (12). Additionally, the architecture of the active network (12) provides one or more levels of communication redundancy. The architecture provides for the total integration of vehicle systems and functions, and permits plug-and-play device integration and upgradeability.
