Abstract: A transmission variator includes a first pulley rotatably attached to an intermediate member of a geartrain, and a second pulley rotatably attached to an output member that is rotatably coupled to the driveline. The geartrain includes an input member, a planetary gear set, a first clutch, a second clutch and an intermediate member. The second clutch is a low drag clutch. The input member rotatably couples to the prime mover. A controller includes an instruction set that is executable to activate only the first clutch in response to a request to operate the driveline in a forward direction, and activate only the second clutch in response to a request to operate the driveline in a reverse direction.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a power plant, continuously variable transmission (CVT), drive wheels, sensors, and controller. The CVT achieves a fixed gear/positive engagement and friction drive modes, and includes an input member that receives input torque from the power plant, an output member, and a variator assembly having drive and driven variator pulleys. The pulleys are connected to each other via an endless rotatable drive element, and to a respective one of the input and output members. Pulley actuators change a CVT speed ratio. The controller calculates a relative slip of the pulleys using measured speeds and displacements from the sensors, reduces the relative slip until the relative slip is below a calibrated speed limit or within a calibrated speed range via actuator control signal to the pulley actuators, and commands the fixed gear/positive engagement mode via positive engagement control signals to the CVT until the relative slip reaches zero.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes a cylinder block that defines a cylinder and a cylinder head positioned relative to the cylinder block. A reciprocating piston is arranged inside the cylinder for compressing an air and fuel mixture at a geometric compression ratio of at least 10:1. A crankshaft is arranged in the cylinder block and rotated by the piston. An intake valve is operatively connected to the cylinder head and controls delivery of air to the cylinder for combustion therein. A mechanism provides late intake valve closing via constant peak lift of the intake valve over at least 5 degrees of crankshaft rotation. A multi-stage boosting system, having a turbocharger, a supercharger, and a continuously variable transmission for varying the supercharger's rotating speed, is regulated by a controller to selectively pressurize air being received from the ambient for delivery to the cylinder.

Abstract: A rotor for mounting on a rotational axis in an axial flux electric motor includes a ferromagnetic rotor core. The rotor also includes a plurality of alternating south and north pole permanent magnets (PMs) arranged on the ferromagnetic rotor core symmetrically around the rotational axis and facing the stator. The ferromagnetic rotor core includes a plurality of core saliencies extending to the rotor exterior surface. Each of the core saliencies is arranged between one south pole PM and one north pole PM. The plurality of core saliencies is phase-angle shifted relative to the plurality of alternating south and north pole PMs to thereby alter magnetic reluctance of the electric motor. An axial flux electric motor employing the above-described rotor is also contemplated.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a multi-function, integrated Super Beam assembly structure with integrated structural, cooling, and transverse elastic compliance functions; and Thermal Management Propagation (TMP) protection. The Super Beam assembly includes a pair of parallel face plates, coolant channel cover plates, and coolant channels that are defined by the face plate and the one or more coolant channel cover plates. The structural design of the cooling channels, and the corresponding air gaps formed in-between them, allows a transverse elastic compliance of the Super Beam assembly to be tuned to different amounts of elasticity. Top, bottom and/or end structural channels may be included. A pair of TMP suppression channels may be attached to the Super Beam assembly structure with an adhesive “thermal fuse” that preferentially melts and causes the pair of TMP suppression channels to detach from the Super Beam assembly during overheating in a TMP event.

Abstract: A cooled axial flux electric motor includes a rotationally-fixed stator defining a rotational axis and having a plurality of conductive stator magnetic poles arranged radially about the axis. The motor also includes a rotor spaced axially from one side from the stator and rotatably mounted coaxially with the rotational axis and defined by inside and outside diameters. The rotor has a first exterior surface facing the stator and a second exterior surface arranged opposite the first exterior surface. A ferromagnetic rotor core defines the rotor second exterior surface. The rotor also includes alternating south and north pole permanent magnets (PMs) arranged on the rotor core symmetrically around the axis and facing the stator. The rotor additionally includes channels extending radially outwardly across the rotor and configured to direct a coolant, via centrifugal force, from the inside diameter toward the outside diameter as the rotor rotates about the axis.
