Abstract: A hydraulic fluid reservoir apparatus for an automotive power steering system comprises a filter chamber, and a filter parallel to a vertical axis and dividing the filter chamber into an upstream region and a downstream region. The reservoir apparatus also includes a stagnant fluid well apart from the filter chamber, and a de-aeration zone overlying the filter chamber. A vent is provided between the upstream region and the de-aeration zone. Fluid recycled to the reservoir apparatus contains entrained gas. The filter separates the gas from the fluid within the upstream region, whereupon the gas is vented to the de-aeration zone and separates from the fluid circulated to the stagnant fluid well.

Abstract: The present invention involves a method of controlling a vehicle steer-by-wire system having two independent road wheels. In one embodiment, the method comprises providing a steering wheel control sub-system to generate road wheel reference angles and to produce steering feel for a vehicle driver. The method further includes providing a road wheel control sub-system with servo control structure having road wheel angles and angular rates feedbacks including a road wheel controlled plant and a road wheel controller for controlling actual road wheel angles to track to road wheel reference angles. Moreover, a robust control is implemented in the road wheel controller to overcome affects of uncertainties and disturbances from the steer-by-wire system, vehicle, and external environment.

Abstract: A stator core assembly having an annular core defining an outside diameter, an inside diameter, and a plurality of radially projecting winding slots. A first electrical conductor and a second continuous electrical conductor are inserted within the winding slots circumferentially around the stator core. The conductors form a plurality of layers, each layer being defined as one substantially complete circumferential pass of the conductors around the stator core. Each of the conductors include a plurality of straight portions that lay within the winding slots, and a plurality of end loop portions that extend circumferentially to connect two of the straight portions. The length of the straight portions and end loop portions vary between the layers based upon the radial location of the particular layer within the stator core and a pre-determined axial height of the end loop portions.

Abstract: An automotive transmission is equipped with a variety of gears that may be combined to yield one or more output speeds as compared to an input speed. One or more electromechanical actuators is used to engage or disengage a particular desired mix of gears. The electromechanical actuator engages one mix of gears or another to set the desired ratio of input speed to output speed. The transmission may be used to provide a straight-through, an underdrive speed range, or an overdrive speed range in an automotive transmission.
