Abstract: Vehicles and related systems and monitoring methods are provided for detecting a loss of isolation on one side of a power converter. One method involves monitoring a normalized voltage input to a power conversion module coupled to the electric motor, in response to the normalized voltage exceeding a diagnostic activation threshold, determining a first number of instances of a range between successive extremas of the normalized voltage exceeding a loss of isolation range threshold over a diagnostic window of time, and automatically initiating a remedial action when the first number is greater than a loss of isolation detection threshold.

Abstract: A method can be used to provide smart notifications to avoid collisions while the vehicle maneuvers in a tight structural environment, such as a home garage or an underground parking lot. The method includes receiving historical vehicle-trajectory data. The historical vehicle-trajectory data includes the location and the heading of the vehicle for each of the plurality of historical trajectories along the structure. The method further includes clustering the plurality of historical trajectories of the vehicle along the structure by types of maneuvers to generate a plurality of trajectory clusters. The method also includes creating a probability distribution bitmap using the plurality of trajectory clusters and creating a topographic map based on the probability distribution bitmap.

Abstract: A system for measuring effects of vibration on rheometric properties of a fluid sample. The system includes a receptacle configured to hold the fluid sample and receive a probe extending from a rheometric measuring device. A vibration generator is configured to vibrate the fluid sample within the receptacle while the rheometric measuring device measures the rheometric properties of the fluid sample. A vibration control module is configured to control frequency at which the vibration generator vibrates.

Abstract: A torque transfer member having a strengthened fluid port and a method of making the same. The torque transfer member includes a body member formed of a steel alloy and is rotatable about a rotational axis. The body member includes an external surface, an interior surface defining a fluid passageway extending through the body, and a fluid port in communication with the fluid passageway. The fluid port includes a port surface connecting the external surface of the body to the interior surface of the fluid passageway. A compressive load above a yield point of the steel alloy is applied to the port surface by using a steel mandrel having a hardness of greater than 60 HRC. The body member is subjected to a heat treated process to form a hardened case after the compressive load is removed from the port surface.

Abstract: A power transfer system for a separately excited machine includes a positive slipring and a negative slipring. One or more positive brushes and one or more negative brushes. A rotor winding attached to rotor laminations and a stator winding attached to stator laminations, such that the stator winding is outside of the rotor winding. The power transfer system may have a hollow shaft. The power transfer system may also have the negative brush and the negative slipring being exterior to the hollow shaft, and one or more position sensors. A shaft ingress separator may be within the hollow shaft and may act as a barrier between wet areas and dry areas. The power transfer system may also include a positive wire and a negative wire, which may be reversed.

Abstract: An electric machine includes a rotor assembly having a rotor shaft disposed along a central axis. The electric machine includes an inductive position sensor having a sensor target that is operatively connected to the rotor shaft. The sensor target is fixed relative to the rotor shaft such that the sensor target rotates with the rotor shaft. The electric machine includes a stationary member and a rotating member operatively connected to the rotor shaft. The rotating member is spaced from the stationary member by an air gap. The stationary member and the rotating member are configured to enable non-contact power transfer from the stationary member to the rotating member through the air gap. The non-contact power transfer may be an inductive power transfer or a capacitive power.
