    摘要: A belted-alternator starter system that continuously provides pre-flux when the vehicle ignition is on and the engine is off to provide a faster torque response when the engine is turned on. The alternator/starter device operates as an alternator for providing electrical energy to vehicle electrical devices and the battery when the ignition is on and the engine is running, and operates as a starter for providing engine torque to start the engine when the engine is off and the ignition is on. The system further includes an inverter/rectifier circuit to provide AC current to the armature coils when the alternator/starter device is operating as a starter. The system provides an operating field current to the field coil when the ignition and the engine are on and provides a pre-flux field current to the field coil when the vehicle ignition is on and the engine is off.

A plug and play connector connects to the plug and play controller. A sensor monitors a property of the electric machine. A sensor connector communicates with the sensor and the plug and play controller. The configuration parameters are transmitted to the plug and play controller during a power-up sequence of the electric machine. The plug and play electric machine connects to different plug and play controllers. A power connector is associated with the electric machine and communicates with a power driver included in the plug and play controller. The plug and play connector, sensor connector, and power connector form an integrated connector. The plug and play controller updates the configuration parameters based on feedback from the sensor.

    摘要: An analytical methodology for the specification of progressive optimal compression damping of a damper of a suspension system to negotiate a multiplicity of severe events, yet provides very acceptable ride quality and handling during routine events. The damping response of the damper is optimized based upon a progressive optimal constrained events damping function derived from a low envelope curve incorporated with a predetermined damper force acting on the wheel center below a predetermined wheel center velocity, u1, based on ride and handling considerations for a given vehicle or vehicle model according to the prior art methodology, whereby the low envelope curve is constructed utilizing a one degree of freedom nonlinear mechanical system model or a quarter car nonlinear mechanical system model.
