摘要:
A method is provided which uses, or which calculates, a temperature gradient of a portion of a vehicle to determine a value equal to, or representative of, a time before a maximum allowable operating temperature is reached by the portion. If the value is less than a certain threshold, the apparatus reduces the operating speed of the portion and, in one embodiment, provides a warning signal to an operator of the vehicle.

The invention relates to an apparatus for warming food. The invention is energy efficient, allowing food to be kept warm for a significant duration while consuming less power than conventional food warmers. This allows the invention to be portable because it is not dependant on 120V AC power. Additionally, the invention provides evenly distributed heat maintaining a high level of appeal for all food in the warmer.

A display system having an information display configured to display at least one digital indicator. The display system may be configured to receive one or more customization settings indicative of a type, quantity, and placement of at least one digital indicator. A controller may transmit the customization settings to the information display so that at least one digital indicator is shown using the customization settings.

The invention relates to a portable package and method for preparing a meal. A warm meal is prepared by taking dehydrated food within a package and combining it with non-boiling water. The mixture is then heated by an electrical, portable power source, such as a battery or vehicle power system. This allows a warm meal to be prepared almost anywhere, even without access to boiling water.

A method for controlling a cooling arrangement for electronic components in a hybrid electric vehicle is disclosed. The method includes arranging an electronics cooling loop aboard a hybrid electric vehicle in which a DC to DC converter, DC to AC inverter, and an electronics radiator are placed in fluid communication, one with the others, for cooling the DC to DC converter and the DC to AC inverter; sensing a temperature condition in the electronics cooling loop; and discontinuing operation of the DC to DC converter when a predetermined upper threshold temperature condition is sensed in the electronics cooling loop. A voltage condition of a 12 volt battery may also be sensed, and operation of the DC to DC converter may be resumed when the voltage condition sensed falls below a predetermined lower voltage limit.

A method and an electrical drive assembly 10 which operates in accordance with the method. Particularly, the drive assembly 10 includes a diagnostic portion 18 which compares a voltage signal which is communicated to an electrical machine 28 and a voltage signal which is selected by use of a desired torque command signal 33 and which provides a diagnostic of the electrical drive assembly 10 based upon the comparison, effective to provide a positive indication to a user of the drive assembly.
