    摘要: A method is provided herein for determining a remaining useful life of an air filter. The method includes, but is not limited to, measuring a first airflow rate and a first air pressure (P1) in an air cleaner assembly downstream of the air filter, wherein P1 corresponds to the first airflow rate. The method further includes measuring a second airflow rate and a second air pressure (P2) in the air cleaner assembly downstream of the air filter, wherein P2 corresponds to the second airflow rate. The method further includes obtaining pressure differentials A1, A2, B1, and B2 from a data storage device. The method also includes calculating with a processor a result indicative of a useful life remaining for the air filter by taking into account P1, P2, A1, A2, B1, and B2. The method also includes reporting the result to a user.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for providing enhanced vacuum to a brake booster of a braking system under certain operational conditions. Vacuum is stored in a reservoir and is controllably released to the brake booster to provide a brake booster vacuum level of at least a predetermined vacuum level threshold in order to avoid brake pedal performance issues being perceived by the driver of motor vehicles utilizing engines utilizing a supplemental brake assist system under conditions where the brake booster vacuum level is less than the predetermined vacuum level threshold.

    摘要: An air induction system wherein the outlet air assembly includes a sleeve-lined convolute duct. A sleeve liner is disposed within a convolute duct which spans the convolutes, wherein an attached end of the sleeve liner is attached to a non-convolute portion of the convolute duct, wherein a free end is freely slidable in the convolute duct, and wherein the free end of the sleeve liner and the attached end of the sleeve liner each serve as a sealing cuff whereby air flow is laminar therethrough irrespective of the convolutes.

    摘要: A method and system that can be used to address improper towing of a vehicle so that unnecessary damage to the vehicle can be detected, recorded, prevented, avoided, etc. According to an exemplary embodiment, the method uses a vehicle power signal and one or more wheel movement signal(s) to detect instances of improper towing and, if detected, initiates a remedial action. Remedial actions could include, for example, alerting the tow truck operator through a visual and/or audible alarm, sending a wireless warning message to a remote call center, and recording the relevant information for subsequent analysis. In one embodiment, the wheel movement signals are provided by tire pressure monitoring (TPM) sensors already located in the vehicle.

    摘要: Brake pads are retracted with respect to the brake rotor responsive to predetermined conditions of the motor vehicle in which braking is not required. Selective application of negative brake line pressure causes the caliper pistons to retract with respect to their respective caliper cylinders, thereby causing the brake pads to retract from the brake rotor. The predetermined conditions of the motor vehicle when braking is not required include when the motor vehicle is cruising or is parked.
