Abstract: A system and method are provided for controlling a drivetrain of a vehicle which includes a prime mover operatively connected to at least one tractive element. The system and method include determining the vehicle's total weight and, using an electronic controller carried by the vehicle, causing the prime mover to apply power to the tractive element so as to propel the vehicle. The magnitude of the power can be a function of the vehicle's total weight.

Abstract: A power converter includes a plurality of switches that interconnect first and second input terminals of the power converter with first and second output terminals of the power converter. The switches are switched to convert power from the input terminals to the output terminals. During the switching, voltage spikes are mitigated by a first RLC branch connected from the first input terminal to the first output terminal and by a second RLC branch connected from the second input terminal to the second output terminal.
