摘要： A clutch (22) includes a first member (48) rotatable with respect to a base member (14) in a first direction A and a second direction B, a second member (56) rotatable with respect to the base member, a rolling element (62) between the first and second members, and a ramp sleeve (58) disposed between the first and second members, and coupled to the base member such that the ramp sleeve is generally prevented from rotating with respect to the base member. The ramp sleeve includes a ramp (82). The second member includes a first rotational position with respect to the ramp sleeve and a second rotational position with respect to the ramp sleeve. The rolling element is configured to wedge against the ramp to prevent relative rotation of the first member with respect to the base member in the first direction when the second member is in the first rotational position. When the second member is in the second rotational position, the first member is able to rotate with respect to the base member in the first rotational direction.

摘要： A vehicle network and method for communicating information within a vehicle. The network includes a plurality of network elements joined by communication links. A data frame is provided for communicating information between a first device and a second device attached to the network. A network element in the network is capable of mapping a first resource on an incoming communication link of the network element to a second link resource of an outgoing communication link of the network element. The network element further has ports for receiving the data frame from the first link resource of the incoming communication link and for communicating the data frame to the second link resource of the outgoing communication link. The mapping may be done statically or dynamically such as based on information stored in the network element or based on information stored in the data frame.

摘要： Disclosed herein are a variety of different electrical system topologies intended to mitigate the impact of large intermittent loads on a 12 volt vehicle power distribution system. In some embodiments the intermittent load is disconnected from the remainder of the system and the voltage supplied to this load is allowed to fluctuate. In other embodiments, the voltage to critical loads is regulated independently of the voltage supplied to the remainder of the system. The different topologies described can be grouped into three categories, each corresponding to a different solution technique. One approach is to regulate the voltage to the critical loads. A second approach is to isolate the intermittent load that causes the drop in system voltage. The third approach is to use a different type of alternator that has a faster response than the conventional Lundell wound field machine.

摘要： A method, and a corresponding system, for determining misfire in a reciprocating engine measures engine crankshaft angular velocity and provides an angular velocity signal as measured from the engine crankshaft (403). A filtered acceleration signal, dependent on the engine crankshaft angular velocity signal and independent of normal combustion information and other high-order effects is provided via filtering (405). When the filtered acceleration signal exceeds a threshold dependent on at least one of the following; engine speed, engine load, or engine temperature (711), a misfire is indicated. Preferably, prior to the misfire determination, the filtered acceleration signal (701) is sampled over a first period of engine crankshaft rotation to provide a first data point (703), over a second period of engine crankshaft rotation to provide a second data point (707), and over a third period of engine crankshaft rotation to provide a third data point (705). Then, an average of the first and third data points is subtracted from the second data point and a combined acceleration signal is provided (511). Then, a misfire is indicated (517) when the combined acceleration signal exceeds the threshold (513). Preferably, this sampling of the filtered acceleration signal is continuous, and the sampling of the first, second and third data points is separated by two engine crankshaft rotations.

摘要： A method of shifting a power distribution unit for a vehicle from a first operating state to a second operating state is provided. The method includes the step of adjusting a rotational speed of a portion of a second axle assembly using a clutching device to impart energy to a lubricant within the second axle assembly. A controller in communication with a power source of the vehicle adjusts an operating condition of the power source to facilitate moving the clutching device. The power distribution unit includes an inter-axle differential capable being placed in a locked condition by the clutching device and of accommodating a rotational difference between a first output gear and a second output gear with the inter-axle differential.

摘要： A vehicle active network (12) communicatively couples devices (14-20) within a vehicle (10). Device operation is independent of the interface (22-28) of the device (14-20) with the active network (12). Additionally, the architecture of the active network (12) provides one or more levels of communication redundancy. The architecture provides for the total integration of vehicle systems and functions, and permits plug-and-play device integration and upgradeability.

摘要： A system and method for tunneling standard bus protocol messages through an automotive switch fabric network. When a bus protocol message arrives on a connecting node in the network, a bus driver in the node will capture the message and store it into a message buffer where the message can be further processed by a tunneling application. Each received bus protocol message will be broken, or combined, to suit the available packet size of the underlying transmit layer of the switch fabric network. Data portions such as message identification, sequence number, port number, bus data type, and data length are reserved in each data packet. If the message is being broken down, the sequence number is used to differentiate the broken segments of the bus protocol message. The bus data type is used to indicate the type of protocol data being transmitted over the switch fabric. The same tunneling application may be used to reassemble the bus protocol message at a receiving node.

The flywheel energy storage assembly includes a flywheel rotatably disposed in a flywheel housing, a fluid source, a braking actuator in fluid communication with the fluid source and an interior of the flywheel housing, a sensor, and a controller in communication with the sensor and the braking actuator. In response to a stimulus detected by the sensor, the controller directs the braking actuator to facilitate fluid communication between the fluid source and the interior of the flywheel housing to dissipate energy stored in the flywheel energy storage assembly.
