| 20120127638 | ESS WITH INTEGRATED DC/DC CONVERTER AND HYBRID POWER ELECTRONICS - A power system for connecting high voltage components includes an enclosure having an interior space. A plurality of high voltage (HV) components are removably coupled to the enclosure and positioned in the interior space of the enclosure. The plurality of HV components are electrically coupled to each other. A motor is positioned outside the enclosure, and the motor is electrically interconnected through the enclosure to one of the HV components. A heat sink is positioned within the interior space for providing thermal heat transfer away from the components. | 05-24-2012 |
| 20120125746 | HYBRID VEHICLE HIGH VOLTAGE MULTIPLE BATTERY DISCONNECT - An apparatus for selectively connecting and disconnecting a high voltage source includes a mechanical actuator including a plurality of stations. Each station includes connection elements that are electrically connectable to one or more corresponding high voltage modules which are part of a plurality of high voltage modules. The plurality of high voltage modules are electrically connectable to each other. The mechanical actuator has a connected position and a disconnected position for simultaneously electrically connecting each of the plurality of high voltage modules to each other, and for simultaneously electrically disconnecting each of the plurality of high voltage modules from each other. | 05-24-2012 |
| 20110283525 | Die Cast Rotor With Steel End Rings to Contain Aluminum - A rotor for an electrical inductor motor or an induction generator includes a core having spaces formed in the core. The rotor also has a first end ring. The first end ring has a first hub portion. A first ring is connected to the first hub portion by first spokes. The rotor also has a second end ring. The second end ring has a second hub portion. A second ring is connected to the second hub portion by second spokes. The first end ring is secured to the core. The second end ring is rotated a predetermined amount so the first spokes are misaligned with the second spokes. The second end ring is connected to the first end ring and the core. The core, the first end ring and the second end ring form a substrate. An aluminum conductor is cast to the substrate. The aluminum conductor fills in the spaces and around the first and second spokes to form a cast rotor. | 11-24-2011 |
| 20110209933 | HYBRID DRIVE SYSTEM FOR HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLES - A hybrid electric drive system is provided for driving a medium or heavy duty vehicle. The drive system includes an internal combustion engine configured as the primary source of motive power. The engine is coupled to a front-most axle and a first drive shaft in mechanical communication with a middle drive axle. The drive system also includes an electric motor and a clutch assembly; and a second driveshaft in mechanical communication with the electric motor and a rear-most drive axle. When the electric motor is not in active operation, the clutch assembly disengages the electric motor from the rear-most drive axle. | 09-01-2011 |
| 20100207634 | ROBUST AC CHASSIS FAULT DETECTION USING PWM SIDEBAND HARMONICS - A method, apparatus and computer program for detecting an AC chassis fault on one or more DC/AC converters having a load is disclosed, including receiving a chassis voltage V | 08-19-2010 |
| 20100198536 | BATTERY HEALTH ASSESSMENT ESTIMATOR - A battery state of health estimator and similar method, system and computer product is disclosed providing for a estimate of a state of health (SOH) of one or more batteries, comprising, estimating a sampling of internal resistances of the one or more batteries, generating a time history of the internal resistance over a predetermined amount of time, generating a cumulative internal resistance histogram from the time history, calculated a final estimate of internal resistance of said one or more batteries which represents the calculated SOH of said one or more batteries and comparing the calculated SOH to a predetermined critical resistance threshold. If the calculated SOH is less than the predetermined critical resistance threshold, the battery is in no worse than a “Blue Monday” condition, and if the calculated SOH is greater than the critical resistance threshold, then the one or more batteries has failed. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100171387 | Die Cast Rotor With Steel End Rings to Contain Aluminum - A rotor for an electrical inductor motor or an induction generator includes a core having spaces formed in the core. The rotor also has a first end ring. The first end ring has a first hub portion. A first ring is connected to the first hub portion by first spokes. The rotor also has a second end ring. The second end ring has a second hub portion. A second ring is connected to the second hub portion by second spokes. The first end ring is secured to the core. The second end ring is rotated a predetermined amount so the first spokes are misaligned with the second spokes. The second end ring is connected to the first end ring and the core. The core, the first end ring and the second end ring form a substrate. An aluminum conductor is cast to the substrate. The aluminum conductor fills in the spaces and around the first and second spokes to form a cast rotor. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20100066586 | RANGE AND AZIMUTH RESOLUTION ENHANCEMENT FOR REAL-BEAM RADAR - Disclosed is a method, means for and computer program for enhancing range and azimuth resolution in a two-dimensional (2D) image generated by a frequency modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar for providing enhanced situational awareness in autonomous approach and landing guidance (AALG) system by forming and displaying a two-dimensional (2D) model of landing conditions from received range and azimuth real beam radar (RBR) signals by rendering one or more target locations and amplitudes in both range and azimuth, selecting a region of interest from the displayed 2D model to enhance the one or more target locations in the selected region of interest, selectively applying range and azimuth resolution enhancement using a first and second beamforming approach or applying azimuth only resolution enhancement by using just the second beamforming approach to obtain an one or more accurate target location estimations and combining the enhanced one or more target locations to render an enhanced 2D image. | 03-18-2010 |
