| 20120130674 | DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM - A diagnostic system and method for an electric power steering system are provided. The diagnostic system includes a first microprocessor that determines a first relative position value indicating the relative rotational position of the rotatable shaft at the first time based on the signals from first and second position sensors. A second microprocessor determines a second relative position value indicating the relative rotational position of the rotatable shaft at the first time based on the signals from third and fourth position sensors. The first microprocessor determines whether the first relative position value is an acceptable value based on a difference between the first relative position value and the second relative position value. | 05-24-2012 |
| 20120130592 | HARMONIC PINION TORQUE CORRECTION - A method of controlling an electric power steering system is provided. The method includes: determining a scale factor based on a handwheel position; applying the scale factor to a hand wheel torque value to scale the hand wheel torque value; and generating a corrected handwheel torque signal based on the scaled hand wheel torque value. | 05-24-2012 |
| 20120126654 | PERMANENT MAGNET BRUSHLESS MOTOR - A permanent magnet brushless motor is provided. The motor includes a stator having a tubular-shaped member and a plurality of tooth members extending radially inwardly from the tubular-shaped member. Each tooth member has an arcuate-shaped convex surface disposed proximate to an interior region defined by the stator. Each arcuate-shaped convex surface is defined by a first radius that is rotated about a respective center point that is disposed radially outside of the stator. The motor further includes a rotor disposed within the interior region of the stator. | 05-24-2012 |
| 20120067154 | TRANSMISSION SHIFT ASSEMBLY FOR A VEHICLE AND A METHOD OF MONITORING THE SAME - The present invention provides for a transmission shift assembly for a vehicle and methods of monitoring and controlling the same. The transmission shift assembly includes a transmission having a shift position member movable between a plurality of gear positions, an actuator configured to move the shift position between the gear positions, and a linkage coupled to the actuator and movable between a plurality of positions in response to movement of the actuator. The assembly further includes a controller to control the actuator, an ignition to receive a key, and at least one key sensor positioned within the ignition and configured to transmit a signal to the controller upon sensing removal of the key, the controller controlling the actuator to move the shift position member to a predetermined gear position upon receiving the signal from the key sensor that the key has been removed from the ignition. | 03-22-2012 |
| 20110167940 | ROTARY-TO-LINEAR MECHANISM HAVING AN ISOLATOR - A rotary-to-linear mechanism including an elongate linearly-moveable first member having a longitudinal first axis, and rotatably-moveable second and third members. The second member is rotatably disposed about the first member and defines a second axis about which it is rotatable. The third member encircles the first axis and is operatively engaged with the first member. The third member is disposed in a central cavity of the second member and has an axial surface superposing a second member interior surface, the superposed surfaces each defining one of a pair of corresponding grooves each encircling the first and second axes. | 07-14-2011 |
