| 20100160114 | PROCESS OF ENDING A CLUTCH PROTECTION FUNCTION - The invention relates to a process of ending a clutch protection function against overload of an automated clutch. The clutch protection function is ended when, by actuating the gas- and brake pedals, an absolute value of a brake pedal signal falls below a default threshold value and the time derivative of the brake pedal signal is negative. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100029440 | INTEGRATED HYDRAULIC CONTROL SYSTEM FOR AWD VEHICLE - A hydraulic control system for a vehicle includes a brake control unit having a mechanically actuated master cylinder and an electric motor driven pump. The master cylinder and the pump are each adapted to separately provide pressurized fluid to a brake cylinder. A hydraulically actuated drive coupling selectively transfers torque between rotatable input and output shafts. The rotatable output shaft is adapted to drive a vehicle wheel. The hydraulic control unit is in receipt of pressurized fluid from the pump. The hydraulic control unit includes a valve moveable between a first position where the drive coupling is in communication with the pressurized fluid and torque is transferred by the coupling and a second position where the pressure of the fluid in the cavity is reduced to reduce the torque transferred by the coupling. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20100062900 | REMOTE HAND BRAKE - A quick release brake mechanism has a housing, a first shaft mounted in the housing and at least one gear rotatably received thereon. A second gear is rotatably mounted in the housing in operative engagement with the first shaft. A clutch is operatively disposed between the first shaft and the second gear, and a locking mechanism is mounted in the housing in operative engagement with the first shaft at least one gear and the clutch. The clutch is moveable between a first position in which the first shaft is rotationally coupled to the first and the second gears, and a second position in which the second gear rotates with respect to the first shaft. A remotely operated quick release mechanism operatively coupled to the housing has a first end operatively coupled to a power source and an opposite second end operatively coupled to the clutch so as to move the clutch from the clutch first position into the clutch second position. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20100062901 | Method of Controlling an External Activation Clutch Brake - A method of controlling an activation load applied to a clutch pedal. A first load is applied to the clutch pedal that has a first reaction force in a first phase of pedal movement. A switch is activated at the end of the first phase. When the switch is activated, a second load that is greater than the first load is applied to the pedal that provides a second reaction force in a second phase of pedal movement. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20120270701 | METHOD FOR OPERATING AN AUTOMATIC START/STOP SYSTEM IN A VEHICLE - The disclosure relates to methods for operating an automatic start/stop system in a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine and an automatic clutch, wherein the automatic start/stop system automatically opens the clutch as a function of propulsion requests, wherein the automatic opening of the clutch is prohibited in certain driving situations such as detected hazardous situations. | 10-25-2012 |
| 20120100960 | METHOD AND CONTROL SYSTEM FOR OPENING THE DRIVETRAIN OF A MOTOR VEHICLE - A system and method for selectively opening a drivetrain of a vehicle is described. In one example, an electrically operated clutch is opened during selected driving conditions to conserve kinetic energy of the vehicle. The method may reduce fuel consumption during selected conditions. | 04-26-2012 |

| 20120295761 | System for Controlling Torque Distribution - A torque distribution control system comprises a torsion unit for detecting traction on wheels of a primary driving axle that is continuously engaged with a drive source or a source of torque power. The amount of traction detected is converted to a signal with variable signal strength, the signal strength correlating to the amount of traction detected by the torsion unit. The signal strength capable of being adjusted automatically based on select parameters and/or manually based on a driver's input. And, in response to the signal, actuators engage and control operations of the vehicle such as the drive source, a braking system, and/or an axle clutch, with the level of engagement dependent upon the signal strength. | 11-22-2012 |
| 20090247362 | CLUTCH CONTROL DEVICE - An apparatus includes a clutch control unit to control a control amount of a clutch and a brake to temporarily stop an output side rotating body while the clutch is disconnected. A clutch-control-amount detector detects the control amount of the clutch and an engagement start detector detects an engagement start of the clutch when a rotational speed difference between the input side rotating body and the output side rotating body becomes equal to or less than a predetermined value. An engagement-start control-amount detector detects the control amount of the clutch in the engagement start and a clutch-correction-control-amount deriver derives a correction control amount of the clutch based on the control amount of the clutch at the time when the engagement start is detected after the output side rotating body is temporarily stopped. The clutch control unit feedback-controls the control amount of the clutch based on the correction control amount. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20100048354 | AUTOMATED TRANSMISSION AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - An automated gear shift transmission and method of controlling the same are described. The transmission is installed in a motor vehicle comprising several forward gears and at least one reverse gear and that allows choosing from several different driving modes by means of a driving mode selector lever. A forward gear is maintained in engagement in case of an uphill orientation of the motor vehicle when the parking mode is chosen. Instead of the forward gear, a reverse gear is maintained in engagement in case of a downhill orientation of the motor vehicle when the parking mode is chosen. This allows taking specific driving conditions or driving situations into account with relatively simple means. | 02-25-2010 |

| 20080305930 | ENGINE STALL PREVENTION SYSTEM FOR INDUSTRIAL VEHICLES AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - Disclosed herein is an engine stall prevention system for industrial vehicles. The engine stall prevention system includes a transmission, which is configured such that a hydraulic shuttle valve for performing forward and reverse switching without requiring the operation of a clutch pedal, and a control unit for controlling the shuttle valve. The control unit receives a brake pedal operation signal from a brake detection unit for detecting the operation of a brake pedal, detects the traveling state of a vehicle using a traveling detection unit, determines whether the speed and engine RPM of the vehicle are equal to or less than respective preset values, and performs automatic control such that the shuttle valve enters a neutral state or a half-clutch state if it is determined that the vehicle speed is greater than the corresponding preset value and the engine RPM is equal to or less than the corresponding preset value. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20120094803 | Engine Speed Control Device For Industrial Vehicle - An engine speed control device for an industrial vehicle includes an approach detector that detects an approach of the industrial vehicle to an object to be approached; and an engine speed controller that restricts an upper limit of a rotation speed of an engine when the approach detector detects an approach of the industrial vehicle to an object to be approached. | 04-19-2012 |
