20090115373 | METHOD OF CHARGING A POWERTRAIN - A method of charging a powertrain includes detecting an external power source in electrical communication with the powertrain, establishing a virtual network between charging control module, and transferring charge from the external power source to the powertrain. | 05-07-2009 |
20090115377 | METHOD OF EXTERNALLY CHARGING A POWERTRAIN - A method of externally charging a powertrain includes monitoring a voltage level of a first battery, determining when the monitored voltage level is below a first voltage threshold, and when the monitored voltage level is below the first voltage threshold, charging the first battery by supplying power from an external power source and increasing voltage of the power supplied by the external power source within the powertrain. | 05-07-2009 |
20090118916 | METHOD TO MANAGE A HIGH VOLTAGE SYSTEM IN A HYBRID POWERTRAIN SYSTEM - A powertrain includes an electromechanical transmission operative to transmit torque between an input member and an electric machine and an output member to transmit tractive torque. The electric machine is electrically connected to an inverter device which is electrically connected to an energy storage device. A method for operating the powertrain includes detecting a shutdown event, commanding the transmission to neutral, commanding the electric machine to cease operating in a torque generating mode, and electrically disconnecting the energy storage device from the inverter device. | 05-07-2009 |
20110309777 | VEHICULAR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN INVERTER DURING MOTOR DECELERATION - Methods and systems for operating an inverter having a plurality of high switches and a plurality of low switches coupled to an electric motor are provided. An event indicative of deceleration of the electric motor is detected. The inverter is alternated between a first mode of operation and a second mode of operation during the deceleration of the electric motor. In the first mode of operation, each of the plurality of high switches is activated and each of the plurality of low switches is deactivated or each of the plurality of low switches is activated and each of the plurality of high switches is deactivated. In the second mode of operation, each of the plurality of high switches is deactivated and each of the plurality of low switches is deactivated. | 12-22-2011 |

20120123807 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUS FOR ENTERPRISE BILLING AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE - Systems, apparatus, methods and articles of manufacture provide for an integrated operations management system for revenue management and/or billing and accounts receivable (e.g., in an insurance or other financial context). In some embodiments, an operations management system provides for determining a complexity rating for an account (e.g., a loss sensitive insurance account). In some embodiments, the complexity rating may be based on respective answers (e.g., provided by an end user) to one or more survey questions. In some embodiments, the complexity rating may be used for determining a billing priority rating for an account. | 05-17-2012 |

20130313048 | METHOD TO DETECT LOSS OF FLUID OR BLOCKAGE IN A HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT USING EXPONENTIALLY WEIGHTED MOVING AVERAGE FILTER - Method for detecting a fault condition in a vehicular hydraulic circuit during a drive cycle using an electric pump includes monitoring an actual pump torque and monitoring a desired pump torque. A current confidence factor is determined based on the actual pump torque and the desired pump torque. An average confidence factor is iteratively calculated based on the current confidence factor and previously determined confidence factors. The average confidence factor is compared to a fault condition threshold. An absence of the fault condition in the hydraulic circuit is detected when the average confidence factor is at least the fault condition threshold, and a presence of the fault condition in the hydraulic circuit is detected when the average confidence factor is less than the fault condition threshold. | 11-28-2013 |

20110146179 | MOLDED PANEL SIMULATING MULTIPLE BOARDS - A unitary molded panel simulates the appearance of a plurality of boards. A body of molded material has a plurality of elongated board elements each with a top face, a pair of opposed end faces, and a pair of opposed side edges. The end faces define a thickness of the board elements. The board elements are parallel to one another and spaced apart so as to define a width of the body. Connection elements each extend between and interconnect the side edges of adjacent board elements. The connection elements provide the only connection between adjacent board elements. Each connection element has a pair of opposed ends and an upper surface extending between the ends. The entirety of the upper surface of each connection element is spaced below the upper plane. Each of the ends is spaced inwardly from the end faces of the adjacent board elements. | 06-23-2011 |
20110151193 | ARTICLE WITH INVERSE WOOD GRAIN PATTERN - An article with a simulated wood grain has a molded unitary body having a first face with a total area. The first face has a base surface and a plurality of ticking elements that are disposed on and extend upwardly from the base surface. The ticking elements extend generally along a ticking axis. Each ticking element has an upper ticking surface spaced above the base surface. The upper ticking surfaces of the ticking elements in aggregate form a minority of the total area of the first face of the molded unitary body. The ticking elements on the base surface cooperate to simulate the appearance of wood grain on the first face of the molded unitary body. | 06-23-2011 |
