6844704, Jan 18, 2005

Filed:

Oct 4, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/972073

Inventors:

Michael David Wilk - Temecula CA, US
Brian D. Moran - San Diego CA, US

Assignee:

ISE Corp. - San Diego CA

International Classification:

H02J 700

US Classification:

320132

Abstract:

An active voltage limiting and failure detection system for an energy storage cell of a multiple energy storage cell pack includes a first electrical circuit and a second electrical circuit connected to the energy storage cell. The first electrical circuit is powered by the energy storage cell and includes means for drawing a significant amount of power from the energy storage cell when a cell voltage Vcell reaches a maximum voltage Vmax to reduce the cell voltage Vcell, means for stopping the drawing of the significant amount of power to reduce the cell voltage Vcell when the cell voltage Vcell reaches a minimum voltage Vmin, and means for drawing no power when the cell voltage Vcell reaches a shutdown voltage Vshutdown. The second electrical circuit includes means for indicating a cell active condition when the cell voltage Vcell is above a threshold active voltage Vactive, and means for indicating a cell inactive condition when the cell voltage Vcell drops below the threshold active voltage Vactive.

Appl. No.:

10/364868

Inventors:

Brian Douglas Moran - San Diego CA, US
Ailen Villegas Quintana - National City CA, US
Michael David Wilk - Temecula CA, US

Assignee:

ISE Corporation - Poway CA

International Classification:

H02H 3/18

US Classification:

361 83, 307 86

Abstract:

A reverse current protection device includes one or more contactors in a power circuit that open to prevent current flow and close to allow current flow; an impedance buffer to invert voltage across the diode; a threshold detector to compare inverted voltage to a reference voltage to determine a good or fault diode condition; an opto-isolator actuatable by the threshold detector when at least one of a good diode condition is determined and a fault diode condition is determined; and a relay in communication with the opto-isolator to cause at least one of the one or more contantors to close in a good diode condition and open in a fault diode condition.

Appl. No.:

10/948927

Inventors:

David A. Feinleib - Palo Alto CA, US
Brian K. Moran - Preston WA, US

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709220, 719319

Abstract:

A system and method for automating the migration of configuration settings and data from computer systems running the LINUX operating system to computer systems running the WINDOWS operating system. The invention utilizes data from one or more sources to create the configuration of the target system, and translates between settings related to the LINUX systems and WINDOWS systems involved. As a result, it simplifies the otherwise complex and time-consuming task of migrating from one server to another, specifically when migrating between two operating systems that provide similar functionality but are configured in distinctly different ways.

International Classification:

B60K 6/40
B60W 10/06
B60L 11/02
B60K 6/46

US Classification:

701 22, 701112, 903914, 180 65275, 180 65245

Abstract:

This invention relates to a Start-Stop method for a heavy-duty hybrid vehicle that turns off the internal combustion engine when the vehicle stops or, optionally, when the vehicle travels downhill. The Stop-Start method automatically restarts the internal combustion engine when the vehicle starts accelerating or is no longer traveling downhill. The software instructions for the Stop-Start method reside within the programming of the hybrid vehicle control computer as a subset of the hybrid vehicle control strategy in hybrid-electric or hybrid-hydraulic heavy-duty vehicle. During the time the internal combustion engine is turned off the necessary vehicle accessories operate from the available power of the hybrid high power energy storage.

US Classification:

701 22, 701112, 903914, 180 65275, 180 65245

Abstract:

A start-stop or idle-stop method for a heavy-duty hybrid vehicle that turns off the fuel supply while maintaining the crankshaft rotation of the internal combustion engine when the vehicle stops or, optionally, when the vehicle travels downhill, travels in a noise sensitive location, travels in an exhaust emissions sensitive location, or operates in an emergency situation. The stop-start or idle-stop method automatically turns on the engine fuel supply to restart combustion when the vehicle starts accelerating, is no longer traveling downhill, is no longer traveling in a noise sensitive or exhaust sensitive location, is no longer in an emergency situation, or has dropped below the minimum energy storage restart level.
