Filed:

Jun 1, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/584884

Inventors:

Raymond Houston Ash - Cincinnati OH
David Arthur Chappell - West Chester OH
Lara Jeanne Ivey - Cincinnati OH

Assignee:

The Procter Gamble Company - Cincinnati OH

International Classification:

G01G 1302

US Classification:

177116, 222 55, 222 56, 222 77

Abstract:

A method for controlling an amount of material delivered during a material transfer. This method includes the steps of inputting a target amount for a material to be delivered from a source location to a target location, updating the target amount during the delivery of the material using a predictive model-based algorithm, and updating the predictive model-based algorithm based on process performance data using a recursive least-squares procedure. An adaptive selection algorithm which is used to determine whether at least one previous predictive model-based algorithm parameter should be replaced with at least one new predictive model-based algorithm parameter in order to adapt the predictive model-based algorithm in response to a process change. A method for overlapping a delivery of at least one independently measured material with a delivery of a main material during a material transfer process.

Appl. No.:

13/323898

Inventors:

Raymond H. Ash - Cincinnati OH, US

Assignee:

International Classification:

G05D 17/00

US Classification:

701 22

Abstract:

In an electric vehicle including at least two drive wheels, an electric motor is operatively coupled to each drive wheel and a braking assembly is operatively coupled to each wheel. A controller is operatively coupled to each electric motor and each braking assembly for independently controlling the torque applied to each drive wheel and the braking pressure applied to each wheel. In a method of controlling an electric vehicle, a controller generates motor torque commands and sends them to each electric motor. The controller also generates brake pressure commands and sends them to each brake assembly associated with each wheel. In both the vehicle and the method, the controller may rely upon input received from sensors associated with the vehicle and may perform a control algorithm.
