Patents by Inventor Mohammad Sameer Khan

Mohammad Sameer Khan has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11718184
    Abstract: A vehicle includes an electric machine having a rotor and a stator, a resolver that measures a position of the rotor relative to the stator, and a controller. The controller, based on the position and a resolver offset, injects a first current having only a d-axis component into the electric machine, and responsive to detecting a first motion output of the electric machine being greater than a threshold, adjusts the resolver offset according to a magnitude and direction of the first motion output.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20230151884
    Abstract: A vehicle includes an inverter, a pump, a buck converter, and a controller. The inverter has an input connected to a battery and an output connected to an electric machine. The inverter is configured to convert power between DC electrical power at the input and AC electrical power at the output. The pump is configured to circulate lubricating fluid within a transmission. The buck converter is configured to deliver DC electrical power from the inverter to the pump. The controller is programmed to, in response to the electric machine delivering AC electrical power to the inverter during a towing condition of the vehicle while the vehicle is shutdown, operate the buck converter to power the pump.

  • Patent number: 11296642
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a battery, an electric machine, a rotor position sensor, an inverter, and a controller. The electric machine is configured to propel the vehicle. The electric machine has a stator and a rotor. The inverter is disposed between the battery and the electric machine. The inverter is configured to convert DC electrical power from the battery into AC electrical power. The inverter is configured to deliver the AC electrical power to the electric machine. The controller is programmed to adjust the offset position of the rotor position senor and control the torque of the electric machine based on the offset position of the rotor position sensor.
