  • Method for a vehicle
    Patent number: 10296674
    Abstract: A method for providing a model for a part of a vehicle includes selecting at least one operation state, selecting at least one possible fault type for the vehicle part, simulating vehicle part performance for the at least one operation state during the occurrence of the at least one possible fault type, for each simulation creating a representation of the vehicle part performance in which each representation is associated with at least one operating parameter value, and storing the at least one representation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 19, 2013
    Date of Patent: May 21, 2019
    Assignee: Volvo Truck Corporation
    Inventors: Olof Lindgärde, Rune Prytz, Daniel Blom

  • Method and system for controlling a free-piston energy converter
    Patent number: 7721686
    Abstract: A method and system for controlling a free-piston energy converter is disclosed in which effects of events, like combustion events, in at least one of at least two cylinders, are decoupled from each other by predicting forces acting on the moving mass of the converter during a stroke of the moving mass and by evaluating or estimating a value representing a force which is exerted onto the moving mass, so that the moving mass reaches a desired reference condition or state, like a desired reference kinetic energy, at a certain position along the stroke.
