  • Patent number: 8482393
    Abstract: A motor vehicle transmission with at least one sensor (15), associated with the motor vehicle transmission, for picking up measurement signals at the motor vehicle transmission and transmitting them by a wireless unit to a transmission control unit (12) of the motor vehicle transmission. In each case, an RFID-responder (16) is associated with each sensor (15), which transmits the respective measurement signals concerned to an RFID-reader (17), associated with the transmission control unit (12). The RFID-reader (17) transmits wirelessly to the RFID-responder (16), associated with the sensor (15) concerned, electrical energy for operating the sensor (15) and for operating the RFID-responder (16) associated with the sensor (15).

  • Patent number: 8480538
    Abstract: A utility vehicle is disclosed having an electric drive. The drivetrain is comprised of batteries, a motor, a transaxle driven by the motor, a rear differential driven by the transaxle, and a prop shaft which is driven by the transaxle and drives a front differential. The batteries are provided in two groups and are supported on the frame of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 7789796
    Abstract: A method for controlling an idle stop mode in a hybrid electric vehicle includes performing an engine RPM lift-up control to raise an engine RPM if a deceleration is less than a medium deceleration when a speed of a hybrid electric vehicle reaches an idle stop mode entering speed such that as the engine RPM is raised, a gear changing oil pressure is increased, so that a continuously variable transmission (CVT) gear ratio according to a deceleration reaches a target minimum gear ratio, and as the CVT gear ratio reaches the target minimum gear ratio, entering an idle stop mode even when a deceleration is less than a medium deceleration while a transmission control unit (TCU) does not perform a control operation for preventing an idle stop mode from being entered.

  • Patent number: 5704457
    Abstract: A driving force from a motor is transmitted through a pinion, a first gear, a second gear, a third gear, a link, a control lever, a control shaft, a parking shaft and a parking lever to a parking pole. A lost motion spring is mounted between the control shaft and the parking lever for biasing the parking pole toward a parking gear. A one-way clutch is mounted between the third gear and a housing. The one-way clutch permits the driving force from the motor to be transmitted to the parking pole and prevents the resilient force of the lost motion spring from being transmitted back to the motor.
