Ajit Singh Grewal 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: 9856931
    Abstract: A hydraulic control system includes a hydraulic pump driven by an electric motor, a solenoid valve having an output that controls the positions of a pressure regulator valve and a third, stator shift valve. The solenoid valve is a normally high, variable force solenoid valve which provides a control signal to the second and third valves. The second, pressure regulator valve is a multiple port valve which controls hydraulic fluid flow both to a transmission oil cooler (ATOC) and to an exhaust port, thereby maintaining a desired system pressure. The third, stator shift valve is also a multiple port valve and it controls fluid flow to the stator of the electric pump motor to provide cooling and to a dog clutch of the transmission to disengage it.
