Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for controlling the speed on each wheel of a vehicle, possibly operating a vehicle in a speed control mode. In response to receiving input to engage speed control mode and receiving an accelerator pedal input, the system determines a target wheel speed based on the accelerator pedal input, monitors wheel speed of each of a plurality of wheels and determines, for each monitored wheel, a difference based on the monitored wheel speed and the target wheel speed. A torque is provided to each of the plurality of wheels based on the respective difference to achieve the target wheel speed.

Abstract: A torque security system for a vehicle is provided. The system receives a signal from a sensor coupled to a motor shaft of an electric motor and determines an acceleration of the electric motor, based on the signal from the sensor that indicates an amount of rotation of the motor shaft. The system determines an internal torque between the motor shaft and an input gear coupled to the motor shaft, based on the acceleration of the electric motor and an inertia of the electric motor and a gearbox. The powertrain of the vehicle comprises the gearbox and the electric motor, and the input gear couples the electric motor to the gearbox. The system determines whether the internal torque exceeds a threshold torque, and in response to determining that the internal torque exceeds the threshold torque, the system reduces power output to the electric motor. The system also diagnoses the health of the gearbox.

Abstract: A system is configured to manage motor engagement in a vehicle by determining to engage a disengaged motor shaft with a drivetrain, and in response, activating a feedback controller based on a speed of the motor shaft and activating a feedforward controller. The system determines at least one metric for modifying an output of the feedforward controller. The at least one metric is based on the speed of the motor shaft and the desired speed, and may be applied as a gain to the output of the feedforward controller. The system generates a command based on the feedback controller, the feedforward controller, and the at least one metric, and causes the motor shaft and the drivetrain to be engaged based on the speed of the motor shaft and the desired speed. The system nulls output of the feedforward controller as the speed of the motor shaft approaches the desired speed.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for overlaying multisource media in VRAM are described. The primary media source is rendered in VRAM by an application program, and then the secondary media source(s) are rendered and blended to the primary source in VRAM at the same location of the primary source in VRAM, so no extra buffer is needed. This improves system performance and reduces power consumption, through reduced system bus, system memory, and CPU usage.

Abstract: Differing from traditional alloys often containing one primary elemental composition, the present invention reforms a conventional superalloy to a high-entropy superalloy by redesigning the elemental compositions of the conventional superalloy based on a mixing entropy formula. Particularly, this high-entropy superalloy shows advantages of light weight and low cost under the premise of containing a low amount of expensive metal composition. The proposed high-entropy superalloy of the present invention comprises a primary elemental composition and at least one principal strengthening elemental composition, wherein the primary elemental composition has a first element content of at least 35 at % and each of the principal strengthening elemental compositions have a second element content of over 5 at %.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a new alloy design of precipitation strengthened high entropy superalloy (HESA), which is composed of at least one principal element, a plurality of base element, and at least one precipitation strengthening element for controlling the elemental segregation between the high-entropy matrix and ordered precipitate. Through the addition of the precipitation strengthening element, while substituting the same amount of the principle element, not only the ordering energy and the volume fraction of strengthening precipitates, but also the mechanical strength of the alloy can be apparently elevated. Therefore, this newly-developed precipitation strengthened HESA can further improve the thermal capability and mechanical properties from the previously proposed high-entropy alloys.
