  • Patent number: 11449651
    Abstract: A computer includes a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to generate an operation parameter histogram for each of a plurality of vehicle operation parameters, operate a test vehicle according to the operation parameter histograms, input each operation parameter histogram and a plurality of test vehicle environment data to a machine learning program, output from the machine learning program a classification for each operation parameter histogram from the machine learning program, input the classifications to a predictive damage model of a three-dimensional schematic of a vehicle component, and adjust one of a size or a shape of the three-dimensional schematic based the output of the predictive damage model. The operation parameter histograms are based on collected data about operation of a plurality of vehicles. Each operation parameter histogram includes an array of elements.

  • Patent number: 9976645
    Abstract: A system for transferring heat between a transmission fluid and a coolant in a transmission, such as in a motor vehicle, includes a transmission pump for circulating the transmission fluid and an oil pan having a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger has at least one transmission fluid layer and at least one coolant layer. The heat exchanger is located on a high-pressure side of the transmission pump and is configured to receive a pressurized flow of the transmission fluid from the transmission pump. Preferably, the heat exchanger receives the pressurized flow directly from either the transmission pump or a hydraulic control system.

  • Patent number: 7637337
    Abstract: An oil pan includes a chamber for containing a liquid, a first passage for containing a coolant and forming a first flow path along a length of the chamber, including a first surface located between the chamber and the first passage, and a second passage for containing the liquid coolant, communicating with the first passage and forming a second flow path along a length of the chamber, including a second surface located between the chamber and the second first passage.
