Abstract: An electric machine includes a wire conductor having at least one end, a terminal configured to be operatively connected to the at least one end of the wire conductor, and a terminal member having a first end section configured and disposed to establish a mechanical bond and an electrical connection with the at least one end of the wire conductor, and a second end section configured and disposed to establish a mechanical link and an electrical connection with the terminal.

Abstract: A two-position, three-way solenoid-actuated valve includes a valve assembly having an axial opening and a valve member fixed in the axial opening with a first valve seat and a second valve seat disposed in the axial opening. The valve assembly including a ball disposed in the axial opening and moveable between the first valve seat and the second valve seat. The two-position, three-way solenoid-actuated valve also includes an electromagnetic coil assembly engaging the valve assembly to move the ball between the first valve seat and the second valve seat to open and close a fluid path through the valve assembly to provide directional flow control.

Abstract: A proportional pressure control solenoid valve includes a valve spool with dual feedback pins slidable relative to the spool within a common bore of the spool as the spool moves. The feedback pins have unequal cross sectional areas defining an operative feedback area and enabling minimization of the valve's size in a cost efficient manner. To control output pressure as a function of control current, an electro-magnetically generated force initiates modulation of the valve with assistance from a hydraulic feedback force and in opposition to the force of modulating spring.

Abstract: A pressure control solenoid based vehicle braking system utilizes intensifiers to permit the hydraulic control components to operate at lower pressures. A method of selectively locking the intensifiers in position is provided. Unique pressure regulators provide predictable control of load pressure and are isolated in the system by a combination of enable valves and the locking method.
