  • Patent number: 8730818
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a converter/multiplexer and associated method of use therefor or converting and multiplexing parallel inputs, a modem, a GPS, or even modem information into a single multimaster broadcast serial bus standard for connecting electronic control units, and more specifically, to a multiplexer for transforming analog, digital, frequency, GPS, or modem inputs into a CAN bus data transmittal over LAN and/or PAN and interrelation with a similarly equipped receiving module. Further, the converter/multiplexer is used alone or in a group as part of a larger system for multiplexing and demultiplexing signals for serial bus processing and also for guidance when the converters are cabled by operators using stored configurations.

  • Publication number: 20130283072
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to an alarm-based power saving mode and associated system implemented on a device for a microprocessor or a telematics circuitry, and more particularly, to an alarm and powered-up microprocessor-driven power latch for disabling a power source to a microprocessor or telematics circuitry at a power switch. A microprocessor and/or telematics circuitry are powered down by an instruction step from the microprocessor or the telematics circuitry by using a power switch to cut off power. The switch is controlled by a power latch, which is regulated by a wake-up value given to an alarm to enable the power latch and exercise power switch control, as well as by a value given directly by the microprocessor to enter the powered down mode.

  • Patent number: 7469184
    Abstract: A system and method to provide navigational maintenance assistance for a vehicle includes a first step of estimating when the vehicle will require maintenance. A next step includes establishing a location and direction of travel of the vehicle. A next step includes searching a database for any service stations within a range of the vehicle and ahead of the location of the vehicle in the direction of travel of the vehicle before the vehicle becomes disabled. This step can be provided by a remote service provider. A next step includes presenting the found service stations from the searching step to a driver of the vehicle via a user interface.

  • Patent number: 7134707
    Abstract: A system for selectively attenuating light from a source of light, such as the sun, to a person's eyes in a vehicle. The system includes an electro-optical element (10) interposed between the source of light (16) and the person's eyes (14). The element (10) has pixels (18) that are operable to individually attenuate (38) light passing therethrough. A navigation system (28) determines a location and direction of travel of the vehicle. A memory (24) contains a general location for the person's eyes within the vehicle. Information (32) is made available for determining a position of the source of light. A controller (24) operates to determine those pixels of the elements that are calculated (38) to be between the person's eyes and the source of light, and to reduce the light transmittivity of those pixels (38) to attenuate the light from the source (16) to the person's eyes (14).

  • Publication number: 20040204069
    Abstract: In a remote communications device (106), a method of operating a personal communications system (102) includes coupling the remote communications device (106) to a vehicle (109), wherein the remote communications device (106) comprises substantially all functionality of the personal communications system and the remote communications device utilizing at least one vehicle resource (116) while coupled to the vehicle. The remote communications device can configure at least one vehicle subsystem (118) while coupled to the vehicle and access content through remote communications device utilizing at the at least one vehicle resource. When remote communications device is uncoupled from the vehicle, it retains the functionality of the personal communications system (102) and remote communications device (106) can access content independent of the vehicle resources.

  • Patent number: 6748211
    Abstract: A client device in a communication system having a service center. The client device includes a microcomputer and a wireless communication device. The microcomputer may generate a message and determine whether the message includes high-priority data. The wireless communication device has the capability of transmitting the message to the service center over each of a plurality of bearer services. The microcomputer then sequentially selects to transmit the message over each of the plurality of bearer services according to a first sequential order until the message is transmitted to the service center if the message includes high-priority data. Alternatively, the microcomputer sequentially selects to transmit the message over each of the plurality of bearer services according to a second sequential order until the message is transmitted to the service center if the message does not include high-priority data. There are also methods of performing these functions in the client device.

  • Patent number: 6427445
    Abstract: A variable nozzle turbocharger (12) creates engine boost. Boost is controlled by controlling the position of vanes within turbocharger. A processor develops a control signal (29) for controlling vane position. The processor develops a value for desired boost and processes that value with a value. corresponding to the amount of boost being created by the turbocharger to generate error data (48A) defining error between the amount of boost being created by the turbocharger and the desired boost, and the processor develops a component of the control signal by P-LI-D processing (62) of the error data. Other components of the control signal are a feed-forward value from a look-up table (34) and a value from an overspeed protection function (60).

  • Patent number: 6398692
    Abstract: A diesel engine control system and method. A first data source provides data defining a current maximum limit for fueling the engine. A second data source provides data defining a torque request for the engine. A third data source providing data distinguishing between the occurrence and non-occurrence of a vehicle event, such as a traction- or transmission-related event, calling for change in value of maximum allowable engine torque from a preset value to a different value. When the third data source data indicates occurrence of a vehicle event calling for change in value of maximum allowable engine torque from the preset value to a different value, the data from the first data source and the data from the second data source are processes to develop data representing a value of maximum allowable engine torque different from the preset value.

  • Patent number: 6016459
    Abstract: An electronic control (18) for a combustion engine that forms a portion of an automotive vehicle powertrain and has an output shaft for powering a drivetrain portion (14, 16, 17, 19) of the powertrain to propel the vehicle. The control has at least one ambient parameter variable input source representing a respective ambient parameter (EOT, BAP, AIT, and MAP) useful in deriving gross torque output of the combustion engine. The control also has at least one operating variable input source (EFC, ACD, DIT.sub.-- ADJ) representing a respective operating parameter useful in deriving a reduction in gross torque output of the combustion engine due to operation of the combustion engine, and a processor for processing a respective signal correlated to the at least one ambient parameter variable input source and for processing a respective signal correlated to the at least one operating parameter variable input source to derive torque at the output shaft of the engine for powering the drivetrain to propel the vehicle.
