Abstract: A DC link capacitor coupled to positive and negative DC busses between a high voltage DC source and an electric vehicle inverter is quickly discharged during a shutdown. An active discharge circuit connected across the link capacitor has a discharge resistor in series with a discharge switch. The discharge switch has a control terminal for selectably turning the discharge switch on and off. A disable circuit is coupled to the control terminal and is responsive to a disable command signal to turn off the discharge switch. The disable circuit turns on the discharge switch upon cessation of the disable command signal. A timing circuit powered by a voltage from the link capacitor initiates a predetermined time interval upon cessation of the disable command signal, and continuously turns off the discharge switch after the predetermined time interval while the voltage from the link capacitor remains above a threshold.

Abstract: A hybrid electric vehicle includes a traction battery, traction motor and power inverter therebetween. The power inverter converts the DC power of the traction battery to AC power to drive each phase of the traction motor. The power inverter includes Insulated Gate Bipolar junction Transistors (IGBTs) to modulate the power to the traction motor. The speed at which the IGBTs are modulated impacts the system performance including power loss, voltage overshoot and current overshoot. Using a dual emitter IGBT to provide a current mirror of the drive current, circuitry may be used with the gate drive circuitry such that the gate drive speed may be dynamically adjusted based on characteristics including temperature and traction motor rotational speed.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, in a first storing system, a record corresponding to an account number ID is stored. In the record, a primary key is the account number ID, and a value is an account number mode and an account number name of the account number. The second storing system obtains the account number and the account number ID from the first storing system, determines whether the account number satisfies the preset reverse-searching condition. If yes, the second storing system generates and stores a record. In the record, a primary key is the account number mode and the account number name of the account number, and a value is the account number ID.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for detection of a ground fault on a DC side as well as on an AC side of an inverter are presented. A detection means can receive forward and reverse current and provide an induced current based on the difference between them.

In addition, a detection means can be configured to receive transient current, and a resulting voltage at the detection means can be used for fault detection. A detection means can be disposed at the DC side of an inverter or at the AC side of the inverter. Apparatus and methods can be configured to detect AC leakage current caused by a ground fault.

Abstract: A hybrid-electric vehicle and method of controlling a hybrid-vehicle is provided. The vehicle includes a traction battery, at least one electric-machine, and a controller. The controller is configured to alter a voltage between the battery and the electric-machine based on a measured voltage of the battery or the high voltage bus. In response to an indication that the measured voltage is faulty during a drive cycle, the controller instead alters the voltage between the battery and the electric machine based on a substituted battery voltage signal such that the electric-machine remains operable for the drive cycle.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), a LCD substrate and a LCD manufacturing method. The boundary of the substrate, to be coated with alignment liquid, is provided with a boss or a groove which is used to prevent the alignment liquid from diffusing. Because the substrate of the LCD is provided with the boss or groove for preventing the alignment liquid from diffusing, the boss can prevent the alignment liquid from diffusing, and the groove can absorb the diffused alignment liquid. As a result, the alignment liquid is prevented from forming nonuniform boundary on the substrate with surface section difference, and the uniform boundary is formed; furthermore, the boundary of the active area of the LCD further deflects to the alignment layer, and the range of the active area is expanded. Under the action of the blockage by the boss or groove, the boss or groove can deflect to the sealant area, i.e.
