  • Publication number: 20220243812
    Abstract: A transmission system efficiently performs efficiently and also provides the ability to perform full-power shifts. For example, a secondary clutch actuator, independent of fluid actuation, may eliminate the need for a pump to continuously provide high pressure during regular vehicle operation such that high pressures are only required during a shift event. This eliminates the need for energy at the pump to maintain application of the clutch, thereby allowing such energy to be used of other systems in the EV or to facilitate increased vehicle range.

  • Publication number: 20220179720
    Abstract: A method for synchronizing messages between processors is provided. The method comprising receiving, by a first external device, inbound messages for applications running redundantly in high integrity mode on two or more multi-core processors. The inbound messages are synchronously copied to the multi-core processors. The multi-core processors send outbound messages to respective alignment queues in the first external device or a second external device, wherein the outbound messages contain calculation results from the inbound messages. The first or second external device compares the alignment queues. Matched outbound messages in the alignment queues are sent to a network or data bus. Any unmatched outbound messages in the alignment queues are discarded.

  • Publication number: 20220025940
    Abstract: Transmissions and clutch assemblies for transmissions are disclosed herein. A transmission includes an input shaft, an output shaft, and a clutch assembly. The input shaft is configured to receive rotational power. The output shaft is configured to transmit rotational power to a load. The clutch assembly is coupled between the input shaft and the output shaft to selectively transmit rotational power therebetween in use of the transmission. The clutch assembly includes a housing, a piston, and a disc spring. The piston is movable relative to the housing and cooperates with the housing to at least partially define a first cavity that is configured to receive hydraulic fluid such that a first centrifugal pressure force is created in use of the clutch assembly. The disc spring is movable relative to the housing.

  • Patent number: 11132268
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product synchronize a plurality of processes of one or more applications executed by a plurality of processors. In addition to the processors, the system includes a plurality of memories with each memory associated with a respective process and configured to maintain a local count representative of a message of the respective process with which the memory is associated and at least one remote count representative of a message of a corresponding process executed by another processor. The system also includes a reflector configured to reflect the local count of the respective process to a remote count of the corresponding process. For synchronization, a first process of a first application executed by a first processor is configured to enter a delay period if the local count and at least one remote count maintained by the memory associated with the first process fail to match.

  • Publication number: 20210180153
    Abstract: A method for refining lithium from a crude brine includes charging a crude brine into a feeder tank held at a temperature T1 and containing a sufficient carbonate source to precipitate all carbonate-forming solids in the crude brine to form a precipitate mixture and a crystal free supernatant; pumping the crystal free supernatant from the feeder tank to a first crystallization reactor that is held at a temperature T2 to crystallize a lithium carbonate salt out of the crystal free supernatant; wherein the temperature T1 is lower than the temperature T2; and controlling a flow rate to maintain a steady state concentration of the lithium carbonate salt in the solution phase of the crystallization reactor.
