Patent number: 9000901Abstract: A method of controlling the operation of a door of a vehicle relative to a door frame of the vehicle is provided. The position of the door is sensed and a door open command or a door close command is received. Opening or closing of the door at preselected speeds is initiated based on the command received. The length of time that the open command or close command is continuously received is then determined. The door is moved at a relatively slow speed for a predetermined initial time period and after the predetermined initial time period has ended the door is moved at a relatively faster speed.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2013Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignee: Control Solutions LLCInventors: Michael McKee, Nick Scholtes, John Hayden

Publication number: 20150065299Abstract: A control system to generate a yaw torque of an all-wheel drive vehicle comprises a brake control module 18. The brake control module 18 determines the desired powertrain torque 44 for the vehicle 10 based upon a plurality of factors including available torque from the powertrain. The brake control module 18 determines a first torque 44 and a second torque 26, wherein the first torque 44 and the second torque 26 are combined to provide the total desired yaw torque 49 of the vehicle 10. The first torque 44 is generated between wheels of the vehicle 10 by applying torque 44 from the powertrain 14 to different wheels 21 of the vehicle 10 and the second torque 26 is generated by applying different braking torque from a braking system 16 of the vehicle 10.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2014Publication date: March 5, 2015Inventors: Daniel Gregory Goodrich, Adam Roger Pagot, Matthew Conrad Tuhro, Vesa Vihelm Luomaranta, Ryan Wayne Alaspa, Timothy John Hayden

Patent number: 8407448Abstract: This invention is a system and a method for performing an I/O in a virtual data storage environment using a new architecture. The system of performing an I/O includes a mapping client integrated into a client of the storage server which in communication with the mapping server included in the storage server retrieves the mapping of the special data sharing storage objects and caches the shared objects in the data cache include in the client environment. The method of accessing the data sharing storage objects by one or more applications running on a client reduces the number of I/O on the storage objects by caching the storage objects in the data cache and bringing the knowledge of data sharing into the client environment.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2008Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: John Hayden, Xiaoye Jiang

Patent number: 8373550Abstract: A controller for a door system and an associated method of operation for actuating a door. The controller may be electrically coupled with a motor, an outer door switch and an inner door switch. The controller, activates a motor assist and may maintain a desirable current supply to the motor assist. Determining a relative position of the door and determining whether movement of the door is obstructed is performed. The controller actuates the door to an appropriate position and determines whether door operation exceeds a maximum time threshold. The controller may be configured to deactivate the motor assist once the door reaches an appropriate position or the door operation exceeds the maximum time threshold.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2008Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: Control Solutions LLCInventors: Michael McKee, Nick Scholtes, John Hayden

Patent number: 8301602Abstract: Described are techniques for correcting at least some inconsistencies in a file system accessed by at least one client, while maintaining the file system online. A file system checking utility is executed on the file system to detect and create corrections for inconsistencies in the file system. The file system is updated to include at least some corrections. Also described is a computer system comprising a file system accessed by a client. A file system checking utility is executed on the file system to detect at least some inconsistencies in the file system, and to create a corrected version of the file system that includes corrections to correct for at least some of the detected inconsistencies. A report is created. The file system is not updated with the corrected version unless the proposed corrections are approved. The file system checking utility may be periodically scheduled for execution.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2008Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: Xiaoye Jiang, Ajay Potnis, Mrinalini Chavan, Sairam Iyer, John Hayden

Patent number: 8145947Abstract: An apparatus and method are described for defining, maintaining and displaying a checkpoint result set to facilitate identification of desirable checkpoints during system recovery. The checkpoint result set may be mapped to a user-customizable namespace. The user customizes the namespace by selecting one or more characteristics of desirable file system checkpoints. Being able to customize the namespace in this manner enables the user to be provided a more streamlined checkpoint result set in the event of data corruption. As a result an appropriate checkpoint can be more quickly selected for use in recovery.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2006Date of Patent: March 27, 2012Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: John Hayden, Hongliang Tang
