Patents by Inventor John Raymond Schultz

John Raymond Schultz has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Real-time multiprocessing computer infrastructure for automated testing
    Publication number: 20020188654
    Abstract: A system and method for powertrain testing of a powertrain under load using a computer network includes a plurality of computer nodes for monitoring and adjustably controlling the powertrain and applied load for acquiring powertrain data relating to powertrain performance. A shared memory is connected to the plurality of computer nodes for receiving in real time the powertrain data generated by each of the plurality of computer nodes. An integrating computer node is connected to the shared memory for receiving in real time powertrain data and is arranged to send different commands to the plurality of computer nodes as part of a powertrain testing process. Further, the present invention allows for the powertrain testing of a powertrain in deterministic real time to develop the powertrain, as well as create a powertrain calibration.
