  • Patent number: 11898483
    Abstract: A system includes a catalyst for receiving and treating exhaust gas generated by an engine, a passive NOx adsorber (PNA) positioned upstream of the catalyst, a bypass valve positioned upstream of the catalyst and the PNA, and a controller. The controller is configured to, determine that the catalyst is operating under cold start conditions, control the bypass valve to direct exhaust gas to the PNA, determine that the catalyst is no longer operating under cold start conditions and continue to control the bypass valve to direct exhaust gas to the PNA for a predetermined duration, and after the elapse of the predetermined duration, control the bypass valve to direct exhaust gas to the catalyst bypassing the PNA. The controller is also configured to detect a high transient torque demand while the exhaust gas is provided to the PNA, and split the torque demand between the engine and an electric motor.

  • Publication number: 20240034300
    Abstract: A method includes determining, by a controller, that a transient event for a hybrid vehicle is occurring; determining, by the controller, an increase of power demand for the hybrid vehicle based on the determined transient event; directing, by the controller, an amount of power from an electric motor of the hybrid vehicle to a powertrain of the hybrid vehicle based on the increase in power demand, the amount of power from the electric motor determined based on at least one of a state of charge of a battery of the hybrid vehicle; and increasing, by the controller, an amount of power from an engine of the hybrid vehicle as a power output from the electric motor decays to avoid an engine power output spike from the engine based on the determined increase in power demand.

  • Publication number: 20230311846
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a hybrid system. For example, a computer-implemented method includes determining a system temperature zone of the aftertreatment system as being in: a first temperature zone below a first temperature threshold, a second temperature zone from the first temperature threshold to a second temperature threshold, or a third temperature zone above the second temperature threshold; determining a power demand corresponding to the operation of the hybrid system as being in: a first power demand zone if the power demand is below a power threshold, or a second power demand zone if the power demand is equal to or greater than the power threshold; and determining a control strategy based at least in part on the determined system temperature zone and the determined power demand.

  • Patent number: 11763902
    Abstract: In certain aspects, a memory device includes a memory cell array having rows of memory cells, word lines respectively coupled to the rows of memory cells, and a peripheral circuit coupled to the memory cell array through the word lines. Each memory cell is configured to store a piece of N-bits data in one of 2N levels, where N is an integer greater than 1. The level corresponds to one of 2N pieces of N-bits data. The peripheral circuit is configured to program, in a first pass, a row of target memory cells, such that each target memory cell is programmed into one of K intermediate levels based on the corresponding piece of N-bits data, wherein 2N-1<K<2N. The peripheral circuit is also configured to program, in a second pass after the first pass, the row of target memory cells, such that each target memory cell is programmed into one of the 2N levels based on the corresponding piece of N-bits data.

  • Publication number: 20220371575
    Abstract: A hybrid vehicle comprises an engine, an energy storage device, and an aftertreatment system comprising a SCR catalyst configured to treat constituents of an exhaust gas. A controller is operatively coupled to the engine, the energy storage device, and the after treatment system, and configured to estimate an exhaust gas temperature and flow rate of the exhaust gas based on a set of engine operating parameters. The controller determines an exhaust gas cooling rate based on the exhaust gas temperature, flow rate, and a SCR catalyst temperature, and an ambient cooling rate based on an ambient temperature, a vehicle speed and the catalyst temperature. The controller determines a SCR catalyst temperature change rate based on the exhaust gas and ambient cooling rates, and adjusts a load distribution between the engine and the energy storage device based on the SCR catalyst temperature change rate.
