Patents by Inventor Mark A. Osinski

Mark A. Osinski 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).

  • Throttle control for automated mechanical transmission
    Patent number: 5588935
    Abstract: An improved throttle control assembly (36) in combination with an electronic controller (48) for controlling shifting in an automated mechanical transmission system (10) having a non-electronically controlled engine (14) is provided. The combination of the throttle control assembly and the control allows the non-electronically controlled engine to be subject to throttle blip as well as throttle dip operations while preventing continuing unsafe conditions as a result of single point failures.
    Type: Grant

  • Torque converter slip rate-based torque converter lock-up strategy
    Patent number: 5507372
    Abstract: A torque converter lock-up clutch (26) control is provided which is adaptive to sensed torque demand across the torque converter (20) of a vehicular automated transmission system (12). Torque demand is, in one embodiment, sensed as a function of torque converter slip rate ((ES-IS)/(ES)), and torque converter lock-up is delayed upon sensed positive (ZNV ((ES-IS)/(ES)) torque converter slip rate.
