Patent number: 11568686Abstract: Systems and methods for waking a controller from a sleep mode are described. In one example, the controller may be woke in response to an estimated amount of time that it will take for a temperature in an evaporative emissions system to be within a threshold temperature of ambient temperature.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2020Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Robert Jentz, Sanyam Sharma, Matthew Carpenter, Aed Dudar

Patent number: 11306631Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for assessing a state of a vent hose that fluidically couples a crankcase of an engine to an engine air intake system. In one example, a method may include sealing the crankcase from the vent hose, initiating cranking of the engine, monitoring a series of pressure pulsations during a monitoring window duration via a pressure sensor positioned between a crankcase oil separator and the vent hose, and indicating a presence of degradation associated with the vent hose based on the series of pressure pulsations and the monitoring window duration. In this way, diagnosis of a state of the vent hose may be reliably assessed without crankcase pressures confounding pressure measurements as recorded via the pressure sensor.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2020Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Robert Roy Jentz, Matthew Carpenter, Michael Stephen Sweppy, Adam Joseph Krach

Patent number: 11220939Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for monitoring a crankcase ventilation system. In one example, a method may include diagnosing a breach in a crankcase vent tube based on a regression of measurements of pressure in the crankcase vent tube. The regression allows the pressure measurements to be extended across an entire range of operating air flows and the breach may be identified by comparing the regressed pressure measurements to expected crankcase vent tube pressures.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2020Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Robert Jentz, Matthew Carpenter, Dennis Blanchard, Michael Sweppy

Patent number: 11197974Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that provide respiration entrainment cues to a user to encourage relaxation or a sleep state. The entrainment cues may be audible, visible, or tactile (or any combination). The entrainment cues include a rhythmic component associated with a target respiration rate and may include sub-components associated with a target breath architecture, such as an inhale-exhale cycle. The systems and methods detect the user's respiration to determine whether the user's respiration matches the entrainment cues or whether the user has fallen asleep.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2018Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: BOSE CORPORATIONInventors: Kathleen E. Kremer, Steven Carl Pletcher, Matthew Carpenter, Danielle Hicks, Marc Labbe, Brian David Mulcahey

Publication number: 20200400050Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for diagnosing a positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system. In one example, a PCV system diagnostic method is provided that includes a determining a fault condition in a positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system by comparing a pressure sampled from a pressure sensor positioned on a clean side of an oil separator coupled to a crankcase with a modeled pressure representing an expected pressure on the clean side of the oil separator.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2019Publication date: December 24, 2020Inventors: Robert Roy Jentz, Matthew Carpenter, Michael Stephen Sweppy

Patent number: 10767590Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for diagnosing a positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system. In one example, a diagnostic method for a PCV system is provided that includes, when an intake manifold air pressure is above a threshold boost value, determining a PCV system breach based on a pressure determined using a pressure sensor positioned on a clean side of an oil separator coupled to a crankcase and receiving crankcase gas from the crankcase. In the PCV system a ventilation line provides fluidic communication between the oil separator and an intake conduit upstream of a compressor.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2019Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Robert Roy Jentz, Matthew Carpenter, Michael Stephen Sweppy

Publication number: 20070101432Abstract: Environmental risk levels are leveraged to provide dynamic, user-tailorable, actions to detect network compliance and/or to remediate via manual and/or automatic means to bring the network into compliance given the risk level. The risk levels can be based on a combination of business, security, and operation factors and the like. Potentially different remediation steps can be performed on a network-wide basis and/or on individual items of the network based on a current level of environmental risk. Instances can include a management console that can provide a centralized point of administration that allows an organization to review a state of compliance with a security policy across a network environment and/or select a current level of risk which can drive a configuration management engine appropriately. The configuration management engine can utilize existing components to facilitate in detection and/or remediation of the computer network.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2005Publication date: May 3, 2007Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventor: Matthew Carpenter
