Patent number: 11964692Abstract: A vehicle hitching assistance system includes a controller executing an initial alignment process including searching for a trailer within a specified area of image data that is less than a total field of the image data in directions corresponding with both a longitudinal distance between the vehicle and the trailer and a lateral direction perpendicular to the longitudinal distance, presenting an indication to a driver of the vehicle to reposition the vehicle when the trailer is not identified within the specified area, and removing the indication when the trailer is identified within the specified area. The controller further executes an automated backing process upon identifying the trailer within the specified area, including identifying a coupler of the trailer and outputting a steering signal to the vehicle to cause the vehicle to steer to align a hitch ball of the vehicle with the coupler of the trailer during reversing.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Luke Niewiadomski, Douglas Rogan, Shannon Brooks-Lehnert, Chen Zhang, Roger Arnold Trombley, Peter Ling, Kenneth Michael Mayer, Seyed Armin Raeis Hosseiny, Bo Bao, Steven Wayne Friedlander

Publication number: 20190280849Abstract: Clock data recovery broadcast for multi-lane SerDes is disclosed. In some implementations, a serial input/output (I/O) interface includes a master lane and a plurality of slave lanes to receive serial incoming data. The master lane has a master clock and data recovery (CDR) module to generate master data sample clock control signals. The master data sample clock control signals can be broadcasted to the slave lanes. Furthermore, each of the plurality of slave lanes having a slave CDR module. The slave CDR module can include a clock edge tracking module to generate local data sample clock control signals, and a multiplexer to select the master data sample clock control signals or local data sample clock control signals to apply in the respective slave lane in response to a signal from a CDR controller indicative of a low power mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2018Publication date: September 12, 2019Inventors: Brian Joel SCHUH, Michael TROMBLEY, Carrie Ellen COX, Robert Michael BUNCE

Publication number: 20190087351Abstract: According to various aspects, a memory management unit (MMU) having multiple parallel translation machines may collect transactions in an incoming transaction stream and select appropriate transactions to dispatch to the parallel translation machines. For example, the MMU may include a dispatcher that can identify different transactions that belong to the same address set (e.g., have the same address translation) and dispatch one transaction from each transaction set to an individual translation machine. As such, the dispatcher may be used to ensure that multiple parallel translation machines do not perform identical memory translations, as other transactions that share the same address translation may obtain the translation results from a translation lookaside buffer.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2018Publication date: March 21, 2019Inventors: Sadayan Ghows Ghani Sadayan Ebramsah Mo ABDUL, Piyush PATEL, Michael TROMBLEY, Rakesh ANIGUNDI, Jason NORMAN, Aaron SEYFRIED

Patent number: 10109932Abstract: The present disclosure provides electrical clamps that can easily attach to a variety of shaped objects, such as fence posts and other objects for the purpose of establishing an electrical connection or conductive path between the electrical clamp, an object the electrical clamp is secured to, and a conductor attached to the electrical clamp. The electrical clamp utilizes an adjustable saddle construction that can be secured to the geometry of objects, such as a square, rectangular, round or oval geometry of the object, and a clamp cap construction that can electrically couple one or more conductors to the electrical clamp.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2017Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventors: Logan Michael Trombley, Brian McCulloh White, Richard Ernest Robicheau
