Publication number: 20140207434Abstract: A method includes: indicating a first and second virtual models selected by a user; and generating a list including: a first set of names of object blocks that are in the first virtual model but that are not in the second virtual model; and a second set of names of object blocks that are in the second virtual model but that are not in the first virtual model. The method further includes: selectively displaying the first and second sets of names on a display; and, in response to user input to merge object blocks from the first virtual model to the second virtual model: copying the object blocks from the first virtual model to the second virtual model; and connecting the object blocks in the second virtual model based on connections between the object blocks in the first virtual model.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2013Publication date: July 24, 2014Applicant: GM Global Technology Operations LLCInventors: Ritesh Goyal, Onassis Matthews

Patent number: 8739049Abstract: A vehicle simulation system includes a compiler module, a parser module, a wrapper module, a modeling module, and a simulation module. The compiler module generates object code that is compatible with a first type of operating system based on source code that is executable by a vehicle control module and that is compatible with a second type of operating system. The parser module generates a definitions file and an extensible markup language (XML) file based on the source code and the object code. The wrapper module generates a library file based on the object code and the definitions file. The modeling module generates model-based source code for a virtual model based on the XML file and a user configuration of the virtual model. The simulation module simulates operation of a plant of a vehicle with the virtual model.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2010Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Inventors: Michael A. Kropinski, Minghui Kao, Gary Ferries, Hamid M. Esfahan, Wen-Chuan Lin, Michael A. Steele, Onassis Matthews

Patent number: 7159623Abstract: A method of estimating composition of fuel in the fuel tank of a vehicle. A refuel event is detected. Fuel consumption is monitored during a plurality of stages after the refuel event. A plurality of fuel trim shift values are determined relative to the stages. The fuel trim shift values are used to estimate a fuel composition change. This method eliminates a need for a hardware fuel composition sensor and also provides dynamic filtering of fuel trim values.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2005Date of Patent: January 9, 2007Assignee: General Motors CorporationInventors: Mark D. Carr, Joseph R. Dulzo, Christopher R. Graham, Richard B. Jess, Ian J. MacEwen, Onassis Matthews, Jeffrey A. Sell, Michael J. Svestka, Julian R. Verdejo

Patent number: 7069136Abstract: A cruise control system for a vehicle includes a throttle and a controller. The controller determines an open-loop speed compensation factor and calculates a closed-loop speed compensation factor. The controller determines a throttle area based on the open-loop speed compensation factor and the closed-loop speed compensation factor and operates the throttle based on the throttle area.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2003Date of Patent: June 27, 2006Assignee: General Motors CorporationInventors: Tameem K. Assaf, Joseph R. Dulzo, Onassis Matthews

Patent number: 6704638Abstract: An engine toque estimator according to the invention includes a vehicle data bus that provides a plurality of engine operating inputs including at least one of engine RPM, spark and a dilution estimate. A steady state torque estimator communicates with the vehicle data bus and generates a steady state engine torque signal. A measurement model communicates with the vehicle data bus and compensates for errors associated with engine-to-engine variation. A dynamic torque estimator communicates with at least one of the vehicle data bus, the measurement model, and the steady state torque estimator and generates an actual torque signal.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2002Date of Patent: March 9, 2004Assignee: General Motors CorporationInventors: Michael Livshiz, Joseph Robert Dulzo, Onassis Matthews, Donovan L. Dibble, Alfred E. Spitza, Jr., Scott Joseph Chynoweth
