Patents by Inventor Pierpaolo De Filippi

Pierpaolo De Filippi 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).

  • Patent number: 9505366
    Abstract: A method for detecting accidents is described. The method has the following operating steps: obtaining at least two axial accelerations; integrating at least one first axial acceleration and one second axial acceleration of said at least two axial accelerations for obtaining at least two axial acceleration integral values; calculating an energy modulus according to the at least two axial acceleration integral values; and comparing the energy modulus with an energy threshold. An apparatus and a system which can carry out the method is also described. Furthermore, vehicles that have the apparatus are described as well.

  • Patent number: 9061560
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of controlling the stability of a two-wheeled vehicle including a first wheel associated with a first suspension and a second wheel associated with a second suspension. The method includes: detecting a signal representing the roll angle and detecting a signal representing the roll angular speed of the vehicle; detecting a signal representing the first force imposed on the first suspension; detecting a control signal representing the reference force to impose to the second suspension according to the signals representing the roll angle, of the roll angular speed and the first force. The present invention is also related to a system for controlling the stability of a two-wheeled vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20100299028
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a method for controlling an electronically adjustable steering damper in a two-wheeled vehicle or motor vehicle, and to an apparatus implementing it, in which the steering damper is able to exert a damping torque on a steering assembly (45) of the two-wheeled vehicle (40) that can be adjusted according to a steering speed (s{dot over (?)}). The control method comprises the steps that consist of determining at least one controlled variable (s{dot over (?)}, s{dot over (?)}) of the two-wheeled vehicle (40) and calculating an instantaneous damping coefficient (cin(t)) of the electronically adjustable steering damper based on the at least one controlled variable (s{dot over (?)}, s{dot over (?)}) and is characterized in that the at least one controlled variable comprises a yaw rate (s{dot over (?)}) of the two-wheeled vehicle.
