Patents by Inventor Scott Brandon Kanemori

Scott Brandon Kanemori 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: 10017164
    Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for brake load alleviation amongst at least one first brake and at least one second brake is disclosed. The method involves sensing an amount of brake pedal application in response to engagement of at least brake pedal. The method further involves determining whether the amount of brake pedal application is greater than a brake pedal application threshold value. Also, the method involves generating a brake application profile, when it is determined that the amount of brake pedal application is greater than the brake pedal application threshold value. The brake application profile indicates that actuation of at least one first brake is delayed by a first time delay, and that actuation of at least one second brake is delayed by a second time delay. Further, the method involves actuating at least one first brake and at least one second brake according to the brake application profile.

  • Patent number: 9914442
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system, method, and apparatus for distributing energy amongst at least one forward brake and at least one aft brake for a vehicle. The method involves determining, with at least one processor, an energy for at least one first brake and an energy for at least one second brake. Further, the method involves comparing, with at least one processor, the energy for at least one first brake with the energy for at least one second brake. Also, releasing at least one first brake, when at least one processor determines the energy of at least one first brake is greater than the energy for at least one second brake. Further, releasing at least one second brake, when at least one processor determines the energy of at least one second brake is greater than the energy for at least one first brake.
