Patent number: 9097507Abstract: A non-contact shift lever position detector includes a housing, a gear position shift lever, a magnet, a plurality of magnetic sensors, and a processor. The gear position shift lever is disposed partially within the housing and is moveable to at least a first position, a second position, and a third position. The magnet is disposed within the housing, and is coupled to the gear position shift lever and is movable therewith. The magnetic sensors are fixedly disposed within the housing and each magnetic sensor is spaced apart from the magnet and is configured to supply an output voltage representative of its proximity to the magnet. The processor is coupled to receive the output voltage supplied from each of the magnetic sensors and is configured, upon receipt thereof, to determine when the gear position shift lever is in the first position, the second position, and the third position.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2013Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Shakil Moonamkandy, Girish Krishnaiah, Prerana Deepak Kapure

Patent number: 8967117Abstract: A throttle control assembly includes a cable lever, a switch assembly, a throttle control device, and a switch engagement surface. The cable lever is adapted for coupling to a throttle cable and is configured, upon receipt of a drive torque, to rotate. The switch assembly is coupled to the cable lever and includes a switch that is movable between a first position and a second position. The throttle control device has the switch engagement surface formed on a portion of its inner surface. The switch engagement surface is configured, upon rotation of the throttle control device, to selectively move the switch between the first position and the second position and selectively rotate the switch assembly to thereby supply the drive torque to the cable lever.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2012Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Niranjan Manjunath, Shakil Moonamkandy

Patent number: 7798122Abstract: A drive-by-wire throttle control apparatus and method includes a variable resistance sensor. A contact arm can be mechanically connected between a thumb lever and a variable resistance sensor. The variable resistance sensor possesses a resistive film that includes a fixed resistor and a variable resistor configured from a carbon film. As the thumb lever rotates, the contact arm traverses the resistive film, thereby altering the resistance of the variable resistor, determining the position of the thumb lever and thereafter generating a signal based on the sensed position. The signal can be sent to an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) in the form of a varying voltage, which in turn controls the throttle of a vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2008Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Anand Chandran, Al Cable, Bindu Philip, Rick Holzmacher, Gangl Rajula Reddy, Shakil Moonamkandy, Ravindra Gudi

Publication number: 20100182017Abstract: A drive-by-wire non-contact capacitive throttle control apparatus and method of forming the same. A capacitive position sensor is provided, which includes a stationary electrode and a rotatable electrode. The rotatable electrode can be attached to a throttle lever such that the rotatable electrode rotates as the throttle lever rotates. The capacitance between the rotatable electrode and the stationary electrode varies with the position of the throttle lever. The position of the throttle lever can be measured by measuring the capacitance between the electrodes and a signal can be generated based on the sensed position. The signal can be electrically transmitted to an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) utilizing one or more electrical wires. The signal can be sent in the form of a varying voltage, which in turn controls the throttle of a vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2009Publication date: July 22, 2010Inventors: Gangi Rajula Reddy, Anand Chandran, Al Cable, Richard Alan Holzmacher, Ravindra Gudi, Deepak Murali, Shakil Moonamkandy

Publication number: 20100038166Abstract: A drive by wire contactless throttle control which includes a contactless Hall-effect magnetic sensor. The Hall-effect magnetic sensor can be located in a mounting bracket in contactless association with a thumb lever on a handle bar. A magnet can be placed in a slot inside the thumb lever with a bonder and filled with an epoxy. The Hall-effect magnetic sensor senses the magnetic field produced by the magnet as the thumb lever rotates and determines position of the thumb lever and generates a signal based on the sensed position. The signal can be sent to an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) utilizing electrical wires in the form of varying voltage, which in turn controls throttle of a vehicle, such as an all terrain vehicle, snowmobile, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2008Publication date: February 18, 2010Inventors: Anand Chandran, Al Cable, Rick Holzmacher, Nurul Hasan, I, Shakil Moonamkandy, Gangi Rajula Reddy, Ravindra Gudi
