Patent number: 11940353Abstract: A test device for an automatic pressure regulating valve of an electronic braking system includes a test device composed of an air supply, a pneumatic circuit, a valve, a sensor, a signal processing unit, and a control unit. By subjecting an automatic pressure regulating valve to a bench test including a functional test, a static performance test, a dynamic performance test, an air tightness test, a leakage test, and a brake chamber braking force test, the present disclosure avoids the high risk of a field test, improves the test efficiency, and ensures the test consistency. An automatic pressure regulating valve is tested before being loaded on a vehicle, and parameters of the automatic pressure regulating valve are continuously modified through tests to improve the performance, such that the automatic pressure regulating valve can meet the real-time, fast, independent, and accurate regulation requirements of EBS of commercial vehicles.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Wuhan University Of TechnologyInventors: Gangyan Li, Hanwei Bao, Jian Hu, Zhiqiang Gu, Fang Yang

Publication number: 20230018533Abstract: An automatic pressure regulating valve for multiple levels of driving automation of a commercial vehicle includes an upper valve body, a lower valve body, a piston, a main valve core assembly, a switching valve, a quick-acting intake valve, and a quick-acting exhaust valve. The switching valve, the quick-acting intake valve and the quick-acting exhaust valve are all mounted at an upper end of the upper valve body. The piston is located in a chamber formed by the upper valve body and the lower valve body to divide the chamber into an upper control chamber and a lower chamber. The main valve core assembly is mounted in the lower valve body. The automatic pressure regulating valve is applicable to a commercial vehicle allowing for multiple levels of driving automation.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Applicant: Wuhan University Of TechnologyInventors: Gangyan LI, Hanwei BAO, Jian HU, Zhiqiang GU, Fang YANG

Patent number: 10545604Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for determining the amounts of force applied by at least two fingers of a user to a touch input device having a touch input surface. In one example, a system may include a plurality of force sensors distributed about the touch input surface; a plurality of touch sensors distributed about the touch input surface; and a module for apportioning a first amount of force as measured by the plurality of force sensors to one of the at least two fingers, and for apportioning a second amount of force as measured by the plurality of force sensors to another of the at least two fingers. The system may also include a persistent data structure including force calibration data with force deflection measurement values as measured by each of the plurality of force sensors in response to a standardized force applied to various known locations on the touch input surface. The system may also include one or more matched filter modules.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2014Date of Patent: January 28, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Alex Bijamov, Wayne C.

Publication number: 20180018412Abstract: A method includes modeling a fluid flow network, the fluid flow network having a surface pipeline network connected between a plurality of well perforation nodes and a common outlet or inlet. The method also includes generating a plurality of two-phase envelopes for the modeled fluid flow network, where each two-phase envelope has at least some interpolated values and corresponds to a section of the modeled fluid flow network with a constant flow composition. The method also includes determining phase equilibrium information for the modeled fluid flow network based on the generated two-phase envelopes. The method also includes applying the determined phase equilibrium information to production or simulation related to the fluid flow network.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2015Publication date: January 18, 2018Applicant: Landmark Graphics CorporationInventors: Zhiqiang GU, Terry Wong

Patent number: 9652040Abstract: An electronic device may generate a canceling component that reduces or eliminates the unforced response for a base waveform applied to a component haptic output device of the electronic device. The electronic device may create a sculpted waveform that has no or reduced unforced response and may store the created sculpted waveform. The electronic device may apply the sculpted waveform to the component haptic output device. In one embodiment, a space of at least possible parameters may be defined. Canceling component corresponding to points in the space may be iteratively tested. A heat map may be generated based on the unforced response cancellation or elimination of the canceling components corresponding to the points. Based at least on the heat map, a canceling component may be selected. A sculpted waveform may then be generated by combining the base waveform with the canceling component.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2013Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Melisa Orta Martinez, Wayne C.
