  • Patent number: 10550740
    Abstract: A multifunctional engine brake, comprising an engine valve motion transformation mechanism, a slow seating mechanism (250), and a timing oil control mechanism. By axially moving a roller (235) on a roller shaft (231), the connections between the roller (235) and different cams (230, 2302) are switched, so as to implement the transformation between different engine valve motions. A roller axial driving mechanism (100) is disposed in the roller shaft (231), thereby achieving a simple and compact structure, a symmetrical and reliable force, and easy manufacturing and assembling. The timing oil control mechanism provides timing oil supply or discharge for the engine brake, thereby eliminating the randomness of the opening or closing of a conventional engine brake, avoiding slipping and impact of the roller during roller translation, and improving the reliability and durability of the brake and engine.

  • Patent number: 10554588
    Abstract: In some implementations, a method includes analyzing an amount of data communicated by a set of network interfaces. The data communicated by the set of network interfaces is processed by a set of functional units and a set of queues includes the data communicated by the set of network interfaces. The method also includes activating a first functional unit of the set of functional units when a first size of a first queue of the set of queues is above a first threshold. The method further includes deactivating the first functional unit of the set of functional units when the first size of the first queue of the set of queues is below a second threshold. The method further includes causing the data to be forward to one or more active functional units via a data interconnect coupled to the set of network interfaces and the set of functional units.

  • Patent number: 9871476
    Abstract: A braking torque closed-loop control system and method for a switch reluctance motor. The closed-loop control system comprises a torque regulator, a mode selector, a current regulator, an angle optimization controller and a torque estimator. On the basis of the rotating speed of the motor, the mode selector implements a phase current soft chopper control in a low rotating speed region and an angle position control in a high rotating speed region. The current regulator performs soft chopper hysteretic current regulation. The angle optimization controller optimizes a turn-on angle and a turn-off angle of a power converter master switch to reduce torque pulsation and improve braking energy feedback efficiency. The torque estimator conducts an on-line estimation of an actual braking torque estimated value of the motor based on an actual phase voltage and current of the motor to achieve braking torque signal feedback.
