Method Of Controlling Microvalve Actuator

View page
US Patent:
7156365, Jan 2, 2007
Filed:
Jul 27, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/899895
Inventors:
Edward Nelson Fuller - Manchester MI, US
Clark Lowman - Ann Arbor MI, US
Assignee:
Kelsey-Hayes Company - Livonia MI
International Classification:
F16K 31/02
US Classification:
25112904, 25112905
Abstract:
In a method of controlling an actuator of a microvalve, a controller is provided for supplying a voltage to the actuator. The controller provides an initial voltage to the actuator which is effective to actuate the microvalve. Then, the controller provides a pulsed voltage to the actuator which is effective to continue the actuation of the microvalve.

Position Sensor

US Patent:
45551200, Nov 26, 1985
Filed:
Oct 7, 1983
Appl. No.:
6/540083
Inventors:
John S. Frait - Ann Arbor MI
Clark E. Lowman - Ann Arbor MI
George W. Morris - Greenville SC
Leonard T. Tribe - Seal Beach CA
Assignee:
Kelsey-Hayes Co. - Romulus MI
International Classification:
B60G 1126
US Classification:
280 61
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a position sensor which can be utilized as a height sensor in an automatic vehicle suspension system. The sensor comprises a telescoping assembly including an elongate shaft having one end which is axially slidable within an outer housing. The telescoping assembly is connected between sprung and unsprung vehicle frame members. The outer ends of the shaft and the housing are each provided with a unique bifurcated socket unit and an associated retaining clip for attachment to a ball element connection point on the associated vehicle frame member. A pair of magnets are carried by the shaft and are adapted to generate a first magnetic field having one polarity and extending axially along a first portion of the shaft and a second magnetic field having an opposite polarity and extending axially along a second portion of the shaft. A pair of axially spaced apart Hall effect switches are carried by the housing and are responsive to the first and second magnetic fields along the shaft for generating logic signals representing the relative position between the movable vehicle frame members. A separate concentrator element is positioned adjacent each of the Hall effect switches for increasing the intensity of the magnetic field in the region of respective switch.

Electronic Brake Management System With A Signal Modulation Controller And A Brushless Motor

View page
US Patent:
62064827, Mar 27, 2001
Filed:
Nov 2, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/431866
Inventors:
Gregory P. Campau - Plymouth MI
Mark S. Luckevich - Ann Arbor MI
Edward R. Hornback - Dexter MI
John D. Cotner - Ypsilanti MI
Clark E. Lowman - Ann Arbor MI
Assignee:
Kelsey-Hayes Company - Livonia MI
International Classification:
B60T13/00
US Classification:
303 20
Abstract:
An electronic brake management system for controlling the application of fluid pressure to the brakes associated with wheels on a vehicle is disclosed. The system comprises a plurality of hydraulic valves for controlling the application of fluid to the brakes and a plurality of valve drivers for controlling the valves in accordance with respective electrical control signals for the plurality of valves. The system further includes a valve pulse width modulation controller for generating the respective electrical valve control signals applied to the valve drivers. The electrical valve control signals from the pulse width modulation controller are modulated to reduce the amount of electrical power supplied by the individual ones of the electrical signals once the valve associated with the one of the electrical signals has changed its opening to a desired position. The system further includes a brushless motor for driving a hydraulic pump for supplying fluid to the brakes in accordance with a pulse width modulated motor control signal from a motor signal modulation controller. The brushless motor provides a feedback signal to the motor signal modulation controller which is indicative of the position of the brushless motor rotor.

Structure For Mounting A Cluster Of Pressure Sensors Upon An Electro-Hydraulic Brake System Control Unit

View page
US Patent:
63120615, Nov 6, 2001
Filed:
Nov 24, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/448116
Inventors:
Paul M. Schliebe - Dexter MI
Charles Darnell - Ypsilanti MI
Edward R. Hornback - Dexter MI
Clark E. Lowman - Ann Arbor MI
Assignee:
Kelsey-Hayes Company - Livonia MI
International Classification:
B16T 1366
US Classification:
303 20
Abstract:
A plurality of pressure sensors are carried in housing mounted upon a hydraulic control valve for an electro-hydraulic brake system. The pressure sensors are electrically connected to a signal conditioning circuit which also is mounted upon the hydraulic control valve. The signal conditioning circuit samples the sensors and mulitplexes the sensor signals into a single output signal.
