Appl. No.:

09/166253

Inventors:

Thomas Edward Brefeld - Dearborn MI

David Paul Kaminski - Warren MI

Assignee:

Ford Global Tech., Inc. - Dearborn MI

International Classification:

H02P 300

US Classification:

322 11

Abstract:

A motor vehicle charging system comprises a first alternator including a first power output and a discrete alternator enabling input, a second alternator including a second power output and an electronic controller having a switchable output. The switchable output is coupled to the alternator enabling input. A method for controlling a motor vehicle charging system having a first alternator, a second alternator and a source of switched system voltage having an ON state and an OFF state comprises providing continual enabling power to the first alternator whenever the source of system voltage is in the ON state. The method also includes providing switchable enabling power to the second alternator whenever the source of system voltage is in the ON state. Alternatively, the method for controlling a motor vehicle charging system comprises providing continual enabling power to the first alternator whenever the vehicles engine is running and providing switchable enabling power to the second alternator, also whenever the vehicles engine is running.

International Classification:

E21B 4900

US Classification:

7315223, 7386301, 7386383

Abstract:

The present invention provides a method for monitoring select purge water parameters and determining when the parameters have stabilized. The method includes the steps of selecting which parameters are to be monitored and selecting the time interval between which evaluation readings are performed. The time interval may be selected in set time increments from within a predetermined time range. With the passing of each interval, the results of the evaluation readings are stored in a memory device for at least one, and more preferably a plurality, of consecutive readings. If the readings do not fall within the defined stabilization ranges for the selected parameters, the oldest scan is deleted from the memory device. The comparison of the reading results is again performed with the start of the next interval, with the new reading results being compared to the two old reading results. When the selected parameter values do fall within the defined ranges for three consecutive readings, the operator is alerted that stabilization has been obtained.

US Classification:

340612, 340618, 340620, 73304 R, 73290 R, 16625003

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for monitoring the fluid level in a well bore to limit fluid drawdown in the well bore to a maximum set level. The user first determines the static water level in the well bore by lowering a sensor into the well bore. The sensor is configured to sense when it makes contact with water, so that the user can be made aware that the sensor has reached the static water level. The user then lowers the sensor to a maximum desired drawdown level. The sensor is then set to sense when it loses contact with the water. The sensor is then monitored to determine if the fluid had has dropped below the maximum desired drawdown level, and an audible and/or visual alarm alerts the user whenever the maximum desired drawdown level is exceeded.

Abstract:

A method for using a controller to control a fluid pump by controlling the rate at which the pump fills with fluid and subsequently discharges fluid. The pump includes a chamber for collecting fluid from within a well bore in which the pump is disposed. A user inputs a pump cycle time and a pump cycle volume to the controller. The pump cycle time input is used to determine a cycling period for the pump. The pump cycle volume is used to allot a portion of the cycling period to the refilling of the pump with fluid and the remaining portion of the cycling period to the discharging of fluid from the pump. The controller controls the pump such that the pump is vented to atmosphere during the refill portion, allowing the pump to fill with fluid, and such that pressurized fluid, such as compressed gas, is injected into the pump during the discharge cycle, causing fluid collected within the pump to be discharged. In another mode of operation, a sensor is coupled to the controller. The sensor sense when the water level in the well bore drops below a maximum desired drawdown level, and the controller adjusts the pumping rate to avoid exceeding the maximum drawdown level.

International Classification:

B60R 1604

US Classification:

180 685

Abstract:

An arrangement for heating and cooling a vehicle battery includes a thermal chamber shaped to hold the vehicle battery. The thermal chamber includes a floor and three walls and is positioned against a fender of the vehicle so that the fender forms a fourth wall of the chamber. The thermal chamber includes an inlet opening for receiving air and an outlet opening for expelling air. The inlet opening receives air from a first inlet duct which transports ambient air from outside of the engine compartment, and from a second inlet duct which transports air from an exhaust manifold of the engine. A temperature controlled damper directs air from either the first inlet duct or the second inlet duct into the inlet opening. An outlet duct transports air expelled through the outlet opening into the engine intake manifold. A filter positioned in the thermal chamber filters the air expelled through the outlet duct.

Abstract:

A vehicle may include a passive entry system that unlocks the vehicle upon authenticating a fob in a vicinity of the vehicle. The passive entry system further recognizes the vehicle is approaching a restrictive geographic location within which at least one proscribed item is prohibited, receives item data indicative of items located within the vehicle, and provides output indicating whether any of the items is a proscribed item for the restrictive geographic location.
