Increasing Current And Voltage Sensor Accuracy And Resolution In Electric And Hybrid Electric Vehicles
view source
US Patent:

20040260491, Dec 23, 2004
Filed:

Jun 17, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/463110
Inventors:

Edward Tate - Grand Blanc MI, US
International Classification:

G06F019/00
US Classification:

702/064000
Abstract:

A method for estimating an electrical measurement, such as a current or a voltage, comprises generating an analog electrical measurement signal using a sensor. An analog filter filters the analog electrical measurement signal. An A/D converter samples the analog signal and generates a digital electrical measurement signal. A matrix is formed based on the characteristics of the analog filter. An estimated actual current or voltage is calculated based on a relationship between the digital signal and the matrix.

US Patent:

20050046388, Mar 3, 2005
Filed:

Aug 28, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/650933
Inventors:

Edward Tate - Grand Blanc MI, US
Mark Verbrugge - Troy MI, US
International Classification:

H02J007/00
US Classification:

320132000
Abstract:

A state of charge estimator for a battery includes a meter that generates a terminal voltage signal of the battery and a terminal current signal of the battery. A controller employs a linearized model of the battery and a time-varying state estimator. The controller process a synthesized input based on the terminal current and the terminal voltage to estimate the battery state of charge.

US Patent:

20050057255, Mar 17, 2005
Filed:

Sep 17, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/664287
Inventors:

Edward Tate - Grand Blanc MI, US
Mark Verbrugge - Troy MI, US
Brian Koch - Berkley MI, US
Damon Frisch - Troy MI, US
International Classification:

G01N027/416
US Classification:

324426000
Abstract:

A method of estimating a state of charge (SOC) and a state of health (SOH) of an electrochemical cell (EC) includes modeling the EC with a linear equation, measuring a terminal current of the EC, measuring a terminal voltage of the EC and measuring a temperature of the EC. The linear equation is processed through a time-varying state and parameter estimator based on the terminal current, the terminal voltage and the temperature to determine states and parameters of the EC.

US Patent:

20060155541, Jul 13, 2006
Filed:

Jan 7, 2005
Appl. No.:

11/031363
Inventors:

Edward Tate - Grand Blanc MI, US
International Classification:

G10L 15/14
US Classification:

704256300
Abstract:

A method of modeling a cycle of a vehicle parameter includes generating a plurality of training sets and partially classifying elements of each training set based on a present value of the vehicle parameter and a subsequent change in the vehicle parameter. The method further includes reducing the plurality of training sets to a corresponding plurality of parameter sets based on the elements and defining a plurality of statistical groups of the parameter sets based on a value and a history of that value.

US Patent:

20070136040, Jun 14, 2007
Filed:

Dec 14, 2005
Appl. No.:

11/302675
Inventors:

Edward Tate - Grand Blanc MI, US
International Classification:

G06G 7/48
US Classification:

703008000, 434365000
Abstract:

The present invention relates to a method of determining the probability that a statistical model describes the driving style or usage of a vehicle observed. By identifying an appropriate statistical model, the driving style can be detected and vehicle operation can be optimized. The method may be applied to both hybrid and non-hybrid vehicles. The method may also be augmented to determine the most probable statistical model of the usage of the vehicle. This allows detection of driving styles that can be classified as urban, highway, aggressive, etc. For example, the augmented method can be used to distinguish between highway and urban driving with a very high certainty.

US Patent:

20020196027, Dec 26, 2002
Filed:

Jun 26, 2001
Appl. No.:

09/891878
Inventors:

Edward Tate - Grand Blanc MI, US
Mark Verbrugge - Troy MI, US
Shawn Sarbacker - Royal Oak MI, US
International Classification:

G01N027/416
US Classification:

324/430000
Abstract:

A method and apparatus for improving estimation of battery impedance when determining the state of charge of a battery including injecting a wide spectrum signal continuously across a battery when the battery is in generator mode. Additionally, the wide spectrum signal may be injected across an alternator of a conventional internal combustion engine to improve estimation of battery impedance and subsequent state of charge the battery.
