Utility
Electrical energy management of heat transfer devices for vehicles
14 Mar 23
Energy management techniques for heating or cooling a surface of a component of a vehicle comprise determining a heating lag time indicative of a lag time for a surface element of the vehicle component to heat to a first target temperature in response to a power on-off or power off-on modulation of a heat transfer component, determining a cooling lag time indicative of a lag time for the surface element to cool to a second target temperature in response to a power on-off or power off-on modulation of the heat transfer component, and controlling power-on and power-off times of the heat transfer component based on the determined heating and cooling lag times so as to not require a temperature sensor for feedback-based temperature control.

Utility
System and method for malfuncton operation machine stability determination
21 Feb 23
A vehicle includes a controller area network (CAN) and a plurality of a controllers in communication with each other via the CAN, wherein each controller of the plurality of controllers is configured to time-stamp messages transmitted via the CAN using a vehicle-wide synchronized clock, determine a worst-case transmission delay via the CAN based on the time-stamps for messages received from other controllers of the plurality of controllers, and based on the worse-case transmission delay, set a dynamic recovery timer for a malfunctioning controller of the plurality of controllers to recover after its malfunction, wherein the dynamic recovery timer prevents a particular controller that was malfunctioning but has since recovered from being incorrectly designated as a malfunctioning controller in need of service.
