View page
US Patent:
6367447, Apr 9, 2002
Filed:
Feb 21, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/789881
Inventors:
Bruce John Palansky - Westland MI
Dennis Allen Light - Monroe MI
Michael John Cullen - Northville MI
Richard John Hippley - Canton MI
Assignee:
Ford Global Technologies, Inc. - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
F02D 4100
US Classification:
123361, 123399, 123435, 701110
Abstract:
A system and method for controlling a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine include determining a currently available maximum torque, determining a driver demanded torque based on a current accelerator pedal position and reference ambient conditions, and controlling the engine to deliver the lesser of the driver demanded torque corresponding to the reference ambient conditions and a calibratable percentage of the currently available maximum torque corresponding to the current ambient conditions. A similar torque is provided at high altitudes as that provided at sea level for a given low pedal position while smoothly blending into the currently available peak torque.

System And Method For Controlling An Automatic Transmission In A Vehicle

View page
US Patent:
7014592, Mar 21, 2006
Filed:
Nov 7, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/605945
Inventors:
Philip Wiethe - Ann Arbor MI, US
Charles Suter - South Lyon MI, US
Ken Sovel - Lake Havasu City AZ, US
Kurt Nickerson - Farmington MI, US
Bruce Palansky - Westland MI, US
Bradley Riedle - Northville MI, US
Assignee:
Ford Global Technologies, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
F16H 59/48
F16J 61/04
B60K 41/20
US Classification:
477120, 477148, 477 94
Abstract:
A method for controlling an automatic transmission in a vehicle is provided. The method selectively provides automatic engine braking for the vehicle. When it is determined that automatic engine braking is desired, the upshift schedule is increased, such that a higher vehicle speed is required to upshift for any given accelerator pedal position. The transmission is automatically downshifted to a lower gear to provide engine braking for the vehicle, when a vehicle acceleration threshold is exceeded. The automatic downshifting of the transmission can occur when the brake pedal is engaged, and when the brake pedal is disengaged.

View page
US Patent:
54605822, Oct 24, 1995
Filed:
Oct 13, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/135936
Inventors:
Bruce J. Palansky - Livonia MI
Pamela J. Eggers - Milan MI
Richard R. Hathaway - Plymouth MI
Earl R. Hoffman - Wixom MI
Assignee:
Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
F16H 6112
F16H 5968
US Classification:
477138
Abstract:
An automatic transmission having multiple-ratio gearing, fluid pressure-operated clutches and brakes adapted to establish and to disestablish multiple torque ratios and electronic shift control solenoids that can be energized and de-energized under the control of an electronic microprocessor that senses transmission operating variables, and a control strategy inherent in the microprocessor that uses predetermined failure modes to perform functional testing on the shift solenoids without special hydraulic and electronic hardware for developing the diagnostic information that detects shift solenoid failures or malfunctions.

Appl. No.:
6/927624
Inventors:
Thomas L. Greene - Plymouth MI
Bruce J. Palansky - Livonia MI
Assignee:
Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI
International Classification:

Automatic Transmission Electronic Gearshift Control Having Altitude Corrected Shift Criteria

View page
US Patent:
49439219, Jul 24, 1990
Filed:
Oct 24, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/261538
Inventors:
Paul A. Baltusis - Northville MI
Thomas L. Greene - Plymouth MI
Bruce J. Palansky - Livonia MI
Assignee:
Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
B60K 4118
G06F 1520
US Classification:
3644241
Abstract:
An electronic control system for scheduling gearshifts in a four speed automatic transmission includes storing in electronic memory accessible to a microprocessor, six functions relating vehicle speed to throttle position, one function being related to each upshift and downshift. Gearshifts are made by probing computer memory with current values for throttle position and vehicle speed, and determining on the basis of the stored shift schedule whether an upshift or downshift is required. Upshift points are determined also on the basis of the maximum engine speed when a wide open throttle condition is detected. Ambient barometric pressure alters the vehicle speed and engine speed attained at high altitude in comparison to those speeds that result for the same throttle position at sea level. Therefore, shift points defined by the schedule on the basis of vehicle speed and throttle position, and shift points relates to wide open throttle conditions and engine speed, are corrected for altitude or barometric pressure changes from a reference barometric pressure at which the shift points are determined for the functions stored in computer memory.
