Roll Arming Sensor

View page
US Patent:
6723979, Apr 20, 2004
Filed:
Feb 27, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/793452
Inventors:
John L. Kastura - Kokomo IN
Assignee:
Delphi Technologies, Inc - Troy MI
International Classification:
G01D 534
US Classification:
2502311, 3336623, 7351419
Abstract:
A roll arming sensor is provided for determining an arming signal for use on a vehicle for rollover detection. The roll arming sensor includes a light source for generating a light beam and a receiver for detecting the light beam. Disposed substantially horizontal between the light source and receiver are first and second cylindrical members, both oriented substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The first and second cylindrical members each have a window extending therethrough for passing the light beam during normal vehicle travel. Each of the first and second cylindrical members are movable to a second position upon experiencing an armed condition, such as a roll event, to prevent the optical beam from passing to the receiver, thereby generating an arming signal for use with a rollover sensor.

Motor Vehicle Diagnostic And Monitoring Device Having Keep Alive Memory

View page
US Patent:
42714028, Jun 2, 1981
Filed:
Aug 29, 1979
Appl. No.:
6/070885
Inventors:
John L. Kastura - Kokomo IN
William R. Stewart - Kokomo IN
Assignee:
General Motors Corporation - Detroit MI
International Classification:
G06F 1130
G06F 1520
G08B 2100
US Classification:
340 52F
Abstract:
A diagnostic and warning system for a motor vehicle monitors the condition of a number of preselected parameters. When the condition of the parameters is representative of a fault condition, the system energizes a malfunction light in the vehicle compartment during the period of the detected fault. The particular fault detected is stored in a nonvolatile memory where it is stored independent of the subsequent condition of the respective parameter. The stored fault conditions may thereafter be read from memory to provide an indication of the malfunctions that have occurred in response to a diagnostic interrogation signal. The fault conditions stored in the nonvolatile memory are erased when a predetermined time period has lapsed since the occurrence of a detected fault condition so that old nonrecurring self-correcting faults are not retained in memory and accordingly not indicated in response to a diagnostic interrogation signal.

Spark Timing Control System

View page
US Patent:
44293658, Jan 31, 1984
Filed:
Aug 10, 1981
Appl. No.:
6/291614
Inventors:
James E. Luckman - Anderson IN
John L. Kastura - Kokomo IN
Thomas L. Voreis - Windfall IN
Assignee:
General Motors Corporation - Detroit MI
International Classification:
G05B 1500
F02P 500
US Classification:
36443108
Abstract:
A spark timing control system for an uneven firing engine utilizes a microprogrammed engine controller which produces a spark timing control system based on internal calculations using spark advance and dwell variables supplied by a microcomputer. A crankshaft position transducer produces a reference signal having alternate long and short pulses from which the firing cycle may be determined. The microcomputer is interrupted at each falling edge of the reference signal and based on a determination of the existing firing cycle, calculates and supplies appropriate spark advance and dwell numbers to the controller.

Motor Vehicle Diagnostic And Monitoring System

View page
US Patent:
42777720, Jul 7, 1981
Filed:
Jun 17, 1980
Appl. No.:
6/160152
Inventors:
John L. Kastura - Kokomo IN
David O. Enyart - Kokomo IN
Assignee:
General Motors Corporation - Detroit MI
International Classification:
G08B 1900
US Classification:
340 52F
Abstract:
A diagnostic and warning system for a motor vehicle monitors the condition of a number of preselected parameters. When the condition of a parameter is representative of a fault condition, the system energizes a malfunction lamp in the vehicle compartment during the period of the detected fault and the particular fault detected is stored in a nonvolatile memory. A single counter is employed which functions to filter intermittent malfunctions for each of the monitored parameters and which imposes a minimum time duration for energization of the malfunction lamp.

Electronic Ignition System

View page
US Patent:
43513069, Sep 28, 1982
Filed:
May 26, 1981
Appl. No.:
6/267269
Inventors:
James E. Luckman - Anderson IN
William P. Winstead - Alexandria IN
John L. Kastura - Kokomo IN
Assignee:
General Motors Corporation - Detroit MI
International Classification:
F02P 304
US Classification:
123609
Abstract:
The values of dwell and ignition timing signals from which ignition dwell and spark timing are provided are controlled to minimize power dissipation in an electronic ignition system and to ensure that adequate dwell times are provided during engine acceleration conditions and large advance angle increases. The dwell signal is increased from a static dwell value during steady state engine operation to a higher value in response to sensed engine accelerating conditions and the change in the spark advance between ignition events is limited to ensure that an adequate dwell period is provided.

Sample And Hold Method And Apparatus For Sensing Inductive Load Current

View page
US Patent:
55236766, Jun 4, 1996
Filed:
Mar 31, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/220654
Inventors:
James C. Bach - Carmel IN
John L. Kastura - Kokomo IN
Assignee:
Delco Electronics Corp. - Kokomo IN
International Classification:
G01R 1904
US Classification:
324103P
Abstract:
An inductive load energized by a variable duty cycle pulse signal contains ripple at steady state conditions, and the average current is used as feedback to a controller. The average current is obtained without filtering by synchronously sampling the local maxima and minima of the current and averaging the last two samples. The maxima and minima are detected by sampling at the falling and rising edges of the pulse signal. The method is implemented by software in a microprocessor or by hardware comprising a pulse generator, sample and hold circuits, and an averager. The resulting average value is then asynchronously sampled by a microprocessor.
