摘要： A power charging assembly and methods are provided to provide a pre-charge low-current state, a steady-state, high-current charging state, and an unconnect state for an electrical load of an electrical propulsion system in a hybrid electrical vehicle (HEV). The power charging assembly includes a positive contactor device, a negative contactor device, and a non-contactor device means. The rate at which that electrical load is pre-charged may be effectively controlled by using a pulse-width modulated (PWM) signal received by the non-contactor device means. A current-only carrying positive or negative contactor may be configured with the non-contactor device means to further prevent electrical arcing of the contacts of the positive and the negative contactor during power charging assembly operation.

摘要： A neural network IC 31 includes n dedicated processing elements (PEs) 62, an output register 66 for storing the PEs' outputs so that they are immediately accessible to all of the PEs, a number of output circuits 78 that are connected to selected PEs to provide binary outputs, and a timing circuit 74. Each of the PEs includes a weight memory 90 for storing input, output and bias weight arrays, a first in first out (FIFO) memory 88 for storing input data, a dot product circuit 92 and an activation circuit 94. The dot product circuit computes a dot product of the input weight array and the contents of the FIFO memory, a dot product of the output weight array and the contents of the output register, a dot product of the bias value and a constant, and sums the three results. The activation circuit maps the output of the dot product circuit through an activation function to produce the PE's output. The inclusion of a memory 90 that stores both input and output weight arrays in conjunction with the output register 66 allows the PEs to be configured to implement arbitrary feed-forward and recurrent neural network architectures.

摘要： A potential collision is predicted by comparing estimates of the time-to-brake (TTB) and the time-to-turn (TTT) of a host vehicle with a computed time-to-collision (TTC). The collision is deemed to be unavoidable when the smaller of TTB and TTT is greater than TTC. The TTT estimate is based in part on the lateral acceleration capability of the vehicle, and the lateral acceleration is initialized to a low value corresponding to its instantaneous capability, and is set incrementally higher than the actual lateral acceleration when the driver initiates evasive turning. The TTT and TTB estimates are increased by the time required to pre-charge the vehicle brakes so that brake pre-charging can be automatically initiated when required to optimize collision mitigation due to braking.

摘要翻译： 通过比较具有计算的碰撞时间（TTC）的主车辆的制动时间（TTB）和转弯时间（TTT）的估计来预测潜在的碰撞。 当TTB和TTT越小于TTC时，碰撞被认为是不可避免的。 TTT估计部分地基于车辆的横向加速能力，并且横向加速度被初始化为对应于其瞬时能力的低值，并且当驾驶员开始回避转弯时，其逐渐地设置为高于实际横向加速度。 TTT和TTB估计值增加预充车辆制动所需的时间，以便在需要时可以自动启动制动预充电，以优化制动造成的碰撞缓解。

摘要： An immobilizer monitors the ignition status of a motor vehicle, in a low power sleep mode or while performing other tasks, and is responsive to a change in ignition status between an off state and an on state to become active from the sleep mode or to interrupt the other tasks. If the change is to an on state, the immobilizer initiates ignition control module interrogation of an ignition control module to check for a valid key in the ignition, authorizes or prevents engine operation according to the result and returns to the sleep mode when finished. If the change is to the off state, the immobilizer again initiates ignition control module interrogation of the ignition control module to check for a valid key in the ignition and sets a key in status datum true or false according to the result. Either the immobilizer itself or a separate body computer responsive to the key in status datum provides a key in ignition warning when a key in status datum of true is detected simultaneously with an open driver door. When the key in status datum is set false, the immobilizer returns to sleep mode or its other tasks.
