Abstract: A vent assembly is disposed within an interior space of a vehicle for opening and closing fluid communication between the interior space and an exterior of the vehicle. The vent assembly includes a housing defining a plurality of openings and a plurality of vanes disposed in the openings. An actuator mechanism moves the vanes between an open position and a closed position, and includes a shaped memory alloy (SMA) member for actuating the vanes between the open and closed positions. The SMA member is activated when a hatch of the vehicle is opened to move the vanes into the open position and thereby open fluid communication between the interior space and the exterior to alleviate excessive air pressure buildup during closure of the hatch.

Abstract: An energy transfer system includes a conversion device configured for partial power processing and configured to regulate current from a first battery system, and a controller configured to control the conversion device to adjust a first voltage of the first battery system to conform the first voltage to a second voltage of a second battery system, the second battery system connected in parallel with the first battery system by a bus. The conversion device is configured to receive power from the first battery system, cause a selected portion of the power to flow through a conversion stage to adjust the first voltage, the selected portion corresponding to a difference between the first voltage and the second voltage, cause a remaining portion of the power to flow directly to the bus and bypass the conversion stage, and output a current from the conversion device at the second voltage.

Abstract: A method of making an electric conductor having a conductive skin layer. The method comprises providing a conductive member having a first width and a conductive layer disposed thereon for conductivity. The conductive layer has a second width to define a width ratio of the first width to the second width of 4:1 to 200:1. The conductive layer has greater conductivity than the conductive member. The method comprises disposing the conductive layer about the conductive member to define a conductive layered member and pressing the conductive layered member for mechanical contact to define a pressed layered member. The method comprises thermally treating the pressed layered member for diffusion between the conductive layer and the conductive member defining a diffused layered member. The method further comprises cooling the diffused layered member for diffusion bonding free of an intermetallic phase between the conductive layer and the conductive member.

Abstract: A power control system comprises a battery system including N battery packs. A plurality of contactors selectively connects N battery packs of a battery system in a first configuration supplying a first voltage level, a second configuration supplying a second voltage level, and a disconnected configuration. M power inverters connect the battery system to M electric machines, respectively. A controller is configured to determine when to transition between the first configuration and the second configuration. The controller is configured to transition between the first configuration and the second configuration by causing one of a positive torque transient and a negative torque transient to be generated by at least one of the M electric machines, transitioning the battery system from one of the first configuration and the second configuration to the disconnected configuration, and transitioning from the disconnected configuration to the other one of the first configuration and the second configuration.

Abstract: A motor drive system of a vehicle includes: an inverter that receives power from a power source via a bus, where the inverter is connected to a motor of the vehicle; a driver that drives the inverter; a filter that filters a current signal received from the bus to generate a filtered signal; and a control module that operates in an impedance determination mode. The impedance determination mode includes: based on the filtered signal, controlling the driver and the inverter to generate a pulsed signal applied to the power source; determining a current level and a voltage of the power source due to generation of the pulsed signal, and determining impedance based on the current level and the voltage. The control modules are configured to: determine a characterization parameter of the power source based on the impedance; and perform a control operation or a countermeasure based on the characterization parameter.
