    摘要: A method includes detecting that a wireless charging-capable vehicle is in a charging position proximate a primary coil of a wireless charging system that is operable to wirelessly charge the vehicle via a secondary coil installed in the vehicle. The primary coil includes a top coil and a bottom coil that are substantially parallel to one another, the top coil and the bottom coil coupled to one another via a plurality of cross-coil junction units each including a switching element that routes electric current through at least a portion of one or more of the top coil and the bottom coil. The method further includes setting the switching elements such that current flowing through the primary coil produces an optimal angle of magnetic flux for wirelessly charging the vehicle given a position of the primary coil with respect to a position of the secondary coil, and causing electric current to flow through the primary coil according to the set switching elements to wirelessly charge the vehicle.

    摘要: Methods and systems are described for engine idle speed optimization. A system may include determining whether a fuel intake rate indicative of an amount of fuel consumed by an idling engine over time satisfies a threshold in comparison to a reference fuel intake rate. The reference fuel intake rate may be indicative of a predetermined amount of fuel consumed by the idling engine over time. The system may adjust a predetermined minimum speed at which the engine idles in response to determining that the fuel intake rate satisfies the threshold.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a vehicle component, such as a wheel, for use in a vehicle-to-vehicle charging system. The charging system may include a coil disposed about a barrel of a wheel, and in electrical connection with the battery of the vehicle. The vehicle may be an electric vehicle, and may be an autonomous vehicle. Also disclosed are the charging system, and a method charging a vehicle wirelessly by another vehicle, wherein said charging is accomplished by at least one induction coil.
