Abstract: A vehicle includes a first wheel, a second wheel, and a controller. The first and second of wheels have first and second tires, respectively. The controller is programmed to receive inputs indicative of tire tread wear of the first and second wheels. The controller is further programmed to, in response to a command to adjust torques of the first and second wheels to first and second desired torque values, respectively, and a difference between a tire tread wear of the first wheel and a tire tread wear of the second wheel exceeding a threshold, adjust the torque of the first electric machine to less than the first desired torque value and adjust the torque of the second electric machine to greater than the second desired torque value.

Abstract: A control apparatus controls an inverter which outputs electric power to an electric motor. The control apparatus calculates a magnitude of a drive current at a one-pulse control time based on an electric motor drive torque, a rotation number of the electric motor, and a DC voltage of the electric motor and thereby determines which one of a one-pulse control and a pulse-width modulation control is employed as a control method of the inverter.

Abstract: A controller for a motor vehicle powertrain, the controller being configured to control the amount of torque generated by each of a plurality of drive torque sources in order to generate a net torque corresponding to a predetermined torque demand value, the predetermined torque demand value being determined at least in part by reference to a torque demand signal received by the controller, each drive torque source being coupled via a respective torque transfer arrangement to a respective group of one or more wheels, the controller being configured to cause at least one drive torque source to generate positive or negative torque in dependence on the predetermined torque demand value and to cause the drive torque source to undergo a torque reversal operation in which the direction of torque generated by the at least one drive torque sources changes from one direction to the other, the controller being configured wherein, during a torque reversal operation, the controller limits the rate of change of torque generated by the at least one of the plurality of drive torque sources as the amount of torque generated passes through zero and attempts to compensate for the reduction in rate of change of torque by a corresponding change in the amount of torque generated by one or more other of the plurality of drive torque sources.

Abstract: A method and system for calibrating a control profile of a controller having at least one output variable used to control the operation of a mobility device. The calibration system controls the mobility device according to a prescribed routine under a range of changes of values of the output variable. One or more sensors provided, either temporarily or permanently, on the mobility device sense operational parameters of the mobility device and send sensed data to the calibration system. The calibration system determines mobility device stability associated with the changes of the at least one output variable based on the sensed data and produces a control profile that restricts a controller from outputting changes of values of the output variable associated with mobility device instability.

Abstract: A power assist device for assisting a user to operate an object. The power assist device includes a pressure sensor that detects an operating force applied to the object by the user; a motor that outputs and applies a motive force to the object; and a controller. The controller records a history of the operating force detected by the pressure sensor; detects a periodically fluctuating component of the operating force based on the history of the operating force; calculates a component of a current operating force caused by motion of the user operating the object; calculates a correction value that excludes the component caused by motion of the user from the current operating force; calculates a power assist force based on the correction value; and outputs the power assist force as the motive force of the motor.
