Patent EP-1225362-A2 (EP)
Inventor: STEEBY JOHN ALLEN
IPC: F16D48/02
Filed: 2002-01-14
Abstract: An automatic clutch control method and system includes steps for controlling
a vehicle master clutch to prevent the clutch from destructively overheating due to
excessive slipping. A heat buildup value is determined from various engine operating
parameters, such as output torque, engine speed, and input shaft speed. The heat
buildup value can be increased or decreased depending on the various engine
operating parameters. A signal generating device is responsive to the heat buildup
value exceeding a first predetermined heat buildup limit to generate a clutch
protection output signal effective to cause the clutch to be operated in an aggressive
mode of operation to fully engage the clutch at a faster rate. The signal generating
device is also response to the heat build value exceeding a second predetermined heat
buildup limit and slow vehicle speed to generate a clutch protection output signal
effective to cause the clutch to be operated in a fully disengaged mode of operation.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de réguler le taux d'accroissement de la température d'un dispositif de communication pendant que ce dernier transmet des données. Le dispositif de communication transmet les données à un second dispositif de communication à un débit prédéterminé. Ce procédé consiste à surveiller la température du dispositif de communication pendant de ce dernier transmet les données au second dispositif de communication avec le débit prédéterminé. Lorsque la température du dispositif de communication dépasse une température acceptable, on modifie le réglage du débit de données de manière à réduire le taux d'accroissement de température du dispositif de communication afin d'éviter une température de pointe. Une valeur donnée de puissance de sortie est utilisée pour la transmission pendant l'intervalle de temps au cours duquel les données sont transmises. On réduit le débit des données soit en réduisant la puissance de sortie utilisée, soit en réduisant l'intervalle de temps pendant lequel le dispositif de communication transmet des données au second dispositif de communication.
