Title: Thermal protection of a brushless motor
Inventor: CELIK TUNCAY
IPC: H02P29/00
Filed: 2013-06-13
Abstract: A method of controlling a brushless motor 3 comprises storing a power lookup table with a control value for different motor voltages or motor speeds, measuring supply voltage or motor speed and selecting a control value from the lookup table accordingly, measuring the motor temperature, adjusting the control value with a compensation value when the temperature is above a threshold and powering the motor 3 according to the control value, the compensation value correcting it in such a way that the input power of the motor 3 is reduced. The compensation adjustment may be a function of temperature, reducing the power input more if the temperature is higher. A temperature lookup table may be indexed to determine the compensation. A second temperature threshold may be defined, beyond which the motor 3 may be switched off. The method avoids overheating of the motor 3 without interrupting its operation.

Title: Vehicle control system and method
Inventor: HERMES ELLIOTT
IPC: B60W30/182
Filed: 2014-06-11
Abstract: A motor vehicle control system controls a plurality of vehicle subsystems (12 see fig 2) to operate in a plurality of subsystem control modes in dependence on a driving surface. The system is operable in a condition in which it automatically determines the driving surface and causes each of the subsystems to operate in a predetermined one of the control modes in dependence on the determined driving surface. When an interruption in powertrain torque occurs, the automatic changing is suspended. This may occur when a clutch (123 see fig 1) is activated for a gear change, when neither a forward nor reverse gear is selected or when transitioning from a low range to a high range mode. The invention prevents inappropriate mode changes. The subsystems (12) controlled by a vehicle control unit (10 see fig 2) may include an engine management system, a transmission system, a steering system, a brakes system and a suspension system.
