Title: Method for starting a hybrid vehicle
Inventor: RICCARDO GLEN FRACCHIA
IPC: B60W30/194
Filed: 2017-07-25
Abstract: A method for starting a hybrid vehicle which has an internal combustion engine 301, an electric motor 320 coupled to a driveline of the hybrid vehicle, a traction battery 302 configured to supply energy to the electric motor, and an open clutch 310 decoupling the internal combustion engine from the driveline. The method involves determining whether a temperature-dependent parameter associated with the traction battery satisfies a first condition; starting the electric motor; monitoring satisfaction of a second condition (such as electric motor speed or clutch hydraulic pressure) while internal combustion engine speed is greater than zero; and attempting to close the clutch to couple the internal combustion engine to the driveline if the second condition is satisfied. The first condition may be satisfied if battery temperature or rate of energy delivery is below a threshold, i.e. in cold start conditions. The method may also include inhibiting energy supply from the battery to vehicle subsystems until after the clutch has been successfully closed, and different subsystems may be inhibited at different low temperatures. The method may include attempting to close the clutch if, after a timeout, the second condition has not been satisfied.

Title: Slack SMA wire in SMA actuator assemblies
Inventor: Daniel John Burbridge
IPC: G01B7/02
Filed: 2018-11-21
Abstract: A measure of the degree of slack of a length of SMA wire is derived from an electrical characteristic measured while supplying a drive signal sufficient to cause contraction. The measure may be the difference between the maximum resistance as contraction starts and the minimum resistance as contraction ceases. This provides an accurate measure which may be used during manufacture of an SMA actuator assembly. Similarly, when using a closed-loop control loop to control drive signals supplied to opposed lengths of SMA wire in an SMA actuator assembly that are slack in the absence of drive signals, signals in the control loop are adjusted by an offset that is derived from measured electrical characteristics of the lengths of SMA wire and compensates for the degrees of slack of the lengths of shape memory alloy wire.
