Film Belt Position Indicator With Misalignment Compensation Means

View page
US Patent:
6378222, Apr 30, 2002
Filed:
Aug 31, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/652246
Inventors:
Donald John Enzinna - Lockport NY
Assignee:
Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI
International Classification:
G01B 500
US Classification:
33645, 33613, 33 1 PT
Abstract:
A potentiometer position indicator for an automotive HVAC system belt drive has a means that passively realigns the turning wiper and fixed ring of the potentiometer if the potentiometer wiper becomes misaligned relative to the belt. A slip clutch interposed between the final gear of a gear reduction mechanism and the potentiometer wiper contacts a hard stop and is shifted back to an aligned position as the belt is shifted to either of its limit positions, thereby automatically realigning the two.

US Patent:
6642636, Nov 4, 2003
Filed:
Apr 2, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/114216
Inventors:
Donald John Enzinna - Lockport NY
Assignee:
Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI
International Classification:
H02K 4900
US Classification:
310 93, 310 77, 310 49 R, 310 94, 188171, 188162
Abstract:
An automatically acting braking system for a stepper motor ( ) of the type having a rotor ( ) that is radially centered within a stationary stator ( ) and which rotates about the central axis of a central shaft ( ). The rotor ( ) is allowed to axially slide back and forth, biased in one direction continually by a resilient means ( ). When the stator ( ) is energized, it pulls the rotor ( ) to an axially centered position within stator ( ), but when it is de energized, the resilient means ( ) pushes the rotor ( ) to one side, lockingly engaging its teeth ( ) with the teeth ( ) of a fixed locking ring ( ).

Soft Start Control Method For A Motor-Driven Actuator

View page
US Patent:
6657406, Dec 2, 2003
Filed:
Sep 19, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/955794
Inventors:
Donald John Enzinna - Lockport NY
Mark Joseph Parisi - East Amherst NY
Assignee:
Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI
International Classification:
H02P 100
US Classification:
318280, 318256, 318282, 318283, 318284, 318285, 318286, 318466, 318467, 318468, 318469, 318293, 318626, 318696, 318 10
Abstract:
A method of operation for a motor-driven worm gear actuator coupled to a load device energizes the motor in a series of pulses during an initial period of motor operation when reversal of the motor is commanded. The pulsed energization produces a slow initial axial movement of the motor armature without moving the load device, minimizing the contact force between the armature shaft and a mechanical end stop of the motor. Rotation of the motor is determined by identifying and counting motor current pulses due to commutation, and the pulse count is adjusted at each reversal of motor rotation to compensate for motor current pulses due to the pulsed energization.

Rotary Position Sensor

US Patent:
6732438, May 11, 2004
Filed:
Apr 2, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/114210
Inventors:
Donald John Enzinna - Lockport NY
Assignee:
Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI
International Classification:
G01B 524
US Classification:
33 1PT, 33 1 N, 33534
Abstract:
A rotary position sensor for an rotating shaft includes a planetary gear set and a potentiometer. The planetary gear set is coupled to the rotating shaft. The potentiometer is coupled to the rotating shaft and the planetary gear set and is adapted to measure a rotary position of the rotating shaft and responsively generates a position signal. The planetary gear set is adapted to reduce multiple rotations of the rotating shaft to less than a full rotation of the potentiometer.

Leak Detection Apparatus For A Liquid Circulation Cooling System

View page
US Patent:
6826948, Dec 7, 2004
Filed:
Oct 9, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/684069
Inventors:
Mohinder Singh Bhatti - Amherst NY
Ilya Reyzin - Williamsville NY
Donald John Enzinna - Lockport NY
Assignee:
Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI
International Classification:
G01M 304
US Classification:
73 405R, 73 491, 73 495, 340605
Abstract:
A leak detection apparatus includes one or more detection devices that envelope the various pipe joints of a liquid circulation cooling system. In one approach, the detection devices include a pair of conductors separated by a wicking material impregnated with a crystalline salt that provides a low resistance electrical path between the conductors in the presence of a leak. In another approach, the detection devices include a pair of dissimilar metal mesh electrodes separated by an electrolyte-impregnated wicking material to form a water-activated battery that energizes an alarm in the presence of a leak. In either case, the electrodes and wicking material may be encased with a water-activated sealing material that hardens in the presence of a leak to contain the leakage.

Power Supply Circuit And Method For A Motor Vehicle Electrical Accessory Load

View page
US Patent:
6917502, Jul 12, 2005
Filed:
Mar 28, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/109017
Inventors:
Donald John Enzinna - Lockport NY, US
Stephan Michael Vetter - Lockport NY, US
Assignee:
Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI
International Classification:
H02H003/00
US Classification:
361 72, 315 82
Abstract:
An improved circuit supplies electrical power to a vehicle accessory load, such as a load that is powered through a vehicle accessory load connector or cigarette lighter plug. The circuit utilizes battery voltage comparator and timer switching circuitry to interrupt the supply of power to the accessory load if the engine-driven alternator fails to charge the storage battery for at least a predefined time interval (i. e. , when the vehicle engine is not running), and to automatically re-establish electrical power supply to the load when battery charging resumes (i. e. , when engine operation resumes).

Airflow Blockage Detection Apparatus For A Permanent Split-Capacitor Single-Phase Fan Motor

View page
US Patent:
6950029, Sep 27, 2005
Filed:
Jun 24, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/602382
Inventors:
Donald John Enzinna - Lockport NY, US
Assignee:
Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI
International Classification:
G08B021/00
US Classification:
340607, 340501, 340608, 340648, 340664, 318 78, 318613, 361 31
Abstract:
An airflow blockage detection apparatus for a permanent split-capacitor single-phase cooling fan motor measures and compares electrical currents in main and auxiliary windings of the motor to detect airflow blockage. Main and auxiliary current sensors detect AC currents in the main and auxiliary windings, respectively, and a blockage detection circuit forms a difference between the detected currents. An airflow blockage alarm is activated when the current difference exceeds a specified setpoint indicative of abnormally low airflow.

Portable Air Filtration System

US Patent:
6989051, Jan 24, 2006
Filed:
Aug 25, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/647748
Inventors:
Mark Joseph Parisi - East Amherst NY, US
Donald John Enzinna - Lockport NY, US
Susan Claire Vasko - Lockport NY, US
Ilya Reyzin - Williamsville NY, US
Stephan Michael Vetter - Lockport NY, US
Assignee:
Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI
International Classification:
B03C 3/155
US Classification:
96 67, 96 69, 96 97
Abstract:
A portable air filtration system includes a filter housing having an air inlet and an air outlet. The filter housing defines a filtration chamber between the air inlet and the air outlet. The portable air filtration system uses an ionizing mechanism, a filter media, and an electrode to filter air. The ionizing mechanism ionizes particles within the air to a negative charge. The filter media is disposed between the ionizing mechanism and the air outlet for entrapping the particles. The electrode is disposed between the ionizing mechanism and the filter media to establish an electric field. The electric field is established between the ionizing mechanism and the electrode adjacent to the filter media. The electrode is also electrically-connected to ground and to the filter media for dissipating the negative charge of the particles entrapped within the filter media.
