Vehicle Power System With Fuel Cell Auxiliary Power Unit (Apu)

View page
US Patent:
8602141, Dec 10, 2013
Filed:
Apr 5, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/080210
Inventors:
Justin Yee - Portland OR, US
Mark S. Woolley - Portland OR, US
Cristin Paun - Portland OR, US
Shivkumar Duraiswamy - Portland OR, US
Maik Ziegler - Portland OR, US
Derek James Rotz - Portland OR, US
Matthew C. C. Rogers - Portland OR, US
Assignee:
Daimler Trucks North America LLC - Portland OR
International Classification:
B60K 31/12
US Classification:
180 6521, 322 23, 701 22, 60698, 60706
Abstract:
A power distribution system comprises at least one fuel cell that is selectively operated in response to conditions to provide power to electrical loads and/or to charge an electrical storage device such as a vehicle battery. One form of an alternator can be selectively engaged or disengaged to provide power to the electrical loads and/or to charge the electrical storage device. Either or both of the fuel cell and alternator can be operated to provide electrical power.

Fuel Efficient Routing System And Method

View page
US Patent:
20110184642, Jul 28, 2011
Filed:
Dec 20, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/973764
Inventors:
Derek James Rotz - Portland OR, US
Maik Ziegler - Portland OR, US
International Classification:
G01C 21/36
US Classification:
701201
Abstract:
A more fuel efficient route between two locations is determined from a plurality of possible different routes and displayed. The different routes can be made up of links or route segments that can begin and end with a node or link transition, each different route comprising at least one different link. In one specific example, a simulation is made utilizing map data, vehicle specific data including mass, traffic congestion and driver driving style characteristics to determine energy values which are stored in association with links and nodes. The stored energy values associated with the links and nodes of plural different routes are then combined, such as by summing, to determine a total energy value for each of the plural different routes. A route having a low energy value is then selected. At least a portion of the route can be displayed to an operator of a vehicle, whereby the operator of the vehicle can follow the displayed route.

Fiber Reinforced Polymer Frame Rail

View page
US Patent:
20110204611, Aug 25, 2011
Filed:
Feb 17, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/029912
Inventors:
Maik Ziegler - Portland OR, US
Justin Yee - Scappoose OR, US
International Classification:
B62D 21/00
B32B 37/14
US Classification:
280781, 156 60, 156245
Abstract:
Described herein are fiber-reinforced composite members and methods and systems for making the same. The composite members can be any of various types, including load-bearing structural members such as frame rails for a truck chassis. The composite members can be formed directly in a desired shape, such as with a pultrusion process, with irregular features, such as bolt holes, preformed therein without damaging the fibers. The composite members can provide similar or greater overall strength compared to metal members with reduced weight, and can comprise fibers distributed and oriented in such a manner to create additional strength in desired locations and directions and reduced strength in other locations/directions.

Composite Box Frame

View page
US Patent:
20140049033, Feb 20, 2014
Filed:
Aug 17, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/588815
Inventors:
Justin Yee - Portland OR, US
Maik Ziegler - Portland OR, US
International Classification:
B62D 21/02
US Classification:
280797
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to vehicle frame components that are comprised of composite materials. Vehicle frame component structures are disclosed that address the relative lack of the compressive strength of composites compared to conventional metal materials used in vehicle frames. One desirable frame structure is a box frame rail structure that is comprised of composite materials and that has an enhanced capacity to accommodate compressive loads. In addition, the disclosed box frame rail structures provide protective routing options for wiring and pneumatic plumbing.
