Filed:
Apr 2, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/405184
Inventors:
James C. Bradley - New Haven IN
Rodney J. Klinger - Fort Wayne IN
Joseph Thaddeus Tiglao Penaloza - Fort Wayne IN
Assignee:
International Truck Intellectual Property Company, LLC - Warrenville IL
International Classification:
B60P 338
US Classification:
5118, 5 91, 29619002

Method And Device For A Proactive Cooling System For A Motor Vehicle

US Patent:
7533635, May 19, 2009
Filed:
Mar 7, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/369783
Inventors:
James C. Bradley - New Haven IN, US
Scott A. Wooldridge - Fort Wayne IN, US
Rodney J. Klinger - Fort Wayne IN, US
Assignee:
International Truck Intellectual Property Company, LLC - Warrenville IL
International Classification:
F01P 3/00, F01P 7/00
US Classification:
123 4129, 123 4151
Abstract:
A proactive cooling system and method improve the cooling of a motor vehicle apparatus, such as an engine or transmission, in a motor vehicle. The proactive cooling system boosts the primary cooling system connected to the motor vehicle apparatus by using an electronic controller, an information collecting module for collecting information related to the operation of the motor vehicle and an auxiliary cooling system. The auxiliary cooling system uses a power supply and a secondary cooling system in fluid communication with the primary cooling system. The power supply turns on the secondary cooling system by activating an activator and a secondary pump. The activator opens a bypass circuit to divert coolant from the primary cooling system into the secondary cooling system where the diverted coolant is cooled in a secondary heat exchanger. A secondary pump circulates the coolant through the bypass circuit and back to the primary cooling system.

Tone Ring For An Anti-Lock Brake System

US Patent:
8020676, Sep 20, 2011
Filed:
Aug 8, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/188845
Inventors:
James C. Bradley - New Haven IN, US
Bradley S. Carlson - Fort Wayne IN, US
Assignee:
International Truck Intellectual Property Company, LLC - Warrenville IL
International Classification:
F16D 65/12
US Classification:
188218XL, 188 18 A, 324173
Abstract:
An ABS tone ring is made of a thermo-set plastic material transparent to electro-magnetic radiation. A plurality of discrete, spaced magnets or ferro-magnetic buttons is arrayed in a circle, embedded in the tone ring. The thermo-set plastic is heat tolerant and resistant to road salt and oxidation and protects the magnets or buttons from oxidation and corrosion.

Fuel-Level-Detection System, Calibration Method, And Calibration System

US Patent:
6907371, Jun 14, 2005
Filed:
May 8, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/431896
Inventors:
Rodney J. Klinger - Fort Wayne IN, US
James C. Bradley - New Haven IN, US
Brian P. Marshall - Fort Wayne IN, US
Assignee:
International Truck Intellectual Property Company, LLC - Warrenville IL
International Classification:
G01F001/12
US Classification:
702100, 702 85
Abstract:
Systems and methods for calibrating operation of a fuel-level indicator of a vehicle are disclosed. The systems and methods include means of determining and/or receiving configuration information about the vehicle and integrating appropriate logic for converting raw fuel-level signals produced by a fuel-level sensor into appropriate processed fuel-level signals to be received by the fuel-level indicator.

System And Method For Avoiding Loss Of Prime In A Diesel Engine Fuel System

US Patent:
2007007, Apr 12, 2007
Filed:
Oct 6, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/244923
Inventors:
Anthony Cook - Fort Wayne IN, US
James Bradley - New Haven IN, US
Rodney Klinger - Fort Wayne IN, US
International Classification:
F02M 37/08
US Classification:
12319800D, 12319800F
Abstract:
A system and method for avoiding loss of prime in a primed fuel system of a diesel engine () that propels a motor vehicle. With the engine running, a control system () shuts down the engine when a fuel level sender () indicates an incipient risk of the fuel system losing its prime due to insufficient fuel in the tank (). In one embodiment, the engine cannot be re-started until more fuel is added to the tank. Another feature allows engine re-starting and limited running after a shut-down by first turning the ignition switch () to OFF.

Engine Idle Control Using Gps Telematics

US Patent:
8024118, Sep 20, 2011
Filed:
Sep 16, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/211137
Inventors:
James C. Bradley - New Haven IN, US
Rodney J. Klinger - Fort Wayne IN, US
Assignee:
International Truck Intellectual Property Company, LLC - Warrenville IL
International Classification:
G01C 21/00
US Classification:
701213
Abstract:
A vehicle reporting its position, typically derived from a global positioning or other navigation system, implements idle time limitation protocols based on its position. The particular protocol can be derived from a central, updated location using a telematics link.
