Disclosed is an exemplary method for optimizing vehicle performance. The method includes determining an optimized drive torque for maximizing vehicle fuel economy and detecting a driver requested drive torque. A determination is made on whether the driver requested drive torque is performance related or safety related. The arbitrated drive torque is set to the optimized drive torque when it is determined that the driver requested drive torque is not performance and safety related. The arbitrated drive torque is set to the driver requested drive torque when it is determined that the driver requested drive torque is either performance or safety related.

The present invention is directed to a system and method for proactively determining motor wellness arising from potential mechanical faults of the motor. A controller is configured to detect indicia of impending mechanical motor faults. The controller includes a processor configured to determine motor parameters of a given motor including a load and generate a set of baseline data for the given motor. The processor is also configured to acquire current spectrum data from the given motor during operation, map at least one from a plurality of load bins based on the load, and generate a mechanical fault signature from the current spectrum. The processor is caused to compare the mechanical fault signature to baseline data from the set of baseline data corresponding to the mapped bin and determine amplitude variances within the mechanical fault signature indicative of an impending mechanical fault prior to an actual mechanical fault occurrence.

A system includes a first powered apparatus having a first analog signal with a fundamental frequency; and a second apparatus providing load diagnostics or power quality assessment of the first apparatus from a second digital signal. The second apparatus includes an input of the first analog signal, an output of the second digital signal, a processor, an adaptive filter executed by the processor, a digital-to-analog converter, and an analog-to-digital converter. The adaptive filter routine outputs a third digital signal as a function of the second digital signal and plural adaptive weights. The digital-to-analog converter inputs the third digital signal and outputs a fourth analog signal representative of an estimate of a fundamental frequency component of the first analog signal. The analog-to-digital converter inputs a difference between the first and fourth analog signals, and outputs the second digital signal representative of the first analog signal with the fundamental frequency component removed.

The present invention is directed to system and method for determining motor wellness based on potential faults including cavitation faults. Specifically, a controller configured to detect indicia of motor faults. The controller includes a processor configured to determine motor parameters of a given motor, generate a set of baseline data for the given motor, and acquire current data from the given motor during operation. The processor is also caused to isolate sidebands within the current data and map the current data within the sidebands to one of a plurality of bins. The processor is caused to compare the current data within the sidebands to baseline data from the set of baseline data associated with the bin and determine a predictive fault index of the given motor prior to an actual fault occurrence.

Some embodiments of the inventive subject matter provide a power distribution system for a data processing system. The power distribution system includes a plurality of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) units, respective ones of which are configured to be coupled to respective loads via respective load busses, at least one reserve bus, a switching circuit configured to selectively couple and decouple the UPS units and the load busses to and from the at least one reserve bus and a control circuit configured to control the switching circuit responsive to a state of the data processing system. The control circuit may be configured to cause the switching circuit to couple the first UPS unit to the at least one reserve bus concurrent with the first UPS unit being coupled to a first load via a first load bus.

A new system and method for calibrating the field-of-view of a sensor that is part of a vehicle occupancy sensing system. Calibration is carried out by generating an image of the vehicle interior and then identifying within the image at least one distinctive feature of the vehicle interior. The location of the distinctive feature(s) identified in the image are then compared to a set of reference points for a plurality of different sensor positions. The presumed sensor position that corresponds to the set of reference points that most closely match the location of the identified distinctive feature(s) is then presumed to estimate the actual position of the sensor.
