    • An accelerator pedal assembly (12) for electronically controlling a vehicle engine throttle includes a housing (18), a pedal arm (16) pivotally supported with respect to the housing (18), and a pedal pad (14) connected to a lower end (20) of the pedal arm (16). The pedal arm (16) is pivotable between an idle position and a maximum applied position as a pedal force is applied to the pedal pad (14). Under certain conditions, the accelerator pedal arm (16) can be pivoted to a position that causes the automatic transmission (40) to kickdown by changing to a next lower gear. Under these conditions a feel is imparted to the driver's foot indicating that a downshift has occurred. To simulate this feel in a drive-by-wire application, the pedal arm (16) presents a cam surface (48) for interacting with a spring (50) that has a first end (52) seated within the housing (18) and a movable second end (54) for bias engagement with the pedal arm (16). The spring (50) includes a roller (60) mounted on the second end (54) that is forced into contact with a lobe (74) on the cam surface (48) when the pedal arm (16) is pivoted from a first operable position to a pre-determined kickdown position. As the roller (60) engages the lobe (74), the pedal force required to further pivot the pedal arm (16) is increased imparting a kickdown feel to the driver via the pedal pad (14).
    • 用于电子控制车辆发动机节气门的加速器踏板组件(12)包括壳体(18),相对于壳体(18)枢转地支撑的踏板臂(16)和连接到下端的踏板垫 (20)的踏板臂(16)。 当踏板力施加到踏板垫(14)时,踏板臂(16)可在空转位置和最大施加位置之间枢转。 在某些条件下,加速器踏板臂(16)能够枢转到通过改变到下一个较低档位使自动变速器(40)下降的位置。 在这种情况下,驾驶员的脚被传给表示发生了降挡的感觉。 为了以线控驱动方式模拟这种感觉,踏板臂(16)具有用于与弹簧(50)相互作用的凸轮表面(48),弹簧(50)具有坐在壳体(18)内的第一端(52) 可移动的第二端(54),用于与踏板臂(16)偏置接合。 弹簧(50)包括安装在第二端(54)上的辊(60),当所述踏板臂(16)从第一可操作的位置枢转时,所述辊(60)被迫与所述凸轮表面(48)上的凸角(74)接触 位置到预定的下降位置。 随着滚轮(60)接合凸角(74),增加踏板臂(16)进一步枢转所需的踏板力被增加,从而经由踏板垫(14)向驾驶员施加踏板感觉。

    • An assembly for shifting gear positions (10 and 110) in an electronically controlled transmission including a single lever control for moving between various gear positions. The assembly includes a shift lever (118) mounted to either a column support (14) or a base (112). The shift lever (118) either moves a detent finger (38) between a plurality of gear positions or moves a plurality of detent valleys (26) of a detent housing (20) into contact with a detent finger mechanism (22). The distal end (36) of the detent finger (38) includes a magnet (32) for generating a magnetic field. The detent valleys (26 and 126) represent each gear position and a Hall effect sensor (30) is disposed in the predetermined depth of each detent valley (26 and 126). The sensor (30) is activated by the magnetic field generated by the magnet (32) attached to the distal end (36) of the detent finger (38). In response, the sensor (30) generates an output voltage to a control module. The control module verifies the accuracy of the output voltage and signals the electronically controlled transmission to change gear positions. The assembly provides the feel of locking the shift lever (118) into a gear position through use of the detent valleys (26 and 126) while using a minimal amount of components.

    • The invention is a hydride bed water recovery system for a fuel cell power plant that has at least one fuel cell having an electrolyte between anode and cathode electrodes for producing an electric current from a reducing fluid and an oxidant stream. A coolant loop directs a coolant fluid from a coolant reservoir through a coolant passage to the fuel cell and back to the reservoir. A process exhaust passage receives a cathode exhaust stream from the fuel cell and directs the stream away from the fuel cell and into a hydride bed cooler that passes the stream in heat exchange relationship with a condensing hydride bed of the cooler so that the bed cools the process exhaust stream to condense water out of the stream. In a preferred embodiment, the hydride bed cooler is a two-pair hydride bed cooler that includes a first pair and a second pair of hydride beds, and each pair includes a high temperature hydride bed, and a low temperature hydride bed so that each pair of hydride beds operates in alternating regeneration and cooling modes.

    • A proton exchange membrane fuel cell has a noble metal or noble metal alloy catalyst 15 disposed in its air inlet manifold 13. During start up, a fuel cell is warmed to operating temperature by introducing a small amount of hydrogen into a flow of air to the air inlet 12 of the fuel cell where they react with the catalyst to produce heat at subflame temperatures. The adiabatic temperature rise of the gas stream is limited to about 150.degree. F. by limiting the hydrogen to about one volume percent of the fuel/oxidant mixture, thereby to be capable of raising the fuel cell temperature, for instance, from -40.degree. C. (-40.degree. F.) to about +45.degree. C. (+113.degree. F.), without flame, explosion or drying out of the membrane.
