| 20120228080 | TRANSMISSION WITH HILL HOLD FEATURE - An automotive transmission having a hill hold feature, comprising an input shaft arranged to be driven by an engine, an output shaft arranged to transfer drive from the input shaft to driving wheels of a vehicle to which the transmission is fitted, and a transmission housing within which the input and output shafts rotate, wherein a one-way clutch is coupled to the input shaft and the housing to allow rotation of the input shaft in only one direction relative to the housing, such that when a forward gear of the transmission is engaged the vehicle is prevented from rolling backward. | 09-13-2012 |
| 20120000743 | HILL-HOLDER ASSEMBLY FOR A TRANSMISSION - A device operable in a transmission for substantially preventing vehicular rollback on an incline includes a shaft, a gear, a one-way clutch, and a pawl member. The gear is selectively connected for common rotation with the shaft. The gear is rotatable in a first rotary direction and a second rotary direction. The one-way clutch has an inner race and an outer race, where the inner race is connected to the gear and the outer race has an outer surface having a plurality of engaging teeth. The pawl member has a first end and a second end, where the first end is pivotly mounted to a transmission housing. The second end of the pawl has a first angled portion configured to releasably engage at least one of the plurality of engaging teeth of the outer race as the outer race rotates in the second rotary direction. | 01-05-2012 |
| 20150021140 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REDUCING VACUUM CONSUMPTION IN A VEHICLE - A system and method for conserving vacuum within a vehicle is described. In one example, vacuum is conserved via limiting volume expansion of a brake booster working chamber. | 01-22-2015 |
| 20150021141 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REDUCING VACUUM USE IN A VEHICLE - A system and method for conserving vacuum within a vehicle is described. In one example, a vacuum level in a working chamber of a vacuum operated brake booster is controlled so as to limit vacuum consumption. | 01-22-2015 |
| 20150323069 | Braking System - The present disclosure relates to a method of disengaging a brake mechanism used as a waiting brake for a load carrying vehicle. In a vehicle comprising an automatic transmission system having at least one drive mode and a neutral mode, changing the mode of the transmission system from neutral mode to a drive mode automatically disengages the brake mechanism. | 11-12-2015 |

| 20090152070 | CONTROLLER FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - During a period wherein a manual shift valve moves to a P gear range position after issuance of a D-to-P instruction instructing that a vehicle be stopped, an interior of an automatic transmission is interlocked. Specifically, the interior of the automatic transmission is interlocked by, in addition to engagement of a first clutch serving as a friction engagement element of a first gear range of the automatic transmission, by engaging a second brake causing an engine brake to act and a third brake forming a reverse gear range, and therefore, motion of the vehicle is prevented in a period between issuance of the P instruction instructing a vehicle stop operation, and actual shifting to the P gear range. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20100044183 | Transmission Device for a Motor Vehicle - A motor vehicle transmission device is described. The transmission has an actuating unit, used for canceling a tooth-on-tooth position of coupling elements, wherein the actuating unit actuates a transmission brake when the tooth-on-tooth position is detected. The transmission also has a second actuating unit for actuating a disconnect clutch, the second actuating unit actuating the disconnect clutch when the tooth-on-tooth position is detected. The actuating unit for actuating the transmission brake and the second actuating unit for actuating the disconnect clutch are actuated in coordination with one another, in order to cancel the tooth-on-tooth position. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20130105269 | PARK SLOW RELEASE | 05-02-2013 |
| 20150307101 | VEHICLE AND METHOD TO CONTROL ROLLING ENGAGEMENTS - When a vehicle driver commands a change in direction of motion while the vehicle is moving above a threshold speed, a controller first applies a braking force to slow the vehicle below the threshold speed and then establishes a power flow path associated with the opposite direction of motion. The braking force may be applied by wheel brakes or, in some situations, by a transmission clutch. This method prevents an engine stall, overheating of oncoming clutch, and excessive delay. | 10-29-2015 |
| 20160039423 | BRAKING FORCE CONTROL APPARATUS FOR SADDLE RIDE VEHICLE - A braking force control apparatus for a saddle ride vehicle includes a transmission controller which reduces driving force of an engine by a predetermined speed reduction ratio and transmits the driving force to a drive wheel, a clutch device which connects—disconnects the driving force between the engine and the transmission, a brake device which generates braking force on the drive wheel, and a sensor which detects a state of the transmission. The transmission switches between a neutral state and an in-gear state, and when the sensor detects that the transmission is switching from the neutral state to the in-gear state, the controller causes the brake device to generate braking force on the drive wheel, and then releases the braking force upon completion of the switching to the in-gear state. | 02-11-2016 |
| 20160159358 | Neutral-Stop System for Vehicles - A system which when switched on, automatically keeps a vehicle from rolling when the transmission is placed in the neutral position. The system frees a driver from having to manually activate a vehicle braking system in such a situation. | 06-09-2016 |
