20080196878 | HVAC RESET LOGIC IMPROVEMENT FOR REAR CONTROL USABILITY - A vehicle heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system includes front and rear HVAC systems. A controller receives data from front and rear control panels and controls the front and rear HVAC systems. Actuating a rear manual button on the front control panel allows control of the rear HVAC system via the rear control. Engine coolant temperature is used to judge if the vehicle has been inoperative for a long time. If the vehicle has not been inoperative for long, and the rear manual button was actuated prior to the vehicle shut down, rear manual control over the rear HVAC system is enabled. If the vehicle has been inoperative for a long time, or if the rear manual button was not actuated immediately prior to vehicle shut down, rear manual control is not enabled, thereby preventing operation of the rear HVAC system by the rear control panel. | 08-21-2008 |
20080209923 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VEHICLE DEFOGGING CONDITION CALCULATION AND CONTROL - A method and apparatus for controlling a vehicle HVAC system to automatically defog a windshield glass and to prevent fogging or condensation of the windshield glass. The ambient air temperature and vehicle speed are measured and used to determine a windshield glass temperature. The in-cabin air temperature and relative humidity are measured and used to determine a dewpoint. An dewpoint margin is calculated to compensate for sensor accuracy and fog predictability. A fog margin, which is based upon calculated windshield glass temperature and dewpoint, is calculated and used, in conjunction with the dewpoint margin, to control the HVAC system to anticipate potential fogging conditions and to scale the intensity of the HVAC system response based upon the severity of fogging conditions. | 09-04-2008 |
20080256967 | FITNESS FACTOR FOR AUTOMATICALLY ADJUSTING A VEHICLE HVAC SYSTEM - A vehicle climate control system with a seat position sensor and an occupant weight sensor. The seat position sensor and the occupant weight sensor communicate a seat position and a weight of a vehicle occupant to a controller. By determining the seat position, an occupant's relative size can be estimated. Thus, when the controller receives the occupant weight data and the seat position data, a fitness factor is determined. The fitness factor is a metric that combines the occupant weight and size into a single measurement to judge the occupant's fitness level. The fitness factor, either directly or indirectly is used to determine a temperature at outlet (TAO), which is then used to adjust an HVAC system so that comfortable cabin air conditions can be provided to occupants who have different fitness factors and thus different fitness levels without the occupants making manual changes to the HVAC system. | 10-23-2008 |
20110271698 | Method Of Controlling A Compressor In An Air-Conditioning System - A method of controlling an air-conditioning system for a motor vehicle is disclosed.

20080250900 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LEAD SMELTING - A method for producing lead involves feeding lead concentrate, flux and solid fuel passing to a feed preparation unit. The prepared, mixed feed is then passed to a lead smelting furnace, such as an ISASMELT furnace or other top entry, submerged lance furnace. Air or oxygen, is injected into the molten charge in the ISASMELT furnace via the submerged lance. The feed mixture is converted into lead bullion and a lead-containing slag. The slag removed from the furnace is formed into lumps having a desirable size range. The slag lumps, together with coke and flux are fed into a blast furnace. In the blast furnace, the slag is converted into lead bullion and discard slag. The lead bullion removed may be subsequently fed to a lead refinery for further treatment. | 10-16-2008 |
