Recently filed patent applications of Ford Global Technologies, Llc in USPTO?

Publication number: US20220181929A1
Application number: 17/546,458

Abstract:
An electric machine rotor includes a rotor core having pairs of magnets circumferentially distributed around the rotor core, each magnet pair forming a V-shaped configuration with an opening facing an outer periphery of the rotor core, and first and second slots inside the V-shaped configuration that form a magnetic bridge. Sides of the magnetic bridge are angled toward the outer periphery.

Publication number: US20220181937A1
Application number: 17/546,416

Abstract:
An electric machine stator includes a stator core having annular stator laminations arranged in a stack with each lamination includes a plurality of stator teeth, adjacent teeth defining corresponding tooth slots on an inner periphery. Each stator tooth slot includes a winding area and an opening area leading to the inner periphery and including a first side and a second side. The first side and the second side each have an inner and outer tooth top, the inner and outer tooth top of the first side and the inner and outer tooth top of the second side are respectively symmetrical with respect to a center line of the opening area, and the first side and the second side are asymmetric with respect to the center line.

Publication number: US20220180316A1
Application number: 17/542,669

Abstract:
A method for determining delivery energy requirements includes determining a mass of individual partial loads that make up a total payload and a delivery address of each partial load. The method also includes determining possible delivery routes that cover the delivery addresses and for each possible delivery route, determining an expected traffic volume and initial projected energy requirement for a delivery vehicle, based at least in part on the masses and the delivery addresses of the partial loads, the projected energy requirement reflecting energy projected to complete a given possible delivery route based on the expected traffic volume and based on a decreasing total payload diminished by removing, from the total payload and for at least one partial load, the mass of a given partial load scheduled for delivery at a given delivery stop along the delivery route.
