    Abstract: Method and apparatus for performing system monitoring and diagnostics is disclosed. In performing system monitoring, data is acquired from the system under test and compared to an event model. The event model comprises a database having event records which pre-define events which can occur the system's performance. Each event record includes a state vector dependency which lists the events which must occur prior to the pre-defined event occurring and one or more critical parameters defining the data which must occur during the system's performance for the event to have occurred. Event recognition is performed by comparing each event record to acquired operational data and to events already recognized. Associated with each event record in the database is an intelligent data acquisition action which defines an action to be taken as a result of the event record being recognized. These actions can modify the performance of the system being monitored or the acquisition of data. Additionally, the results of the event recognition step can be further analyzed in a computer.

    Abstract: The proportioning valve assembly (40, 140, 240, 340) may be screwed into a complementary-shaped opening in a master cylinder (10). The valve assembly (40, 140, 240, 340) includes a differential area piston (50, 150, 250, 350) biased by a spring (70, 170, 270, 370) toward the outlet (21, 121, 221, 321) which communicates with the rear brakes. The master cylinder (10) includes a pair of passageways (16, 18) which communicate primary fluid pressure and secondary fluid pressure directly to the differential area piston 50, 150, 250, 350) of the proportioning valve assembly (40, 140, 240, 340) to displace the piston (50, 150, 250, 350) to a balanced position. If there is a failure of pressure in the primary brake circuit, the proportioning valve assembly (40, 140, 240, 340) actuates the differential area piston (50, 150, 250, 350) to permit fluid flow to bypass the piston (50, 150, 250, 350) and be communicated directly to the rear brakes of the vehicle.

    Abstract: A vehicle storage battery is monitored to determine battery capacity, state of charge and certain fault conditions. The ambient temperature, battery voltage alternator/regulator output voltage and current to and from the battery are continuously measured. Current voltage (I-V) data is analyzed to determine the internal resistance and polarization of the battery. A determination is made regarding state of charge and fault conditions produced by corroded terminals and low electrolyte level. The low temperature starting limit is determined by comparing the battery's power output capability with starting power requirements of the vehicle. Data produced by the comparison are indicated on the dashboard of the vehicle.

    Abstract: A control system includes a microcontroller (18) which receives input signals from input sensors (14) and transmits output signals to electrically actuated solenoid valves (16) in response to the input signals. A drive circuit controller is responsive to the output signals and to a solenoid enable signal generated by a watchdog circuit (34) to control the solenoid valves (16). The watchdog circuit (34) is responsive to watchdog pulses generated by the microcontroller (18) and transmitted through the watchdog port of the microcontroller (12) to generate the solenoid enable signal. The watchdog circuit (34) generates the solenoid enable signal only when the frequency of the pulses generated at the watchdog port is within a relatively narrow frequency range. Accordingly, the watchdog circuit (34) disables the drive circuits (28) during failure of the microcontroller to assure that the solenoids will not be operated.

    Abstract: A two-stage relief valve for a quick-fill master cylinder (10). The two-stage relief valve (54) has a ball (88) that is biased against a first seat to control the flow of fluid from a quick-fill chamber (30) to reservoir (42), and a unitary structure (55, 74) which is biased against a second seat (70) to further control the flow of fluid from the quick-fill chamber (30). A first predetermined fluid pressure moves the ball (88) off the first opening (80) to allow fluid to escape from the quick-fill chamber (30). A second predetermined fluid pressure moves the unitary structure (55, 74) to allow additional fluid to escape and thereby limit the fluid pressure development in the quick-fill chamber (50).
