Electronic Transmission Controls
Author: Ronald K JurgenPublisher: SAE International
ISBN: 0768006317
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 588
Book Description
The evolution of the automotive transmission has changed rapidly in the last decade, partly due to the advantages of highly sophisticated electronic controls. This evolution has resulted in modern automatic transmissions that offer more control, stability, and convenience to the driver. Electronic Transmission Controls contains 68 technical papers from SAE and other international organizations written since 1995 on this rapidly growing area of automotive electronics. This book breaks down the topic into two sections. The section on Stepped Transmissions covers recent developments in regular and 4-wheel drive transmissions from major auto manufacturers including DaimlerChrysler, General Motors, Toyota, Honda, and Ford. Technology covered in this section includes: smooth shift control; automatic transmission efficiency; mechatronic systems; fuel saving technologies; shift control using information from vehicle navigation systems; and fuzzy logic control. The section on Continuously Variable Transmissions presents papers that demonstrate that CVTs offer better efficiency than conventional transmissions. Technologies covered in this section include: powertrain control; fuel consumption improvement; development of a 2-way clutch system; internal combustion engines with CVTs in passenger cars; control and shift strategies; and CVT application to hybrid powertrains. The book concludes with a chapter on the future of electronic transmissions in automobiles.
Social Acceleration

Book Description
Hartmut Rosa advances an account of the temporal structure of society from the perspective of critical theory. He identifies in particular three categories of change in the tempo of modern social life: technological acceleration, evident in transportation, communication, and production; the acceleration of social change, reflected in cultural knowledge, social institutions, and personal relationships; and acceleration in the pace of life, which happens despite the expectation that technological change should increase an individual's free time. According to Rosa, both the structural and cultural aspects of our institutions and practices are marked by the "shrinking of the present," a decreasing time period during which expectations based on past experience reliably match future results and events. When this phenomenon combines with technological acceleration and the increasing pace of life, time seems to flow ever faster, making our relationships to each other and the world fluid and problematic. It is as if we are standing on "slipping slopes," a steep social terrain that is itself in motion and in turn demands faster lives and technology. As Rosa deftly shows, this self-reinforcing feedback loop fundamentally determines the character of modern life.
Accelerating Automatic

Book Description
I believe that any competent team can achieve high-performance. With this book I have attempted to map a simple model which I’ve used to help accelerate team-journeys to automatic excellence. I am convinced that any average leader can command respect and champion a cause if they understand how to elevate their influence. This book outlines a “3M” formula which distils the lessons I’ve learned working with elite teams in a dozen countries, numerous industries, and over several decades! For a leader or team to transform from Average to Automatic, a shift is needed in 3 areas: Mindset, Method, and Mood [3M]. Find out what “3M” Means and Master a new reality by applying some of the ideas contained within. Winning sports teams and elite organisations exemplify the 3M formula. Several of these examples are referenced in this book. The connection between each M as it relates to leadership, teamwork, and discipline is also unpacked. Accelerate from where you are today, to where 3M-excellence is Automatic.
