ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 23 -- United States Patent no. 12,504,342, issued on Dec. 23, was assigned to FCA US LLC (Auburn Hills, Mich.).
"System for wheel rotational inertia determination" was invented by Chunjian Wang (Troy, Mich.) and Alexander George (Whitmore Lake, Mich.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "In at least some implementations, a method of determining rotational inertia of a vehicle wheel is accomplished by applying torque to the wheel and determining a rotational characteristic of the wheel resulting from the applied torque. The method includes the steps of applying torque at a first level to a wheel, determining one or more rotational speeds of the wheel caused by the torque at the ...
