US Patent Issued on Jan. 27 for "Bidirectional slip-controlled electrical drive and braking system with integrated differential functionality" (Israeli Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 28 -- United States Patent no. 12,533,970, issued on Jan. 27.

"Bidirectional slip-controlled electrical drive and braking system with integrated differential functionality" was invented by Alon Goldman (Netanya, Israel) and Michael Nenner Weil (Tel-Aviv, Israel).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "The drivetrain system disclosed uses a controlled slip between an electric motor and one or more driven wheels to unify propulsion and regenerative braking. A planetary gearset (or similar two degrees-of-freedom gearing) connects the motor to the wheel, with a friction brake applied to one gear element to modulate torque. The motor is actively regulated to maintain a small constant s...
