TROY, Mich., April 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Delphi Corp. (NYSE: DPH) will help
lead discussions on the future of the automotive industry at the Society of
Automotive Engineers (SAE) 2005 World Congress next week in Detroit.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020315/DEF002LOGO )
The event, to be held April 11-14 at Detroit's Cobo Center, will mark the
100th anniversary of SAE and will feature several of Delphi's top engineers
and executives during panel sessions and technical paper presentations.
Delphi presenters will cover a number of important subjects at SAE
including safety issues, engine technology advancements, vehicle stability
control, the environment, the challenges of doing business in China, and more.
"Every year the SAE World Congress brings together the top minds in the
automotive engineering community," said Dr. Andrew Brown, Jr., Delphi
executive director - engineering competency, product, government affairs &
partnerships, and Delphi Technologies, Inc. "We are pleased to be part of the
thoughtful debate and discussion among our industry colleagues, as it will
allow us to learn from one another and help us move our industry forward."
PANELS
Delphi executives will be participating on four SAE panels. Brown, who
also serves on SAE board of directors, will participate in two of them.
"Engineering Design and Product Development Capabilities in China:
Implications for the Global Automotive Industry" (Wednesday, April 13, Room
FEV Innovation Forum, 3:00 p.m.) Brown will weigh in on the opportunities and
challenges of operating in China and share Delphi rationale for locating in
China.
"The Next Generation of Automotive Safety Systems" (Monday, April 11, Room
AVL Technology Theater, 1:45 p.m.) Brown will discuss Delphi's integrated
safety systems and the company's drive beyond occupant protection systems to
crash avoidance technologies.
"Hybrids vs. Diesel vs. Modified Gasoline, the Near Term - Is It Time for
a Reality Check?" (Tuesday, April 12, Room AVL Technology Theater, 1:45 - 3:15
p.m.) Business Line Executive Powertrain, Executive Director Fuel Cells,
Delphi Corp., Jean (John) J. Botti, will serve as a panel speaker discussing
the benefits, challenges, long-term durability and improvements that have
resulted from improved gasoline engines with direct fuel injection systems and
other modifications, new quieter cleaner diesel engines, and hybrid vehicles
powered by a combination of gasoline and electricity or diesel and
electricity.
"Technology Licensing - A Faster, Cheaper, Better Way to Market"
(Thursday, April 14, Room FEV Innovation Forum, 9 a.m.) George R. Moore,
Delphi executive, has helped organize a panel of industry experts to discuss
technology licensing as a timely and cost effective approach to acquiring and
using new technology in their products. The panel will also help companies
consider how much additional value could be extracted by licensing out
technology or other intellectual property. Delphi Technologies will also
display examples of licensing opportunities alongside 13 other companies at a
"Technology Marketplace" during the 2005 SAE World Congress.
TECHNICAL PAPERS
Delphi will be presenting 28 technical papers at SAE. Four papers
expected to draw high interest from attendees include:
2005-01-1578 - Effects of Brake Actuator Error on Vehicle Dynamics and
Stability (Wednesday, April 13, Room W2-62, 3:45 p.m.) In this paper the
effects of rear brake imprecision on vehicle braking performance are
investigated for a vehicle with individually controlled brake actuators. The
various effects are examined through analysis, simulations and vehicle
testing. The results are then compared to the influences of disturbances
encountered during normal driving such as side winds and bank angles of the
road. The reduction in brake efficiency is evaluated for different types of
vehicles and different levels of vehicle deceleration.
2005-01-0398 - Influence of Chassis Characteristics on Sustained Roll,
Heave and Yaw Oscillations in Dynamic Rollover Testing (Tuesday, April 12,
Room W1-54, 9:30 a.m.) This paper explains why, in dynamic rollover tests,
many vehicles experience sustained body roll oscillations during a portion of
road edge recovery maneuver when constant steering angle is maintained. The
results provide important insights which may influence suspension design.
2005-01-1226 - Dual Depth Passenger Air Bag (Wednesday, April 13, Room O3-
46, 2:30 p.m.) The dual-depth air bag is one air bag that can deploy in a
small or large size based on seat position, seat belt use and crash severity.
The bag's inflation energy is also adjusted at two different pressures
according to the crash severity. The dual-depth air bag represents the next
generation of air bag technology because of its potential to help restrain a
front-seat passenger in a greater variety of seating and crash situations. A
conventional dual-stage air bag inflates to a single shape with different
pressures. The system is fully compatible with existing restraint electronics
products. Automakers are not required to make any vehicle architecture
changes to incorporate the dual-depth air bag into their vehicles.
2005-01-1224 - Development of a Slush Molded TPO Instrument Panel Skin
(Wednesday, April 13, Room O3-45, 4:15 p.m.) Slush molding is a unique
processing operation that was originally developed for polyvinyl chloride
(PVC) based materials. It has been used to produce a variety of automotive
interior products, including instrument panel skins, where relatively
intricate designs are required. Slush molding is a preferred process for
manufacturing automotive interior skin because of its capability of producing
sharp radii, multiple grains, geometric (technical) grains, deep profile
lettering, and logos. This paper addresses the issues and challenges
associated with formulating TPO materials suitable for slush molding.
Additionally, equipment and associated manufacturing requirements for these
materials will be discussed.
