Title: Vehicle having hydraulic hybrid drive which resists creep
Inventor: TESLAK CHRIS
IPC: B60W30/18
Filed: 2005-07-01
Abstract: A system which opposes creep of a hydraulic hybrid motor vehicle by determining a magnitude of negative torque required to be transmitted from wheels 12, 14 of the vehicle to a pump/motor 26 that would exceed a positive torque produced by an engine 16 on the vehicle so as to hold the vehicle stationary while the engine 16 is in an idle mode. The system is then operable to determine the volumetric displacement of the pump/motor 26 corresponding to the required magnitude of negative torque, change the displacement of the pump/motor 26 to the required displacement and operate the pump/motor 26 as a pump driven by negative torque from the wheels 12, 14 to pump fluid from a reservoir 36 to an accumulator 40. The system is further operable to remove the braking from the pump/motor if an accelerator (44, Fig 2) of the motor vehicle is moved from a rest position causing the engine 16 to exit the idle mode.

Title: Crosstalk reduction in an optical interferometric sensor array
Inventor: WAAGAARD OLE HENRIK
IPC: G01B9/02
Filed: 2004-08-23
Abstract: A method for reducing crosstalk between sensors in an inline Fabry-Perot (FP) sensor array (102) comprising a plurality of fiber Bragg gratings (1120-1124) arranged periodically along an optical fibre (110) is disclosed. The sensors (1101-1104) are formed between each of the Bragg gratings. A light source (104) provides multiplexed pulses as interrogation pulses applied to one end of the sensor array and a light detector (106) detects reflected pulses. The detected pulses comprise a composite of reflections from all the Bragg gratings (1120-1124) along the fibre. The fibre is non-polarisation maintaining such that each sensor of the array may have a birefringent response. The method processes the detected signals using an inverse scattering algorithm to detect an accurate phase response from each of the Bragg sensors while reducing crosstalk from other Bragg sensors within the array. One form of inverse scattering algorithm is a layer-peeling algorithm.
