Title: A control system for an electrically driven vehicle
Inventor: BUKATAREVIC DRAGAN
IPC: B60L50/10
Filed: 1983-01-31
Abstract: A first motor/generator (1) converts the mechanical energy from an i.e. engine into electrical energy driving a second motor/generator (2) which acts as a traction motor, during the acceleration of the vehicle. During deceleration or braking of the vehicle the second motor/generator (2) behaves as a generator, converting the kinetic energy of the vehicle into electrical energy which in turn drives the first motor/ generator (1) to rotate a flywheel accumulator (18). During subsequent acceleration, energy generated by the first motor/generator (1) as a result of the flywheel's rotation is used to drive the second motor/generator (2) in traction motor mode. The system also includes a receiver using IR or ultrasound (19) for receiving and processing traffic signal and related information which is applied to control or limit the operator-control of the vehicle in accordance with that information and a transmitter (20) for retransmitting relevant received information to other road traffic as well as information regarding the speed of the controlled vehicle.

Title: Distribution apparatus
Inventor: SEACOMBE RAYMOND JOHN
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 1983-08-02
Abstract: A hybrid cabled T.V. distribution system has features of switched star and "tree and branch" systems. Basic fare subscribers may receive simultaneously a basic group of channels fed at U.H.F. Premium subscribers can additionally control a switch at a star-point to select premium channels. The switches have superhet converters to convert channels supplied at V.H.F. to a predetermined U.H.F. channel, using a frequency selectable local oscillator. The frequency plan has all V.H.F. frequencies and a pilot reference frequency supplied to the switch phase-locked to multiples of the nominal U.H.F. channel spacing. The local oscillator is phase-locked to the pilot so the U.H.F. signals are all synchronised and intermodulation products minimised.
Patent GB-2129238-A (GB)
Title: Snapshot recorder
Inventor: WALKER IAN CLIVE
IPC: G01D9/16
Filed: 1983-10-20
Abstract: A snapshot recorder for handling varying signal information digitises it 13 and then stores it 14. The sampling and digitising rate is determined by the rate of signal change by means of filters 10, 11 and oscillator 12. Sampling rate information from timer 16 is stored with the signal information so as to be available on read out to aid reconstruction via DAC 19. The information displayed will represent the original signal even though the original sampling rate varied. In an alternative embodiment a fixed sampling rate is employed, but some of the samples are omitted to reduce the storage requirements, when signal interest is low. <IMAGE>
