Title: Rope sway reducing arrangement for weight-based hindering of lateral sway of an elongate rope-like means in an elevator hoistway
Inventor: ANDRE WEIBEL
IPC: B66B7/06
Filed: 2016-09-29
Abstract: A rope sway reducing arrangement (15) for hindering a lateral sway of an elongate rope-like means (13) in an elevator hoistway (7) in an elevator system (1) is proposed. Therein, one end (35) of the rope-like means (13) is attached to a movable component (3, 5) to be displaced within the hoistway (7) and another end of the rope- like means (13) is attached to a fixed position (31) within the hoistway (7). The rope sway reducing arrangement (15) comprises an elongate guide arrangement (17) comprising e.g. two spanning ropes (19', 19") fixedly attached within the hoistway (7) and extending in a longitudinal direction of the hoistway (7). Furthermore, the rope sway reducing arrangement (15) comprises a rope tensioning arrangement (21) comprising a weight member (25), the rope tensioning arrangement (21) being mechanically connected to the guide arrangement (17) such as to be displaceable along the longitudinal direction of the guide arrangement (17) and to be guided by the guide arrangement (17). Furthermore, the rope tensioning arrangement (21) is mechanically connected to the rope- like means (13) for example via an engagement member (26) and is adapted and arranged such as to generate tensioning forces (49) onto the rope- like (13) means due to gravity-induced forces resulting from a weight of the weight member (25) of the rope tensioning arrangement (21). Thereby, the rope-like means (13) may be held at the guide arrangement (17) in a downward directed mechanical tension thereby preventing excessive lateral sway in all directions (x, y) of e.g. an otherwise loosely hanging portion (37) of the rope-like means (13).

Title: Controller, method and computer program to control a plurality of torque providers in a vehicle
Inventor: Pierre-Gwenael Meslot
IPC: B60W20/15
Filed: 2018-02-26
Abstract: A vehicle system controller receives a torque request and controls a plurality of torque providers (e.g. electric motor, internal combustion engine) in a vehicle (e.g. EV, HEV, BEV, PEV, PHEV) to provide torque in dependence on the received torque request and a torque delivery profile. A first torque provider is controlled to go through torque reversal in dependence on the received torque request and the torque delivery profile. A second torque provider is controlled to provide a compensatory amount of torque 20 which at least partially compensates for a difference between the torque delivery profile 16 and the torque provided 40a, as a result of the first torque provider going through torque reversal. The compensatory amount of torque may be an amount of torque in addition to an amount of torque requested from the second torque provider by an energy optimisation function. The second torque provider may be controlled to stop providing the compensatory torque when torque reversal of the first torque provider is complete. At least two torque providers may be controlled to charge from providing negative torque to providing positive torque, wherein the timing of provision of torque from the two torque providers is controlled to avoid the two torque providers going through torque reversal at the same time.
