Title: Slip level control method and apparatus
Inventor: ANDREW GAVIN MASKELL
IPC: B60T8/32
Filed: 2020-09-09
Abstract: A control system and method for controlling a slip level of one or more wheel of a vehicle (e.g. target wheel slip level to be used by antilock braking system ABS). The control system has a controller configured to receive a brake pressure demand signal indicating a driver demanded brake pressure. The controller or method determines a slip level (e.g. in percentage terms) for the wheel(s) in dependence on the driver demanded brake pressure (e.g. re brake pedal operation), and outputs a wheel slip control signal to set the slip level for the wheel(s) on the basis of this. The wheel slip control signal may be output when it is determined that the vehicle is operating in a high rolling resistance environment (e.g. sand, mud, other loose/deformable surface), determined by monitoring vehicle drag torque. There may be different slip level profiles to which the slip level is controlled, which may be selected depending on tyre pressure. For example: SLP1 = on road, fixed 2% target slip; SLP2 = sand, fixed 5% target slip; SLP3 = sand, normal tyre pressure, dynamic target slip level with driver demand; SLP4 = sand, low tyre pressure, dynamic target slip level with driver demand.

Title: Regenerative pump or turbine with stationary axle and rotating housing
Inventor: EVANGELOS KOTRIKLAS
IPC: F02C1/02
Filed: 2019-09-10
Abstract: This invention is about a set of common features that will characterize any machine of the new type to be produced within the set of pumps, turbines and blowers. The machines in this new category, as will be here described, will be told apart from those already in use by one main peculiarity. They will feature a stationary (non-rotating) axle for the rotation of the impeller around it but the impeller will be a solid part of the housing which will be the rotating part. Firmly, on or through the hollow core of the axle, ducts will be fitted for the intake and discharge of the powering or pumped fluid. So the housing of the machine will deliver or receive power from the body in which it will be incorporated or connected (that is torque times angular velocity). An implementation of this invention is shown in the accompanying drawings. Here the rim of a wheel of an aircraft is the rotating body. Part of the rim will serve as the housing (containing shell) of an air-driven turbine (or pump as the case may be). Accordingly, the normal stationary hub of the (formerly idle) wheel will serve as the axle of rotation for the impeller born by the rotating housing. This turbine within the rim will be powered by compressed air from the fuselage to make torque for prespinning the wheel just before touchdown. During landing, this air may be redirected to the brakes for early cooling. The rim already transformed into an air- driven turbine can be utilized to taxi or pull-out the aircraft without a tractor. In this case the turbine of this invention can be made as a two-stage regenerative machine. Research on the capabilities of the just invented turbine at the phase of development will determine the feasibility of taxiing without the main engines at least partially, using pneumatic power from the Auxiliary Power Unit.

Title: Making security recommendations
Inventor: MARIYA ALI
IPC: H04L9/40
Filed: 2021-11-25
Abstract: While monitoring customer environments, security analysts can spend relatively large amounts of time creating client communications and notifying clients of recommended actions. It is useful for the potential targets of security incidents to respond to these recommendations by taking action to prevent and/or mitigate damage by an actual or potential security incident. The invention involves determining multiple recommended actions based on a security incident using an action model trained to make recommendations. The method includes determining multiple similar targets to a target of the security incident using a collaborative filtering model trained to assign a confidence value of similarity between two targets. Weights are assigned to the recommended actions based on one or more actions taken by the similar targets and the confidence value, and a success or failure of the recommended actions. A prioritised list of the recommended actions is provided which is sorted based on the assigned weights. Accordingly, network security analysts may make recommendations to their clients for actions to take to mitigate any damage caused by, or prevent any action potentially taken by, malicious users.
