Title: A vehicle roll stabilising system
Inventor: CLARE DAVID ANDREW
IPC: B60G21/055
Filed: 1997-12-11
Abstract: A vehicle roll stabilising system uses front and rear stabiliser assemblies (23, 34) which each use a stabiliser bar (24) and a hydraulic ram (33, 35) to resist vehicle roll. Selector valves (43, 44) select pressure from a pump (36) or return hydraulic oil to a reservoir (37) according to mode. A diverter valve (73) operates to control the pump pressure in proportion to lateral acceleration to provide an actuator effort which resists roll during vehicle cornering. This effort is provided up to a limit equivalent to a lateral acceleration of approximately 0.4g after which roll is allowed to increase, either by keeping the pump pressure (and hence effort) constant or by increasing the pump pressure at a reduced rate.

Title: Artificial neural network device emulates human creativity
Inventor: THALER STEPHEN LEE
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 1995-10-04
Abstract: Device 20 for simulating human creativity employs a first neural network 22 which has been trained to produce input-output maps within some predetermined knowledge domain, and is subjected to progressive perturbations that produce changes in the knowledge domain so that the network produces a stream of output "concepts" accordingly. A second neural network 24 monitors the outputs from the first neural network and, according to its own training, identifies "useful" concepts, e.g. designs which satisfy certain criteria. A feedback connection 28 may be made from the second to the first neural network, to further influence and change the first neural network. The perturbations applied to the first neural network may be random, and may be external (changed input patterns) or internal (perturbed weights, biases or internal activations). Certain design constraints can be applied to the perturbations. Device 20 can be applied to the design of products, musical composition problem solving, or developing manufacturing processes for example. Selected "concepts" can be displayed/played back etc. for the user.

Title: Drive and latching mechanism for control rods of a nuclear reactor
IPC: G21C19/12
Filed: 1981-11-02
Abstract: Preferably, the pressurized reactor coolant is utilized to raise the drive rod into contact with and to pivot the latching mechanism so as to allow the drive rod to pass the latching mechanism. The pressure in the housing may then be equalized which allows the drive rod to move downwardly into contact with the latching mechanism but to hold the shaft in a raised position with respect to the reactor core. Once again, the reactor coolant pressure may be utilized to raise the drive rod and thus pivot the latching mechanism so that the drive rod passes above the latching mechanism. Again, the mechanism pressure can be equalized which allows the drive rod to fall and pass by the latching mechanism so that the drive rod approaches the reactor core.
