Patent GB-2460322-A (GB)
Title: Brake control system for dealing with a faulty sensor
Inventor: MAY WILLIAM P
IPC: B60T8/96
Filed: 2009-05-05
Abstract: A method includes receiving an input brake command that indicates a desired amount of braking for a vehicle. A brake control signal is then derived from the input brake command to facilitate applying a braking force to a wheel 12a-d of the vehicle, and the braking force facilitates achieving the desired amount of braking for the vehicle. The method further comprises determining that data from a sensor 22 associated with the wheel 12a-d is unavailable, and then modifying the brake control signal in response to determining that the data is unavailable. The modification may be based on sensor data or controller output associated with a second wheel where data is available. Such modification facilitates the desired amount of braking for the vehicle. The vehicle is preferably an aircraft.

Abstract: 578,929. ' Photographic emulsions. BAKER, T. T., and DACREMATT, Ltd. May 30, 1944, No. 10375. [Class 98 (ii)]. A semi-dried photographic emulsion (which contains from 4 to 14 per cent by weight of moisture) is prepared by shredding a partially stabilized silver halide gelatin emulsion, treating the shreds with an aqueous sodium sulphate solution to harden their surfaces, and drying at a temperature not above 90 F. to form a freely-flowing granular mass. A substantially saturated solution of sodium sulphate, which may contain potash or other alum, may be used. Excess sodium sulphate is removed by washing with ice-cold water. Drying is effected on nickel, silver, stainless steel, or other innocuous metal gauze trays or rotating gauze drums in air at between 85 F: and 95 F. A more concentrated emulsion than normal may be used. In an example, an aqueous solution of silver nitrate to which has been added sufficient ammonia just to redissolve the firstformed precipitate and which is at 65 F. is added to an aqueous solution of gelatin and ammonium bromide and iodide at 100 F., an aqueous solution of silver nitrate at 110 F. is added and then dry gelatin, and the emulsion is gelled in ice water. The emulsion is shredded and washed, re-melted and heated to 120 F., acetic acid solution added, and the emulsion is digested for 40. minutes and then allowed to set. The emulsion is finely shredded and dropped into an aqueous solution of sodium sulphate and potassium alum, is washed in ice-cold water, and is dried. Specification 558,667 is referred to. According to the Provisional Specification, the treatment may be applied to a fully-digested emulsion.
