Title: Monitoring railway track condition by comparing train motion data to a previously determined track profile
Inventor: BINSTEAD JOANNA
IPC: B61K9/08
Filed: 2012-07-20
Abstract: A train cab radio comprises a movement sensor (e.g. vibration sensor, accelerometer or gyroscope); a processor for establishing a track profile using data from the sensor and location data from a location device LR (e.g. GPS or Galileo receiver), and for comparing current sensor data with the profile; and a (e.g. GSM-R-based) radio communication device CR for communicating data relating to the comparison. The data may be transmitted to a ground station GS whenever the current data differs from the profile by more than a threshold value. The profile may be learnt over repeated journeys of the same train. The sensor and processor may form a module that slots into the radio housing. Alternatively the comparison and communication steps may be carried out other than by the cab radio; or the profile may not be generated by the cab radio processor and/or rely on location data.

Title: Assistance apparatus for driving in narrow spaces
Inventor: MOEBUS MARCO
IPC: B60W30/06
Filed: 2012-07-20
Abstract: Driving assistance apparatus 10 is provided for a motor vehicle for assisÂ­tance with driving along narrow roadways, such as when parking. The apparatus 10 comprises a data acquisition unit 12 for acÂ­quiring data on the route to be covered from wheel and steering angle sensors 14, 16, and a storage unit 18 for recording the route data. A triggering unit 20 is provided for triggering the motor vehicle on the basis of the recorded route data. Thus the vehicle may be enabled to drive along the recorded route in the same or reverse direction. A satellite naviÂ­gation receiver 28 is included for determining boundary value position data at the time of comÂ­mencement and/or end of the route. The storage unit 18 stores the boundary value position data for the route data. An approach checking unit 30 is provided, which checks whether the motor vehicle is approaching the stored commencement or end of the route and in this case, generates a position approach signal. When an end point is signalled, it may be suggested to the driver that automatic driving along the trajectory should be performed.

Title: Flow sensing based variable pump control in a hydraulic system with open centre control valves
Inventor: POMEROY PAUL EDWARD
IPC: E02F9/22
Filed: 2013-02-21
Abstract: A hydraulic system 30 has a variable displacement pump 60 that sends fluid from a tank 61 into a supply conduit 66 from which separate open-centre control valves 51 - 58 convey the fluid to each one of a plurality of hydraulic functions 31 - 38. The control valves 51 58 have open-centre orifices connected in series between a bypass node 90 and the tank 61, thereby forming a bypass passage 83. The pressure at the bypass node 90 controls displacement of the pump 60. A valve arrangement 87, 88, 89 is connected between an outlet 66 of the pump 60 and the bypass node 90 and is responsive to an amount of fluid flow through the supply conduit to the plurality of hydraulic functions 31 38. As the amount of fluid flow increases, the valve arrangement causes fluid flow to the bypass node to decrease. Thus the pressure at the bypass node varies as a function of the operation of the control valves.

Title: LED driving power supply
Inventor: HUANG HEMING
IPC: H05B44/00
Filed: 2010-12-31
Abstract: An LED driving power supply comprises a comparator (U6), an optocoupler portion, a transformer (T1) having a primary main winding (T1-A), a secondary main winding (T1-D), a primary auxiliary winding (T1-B), and a secondary auxiliary winding (T1-C), and a control chip (U1) connected with the primary main winding (T1-A) and the primary auxiliary winding (T1-B). The secondary main winding (T1-D) is connected with a current detection end (-IS) of an LED load through a detection resistance (R13), which converts a current variation of the LED load detected by the current detection end (-IS) into a voltage variation. The voltage variation is compared with a reference voltage through the comparator (U6), the output of which is fed back to a feedback loop function control pin of the control chip (U1) through the optocoupler portion. The voltage of the feedback loop function control pin is compared with a voltage of an inner crystal oscillator of the control chip (U1), thus the duty cycle width of the grid voltage of an inner field-effect transistor of the control chip (U1) is adjusted to perform an average current control.
