Title: A vehicle braking system
Inventor: DUDLEY HARRISON
IPC: B60T13/68
Filed: 2020-08-14
Abstract: A vehicle braking system 10 for tractor-trailer combination. The system includes a control unit (50; fig. 6); a supply line 12; an auxiliary fluid reservoir 28; a spring brake actuator 23a, which applies braking by spring and releases when supplied with pressurised fluid; and a service brake actuator, which applies braking when supplied with pressurised fluid. The control unit (ECU) is operable to initiate autonomous braking so that the service brake actuator is in brake apply position until the vehicle speed reaches a low speed threshold (e.g. by activating solenoid 32d of electrically operable brake apply valve 32, as in figure 2). The control unit is also operable to connect the reservoir 28 to the spring brake actuator 23a when the pressure in supply line 12 falls below a threshold (e.g. due to supply disconnection). This may be done by energising solenoid 36d of emergency braking override valve 36 to move to a position (see fig. 5) in which pressurised fluid from reservoir 28 is connected to control input 20c of emergency brake apply valve 20, causing the valve 20 to be in a position allowing pressured fluid from the reservoir through to release the spring brake.

Title: System and method for scheduling an event amongst entities
Inventor: Maribeth Olafioye
IPC: G06Q10/10
Filed: 2020-11-11
Abstract: Events are scheduled by first determining whether an entity’s location meets a first criteria. If so, an attribute of the entity 402 is compared with data associated with the event to determine if there is an overlapping match. If there is a match, the event is scheduled and the entity is sent an invitation to the event. For example, job applicants may be matched to job interviews based on the distance between the applicant and the interview site, an attribute of the candidate (such as their educational qualifications, age, years of experience, gender, working status, or salary expectations), and information associated with the interview or vacancy (such as keywords, a rating, a role, a work profile, or an organisation’s name). Where an overlapping match is found, the job seeker is automatically invited to attend the interview, such as by sending a personalised email, text message, or web message. The scheduled event may be registered as a calendar entry which can be accepted or rejected, and may be scheduled in a free calendar entry so as to avoid busy calendar entries.

Title: Vehicle sensor mounting system
Inventor: JUSTIN D'ANTONIO
IPC: G01S17/931
Filed: 2021-09-06
Abstract: A vehicle sensor mounting system 100 includes a tubular bridge structure 101 that in use spans across the width of the vehicle roof and attaches to existing rooftop anchor points. The bridge has a middle section for mounting a plurality of sensors to, and first and second legs to either side which are separated from the middle section by first and second bend angles. The mounting system is intended to allow camera sensors 104a-c to have full field-of-view coverage while being as close to the vehicle body as possible to reduce parallax, and not being occluded by the vehicle body or mounting system. The mounting system also allows the cameras to be co-axial with a LiDAR sensor 103 and to minimize parallax. The mounting system has a minimum natural frequency that reduces road vibrations, allowing the sensors to remain in a stable mounting position and minimizes the motion of the sensors relative to the vehicle chassis to reduce misalignment errors in the sensor data. The mounting system may include a front and rear (figure 8) assembly. The rear assembly includes a cable hub assembly coupled to the middle section that provides a single ingress/egress point for a multi-conductor sensor cable.
