Title: Clutch pedal torque limiting
Inventor: PETRIDIS THEMI PHILEMON
IPC: B60W40/09
Filed: 2013-06-07
Abstract: A method of adjusting torque input to a clutch from a motor of a vehicle when a driver is resting a foot on a clutch pedal, the method uses at least three criteria. Criterion 1 comprises determining a position of the clutch and comparing it with a predetermined range of positions; criterion 2 comprises determining a first time period for which the clutch is held at the position and comparing it against a first predetermined time; and criterion 3 comprises determining a second time period for which a gearbox of the vehicle maintains a selected gear and comparing it against a second predetermined time. If the position of the clutch is outside the predetermined range, the first time is greater than the first predetermined time and the second time period is greater second predetermined time the method provides a signal A to adjust and/or limit the torque input to the clutch. A further criterion 4 may be used as a check to determine if the clutch is actually slipping upon satisfaction of criteria 1, 2 and 3.

Title: Marine threat monitoring and defense system
Inventor: GRANT JOHN
IPC: G01S13/93
Filed: 2012-05-22
Abstract: A marine threat monitoring and defense system and method protects a target vessel in icy or other marine regions. The system uses communications, user interfaces, and data sources to identify marine obstacles (e.g., icebergs, ice floes, pack ice, etc.) near a target vessel performing set operations (e.g., a stationed structure performing drilling or production operations or a seismic survey vessel performing exploration operations with a planned route). The system monitors positions of these identified marine obstacles over time relative to the target vessel and predicts any potential threats. When a threat is predicted, the system plans deployment of support vessels, beacons, and the like to respond to the threat. For example, the system can direct a support vessel to divert the path or break up ice threatening the target vessel.

Title: Facsimile apparatus, method for controlling the same and computer program
Inventor: MORITA HIROYASU
IPC: H04N1/333
Filed: 2014-07-17
Abstract: The present facsimile apparatus accepts inputs of a destination of facsimile transmission and a communication network or line to be used for the facsimile transmission, and further accepts re-entry of the destination and the communication network or line. The facsimile apparatus is controlled so as to execute the facsimile transmission if both the first input destination and communication network match the re-entered destination and communication network, and so as not to execute the facsimile transmission if at least one of the first input and accepted destination and communication network does not match the re-entered and accepted destination and communication network. The facsimile apparatus executes the facsimile transmission only if both the two input items match each other, in other words, only if the destinations match each other and the communication modes match each other. With this, it is possible to prevent mistaken transmission even when the user has input a wrong destination number or a wrong communication mode. The plurality of communication modes designate a respective plurality of communication networks to which the facsimile apparatus is connectable (e.g. G3, NGN, VoIP GW and Intranet). The plurality of communication lines includes an extension communication line and an external communication line.
