Filed: 2017-09-28
Abstract: A controller 2 is used to control at least first and second propulsion units (e.g. electric motors) to generate a combined torque that is at least substantially equal to a total requested torque. The controller may be used to control traction motors of an electric vehicle (e.g. EV, BEV, HEV, PHEV) for controlling the torque split between the traction motors. In one embodiment, first and second torque ranges TR1, TR2 for the respective first and second propulsion units are determined, the torque ranges being determined to maintain dynamic stability of a vehicle. A total power cost is determined, based on an estimated power loss of each propulsion unit within its respective torque range. In another embodiment, the first and second propulsion units are first and second electric machines 7, 10 and a power loss penalty for each of the electric machines is determined, based on a respective operating temperature of the electric machines. The total power cost is determined, based on the power loss penalties of the electric machines. In both embodiments, the torque to be generated by each of the propulsion units is determined and corresponds to an identified minimum value of the total power cost. Control signals DS1, DS2 are generated to control the respective propulsion units to generate the determined torque.

Title: Brake monitoring
Inventor: RODRIGO JIMENEZ
IPC: F16D66/02
Filed: 2018-02-27
Abstract: A method for determining a thermal oxidation state (ie loss of mass of friction material due to thermal oxidation) of a brake eg of aircraft landing gear with carbon-carbon discs, or race car brakes, involves determining a thermal oxidation state of the brake after a braking event, using a thermal oxidation model based on an initial thermal oxidation state before the braking event and a temperature profile of the brake with respect to time. The thermal oxidation state may then be updated. The temperature profile may include data from a temperature sensor (212, fig.2) or may be a predicted temperature profile, eg taking into account a short landing runway. A future thermal oxidation state may be predicted. The amount of brake wear may be determined (fig.7) using a brake wear model based on the amount of energy absorbed by the brake, and a density parameter of the brake. The number of good future use cycles until a thermal oxidation threshold or a brake wear threshold is reached may be determined.

Title: Private search service
Inventor: MOHAMED AHMED ABDELRAHEEM
IPC: H04L9/08
Filed: 2021-06-10
Abstract: DSSE is used to interrogate encrypted databases stored in clouds without revealing too much data to the cloud provider. These schemes typically create a second database of searchable tags cryptographically derived from a keyword and an update count c (instances of files containing the keyword being added deleted). Thus, there is a tag for each file:keyword intersection, linked to encrypted references allowing retrieval of the encrypted file. In embodiments the invention breaks the update count into hash chains of length n and creates tags from the hash chain number hc and position in the hash chain. The hash chains can be searched in parallel to increase search speed at the cost of larger query messages. The invention may use the oblivious cross tag (OXT) protocol for multi-keyword searching.
