Patent GB-2536340-A (GB)
Title: Stretched motor vehicles
Inventor: MICHAEL MEES
IPC: B62D6/00
Filed: 2016-01-13
Abstract: A stretched motor vehicle has a stability control system 2 adapted to function after the stretching by reducing the value of the steering angle, as obtained from a steering wheel 7, signalled to stability control system 2 through comparing the vehicle steering angle before and after stretching, or of typically-equivalent versions of one or both vehicles, when executing the same turning manoeuvres as one another, in particular turning circles of the same diameter. Suitably, the comparison is expressed as a ratio between steering angles for three circles at quarter, half and three-quarters lock of an unstretched vehicle. In one example, the reduced steering angle is signalled to an anti-lock braking module 3 of the stability-control system 2, and may be derived by reduction gearing 9 coupled to vehicle steering input shaft 6 ahead of a steering-angle sensor 5 or through an electronic convertor unit (10, Figure 3).

Title: System and method for increasing counting accuracy
Inventor: Matthew Allen Jones
IPC: G06Q10/08
Filed: 2014-12-18
Abstract: Aspects and embodiments are directed to systems for determining counting accuracy of products, including retail products. The system for determining counting accuracy can interface with other inventory systems to access or receive information on inventory of the retail products. The inventory information can include, for example, numbers of units in inventory, shelf space accorded to respective products, package size (i.e., number of units available per package), retail value, margin value, among other options. The system can manage physical counts made on respective products. In some examples, the system can determine a value associated with physically counting inventory of respective product(s), for example, as a function of a number of units on-hand, time since the product has been counted, and a presentation value.; Responsive to determining the value associated with physically counting the respective product, the system triggers a physical count or can prohibit a physical count of a product.
