Title: A vehicle having a charging system
Inventor: NIALL HAMILTON
IPC: B60L11/18
Filed: 2015-07-08
Abstract: An electric vehicle (plug-in hybrid, EV, PEV, PHEV), 10, has a number of centrally lockable passenger doors (car doors, vehicle doors), 11, 13, and a charge port (socket, outlet, inlet), 20, for recharging the vehicles battery, 32. The charge port locks a charging plug, 24, in place while charging the battery. The charge port has a charge port door (flap, cover, lid), 22, which is also lockable. When the passenger doors are locked, the unlocking of the charging plug or the charge port door will not result in the unlocking of the passenger doors. A second inventive concept includes the features of checking whether an authorised user/driver is present (proximity sensing) and whether a touch sensitive device (button) associated with the charge port door has been touched before unlocking the charge port door. The unlocking of the charge port door does not change the locking state of the passenger doors. The lock mechanism may be biased to return to a normally locked state.

Filed: 2016-07-19
Abstract: A method of making an aerospace component, by placing two workpieces 2, 4, e.g. billets, plates, or extrusions, against and preferably adjacent to each other, forming friction stir welds 12, 14 on either side extending a partial depth, and machining away material, for example with a milling tool (32, fig. 5), from the central region 20 in between the welds to form a void or slot (22, fig. 5) extending between and thereby converting the welds into full-penetration welds. Leaving the material in before welding may avert the requirement for a bobbin tool, allow different void geometry, and may allow the metal to transfer heat and physically support the workpiece; while milling afterwards may alleviate residual welding stress. One weld may be removed in milling. The void or slot may be positioned midway between the far ends of the welds for symmetrical distortion and stress. The aircraft part may be a spar 10 for a wing of an aircraft, with multiple welds and alloys to account for the different material requirements in different positions.

Title: Wellfare cabin control system
Inventor: PIOTR MIKOLAJCZYK
IPC: H02J3/14
Filed: 2017-04-28
Abstract: A welfare cabin control system (10) comprises a generator set (12), a plurality of user-activatable electrical appliances (16,18,20,22,24,26) individually connectable to the generator set and a controller (14) controlling the selective connection of each individual electrical appliance to the generator set (12) to draw power concurrently from the generator set when activated by a user. The controller (14) actively monitors the summation of the power requirement of the plurality of electrical appliances concurrently activated. In the event that the power requirement is greater than a power output threshold of the generator set (12), the controller (14) denies power supply to at least one of the appliances (i.e. sheds loads) according to a predetermined appliance hierarchy. The invention may enable the generator set (12) to have a lower maximum power threshold, which may prevent or reduce low-loading of the generator set.
