Title: Traction control method that allows for processing time delays
Inventor: REYNOLDS TIMOTHY
IPC: B60L50/16
Filed: 2010-12-02
Abstract: A traction control method comprises using measured parameters associated with vehicle motion, e.g. yaw rate, to calculate wheel slip measurements and comparing the wheel slip measurements with a predetermined wheel slip threshold. If the wheel slip measurement exceeds the wheel slip threshold a command to reduce power train torque is provided. A further processing step compares one or more of the measured parameters with a predetermine threshold that is indicative of a level at which wheel slip will occur and if the threshold is exceeded by one or more parameter a command to limit power train rate of increase is provided. The further processing step is feed forward in nature while other processing is feed back in nature. In this way the torque can be controlled even during a processing time delay wherein the wheel slip processing, comparison and implementation steps are being carried out. An apparatus for performing the traction control comprising a controller 14 receiving various signals from sensors 18, 22 and speed calculator 10.

Abstract: A hand held electric power tool comprises a torque coupling means 250 with a planetary transmission 170, which is arranged in a transmission housing 110, for transmitting a torque produced by a drive motor to a drive shaft 120, the planetary transmission 170 comprising at least one ring gear 206 axially displaceable in the transmission housing 110 for freeing the torque coupling means 250. In use, when the drive shaft is rotated at least one blocking element 242 on a stationary support element 240 co-operates with at least one detent body 214 provided on the ring gear to prevent rotation until a predetermined level of torque is achieved. A compression spring 230 is preferably provided which generates a pressing force against the ring gear so that the ring gear and the support element are rigidly coupled together and non-rotatable relative to each other. When the predetermined torque level is achieved, the detent body and blocking elements co-operate to allow axial displacement of the ring gear such that the ring gear is freed for rotation relative to the support element.

Title: Processing in emulated computing environment
Inventor: THACKREY THOMAS ARMOUR
IPC: G06F9/455
Filed: 2012-10-09
Abstract: Method whereby responsive to identifying a reference to a system-provided routine (standard or frequently used routine) in an application 300 being emulated, a processor is directed to native code 400a, 400b, rather than emulated code 306a, 306b, even though the application is being emulated. Identifying comprises scanning the application during its execution or subsequent to being loaded but prior to execution of system-provided routines. Defined routine names or signatures are searched, such as signatures created by linkage or call signatures encoded by compiler or assembler (e.g. supervisory call). A pointer is associated with the application to the native code. System-provided routines can be: sort, print, or copy routines, mathematical functions, or GETMAIN service. Processing within an emulated computing environment is facilitated. Also described is a Just In Time (dynamic) compiler that examines processed code for opportunities to remove redundancies.
