Title: On-line road control for energy distribution network, comprises load sensing and control unit in each consumer's premises, communicating with central management unit
Inventor: CHARBONNIER THIERRY
IPC: H02J3/14
Filed: 1999-02-24
Abstract: The energy supplied by the network to each consumer installation (20) is measured in a control unit (1) by tariff metering (5) comprising a power section (2) with an integrator (3) in conjunction with a memory (4). The unit also includes a communications module (7), transmitting data and receiving commands to and from the network's central management unit over power line carrier circuits (31), incorporated in the network, a memory (8) into which the management unit places and updates a threshold power setting, and a comparator (9) with output to an interruptor unit (14). The latter interrupts the consumer's supply through a circuit-breaker (13). This has a thermal delay feature (11), catering for short-term overloads, e.g. motor starting, whose characteristics are simulated by a filter (6) in the measured load input to the comparator to reflect the primary circuit conditions. An instantaneous overcurrent trip (12) is also fitted. The set threshold for each consumer's power demand, held in the control unit memory (8), is related to the network daily load curve, being reduced at peak load times and raised off-peak. Opt., the controller is arranged to initiate an audible or visible alarm as the threshold is approached; the consumer can then reduce his load to anticipate the interruption which will otherwise follow. Opt., also, the circuit-breaker controls selected load elements rather than the whole installation load.

Title: Automatic steering correction system, for power assisted steering, uses steering rack casing displacement to correct transient deflections, while countering driver reaction
Inventor: COFFIN FLORENT
IPC: B62D6/04
Filed: 1999-11-23
Abstract: In a vehicle with rack (3) and pinion (5) steering gear, the driver applies torque to the steering column (6) via the wheel (2). The power assistance system (S1) applies a supplementary torque, e.g. to the column, from an actuator (10) controlled by a calculating unit (11), with sensor inputs representing the driver's applied torque (13), steering wheel angle (14) and vehicle speed (15). To counteract disturbances from external causes like cross-wind gusts, surface irregularities, etc., a transient correction system (S2) is installed, whose calculating unit (21) also has steering wheel angle and vehicle speed inputs, with additional data from another sensor (22), measuring the vehicle's rate of yaw. Teh unit's actuator (20) makes corrections by displacing the steering rack casing (4). Transient correction involves thee calculation of an appropriate reference value for the yaw rate from the other two input parameters, using e.g. type-test results. The differential error value, through a tabulated relation, determines the actuator movement. To maintain the driver's comfort and confidence in his control, the reactive effect of transient corrections is annulled at the steering wheel using a third calculating unit (S3). This derives (30) from the second unit output a compensating torquee value, and injects it into the main controller (S1).
