Title: Vehicle control system and control method
Inventor: DAVID PETTINGER
IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 2018-08-10
Abstract: A control system 7100 and method for a vehicle 10 operable in an autonomous fashion comprises one or more controllers 7110. The control system is configured to receive a first request signal, a first availability signal and a second availability signal. The first request signal is indicative of a request for the vehicle to navigate to a primary navigation goal in an autonomous mode. The first availability signal is indicative of an availability of the primary navigation goal for the vehicle (10). The second availability signal is indicative of an availability of a secondary navigation goal for the vehicle. The one or more controllers, upon receipt of the first request signal and the first availability signal, output a first notification signal to notify a user of the vehicle of an unavailability of the primary navigation goal. The one or more controllers, upon receipt of the second availability signal, subsequently output a second notification signal to notify the user of the availability of the secondary navigation goal for the vehicle. The control system is configured to then cause the host vehicle to navigate to the secondary navigation goal instead of the primary navigation goal in the autonomous mode.

Title: Solenoid Valve
Inventor: HUGH JOHNSON
IPC: F16K31/06
Filed: 2019-04-11
Abstract: The solenoid valve 100 comprises an actuating member 101 moveable between first and second positions to open and close the valve. A biasing means 102 biases the actuating member towards the first position. Energising the solenoid moves an armature 103 to engage the actuating member and cause movement of the actuating member to the second position against action of the biasing means. De-energising the solenoid allows the biasing means to move the armature and the actuating member towards the first position, initially causing disengagement of the armature from the actuating member, and, subsequently causing retainment of the armature in a resting position. A permanent magnet 109 may retain the armature in the resting position. The valve may be closed when the actuating member is in the first position and open when in the second. A contact surface 111 within an internal space of the armature may be spaced from a head portion of a stem of the actuating member by a de-energised gap 301 when the armature is in the resting position and the actuating member is in the first position. The valve may control a secondary air system in a jet engine.
