Title: Generating an alphanumeric password by selecting displayed images
Inventor: BURKILL VANCE
IPC: G06F3/048
Filed: 2012-04-24
Abstract: A user selects one or more visual indicators, typically displayed images 28, from which selection(s) a multi-digit number (MDN) is generated. Each of a plurality of sequences of alphanumeric characters (i.e. an array or matrix of such characters, fig. 4) is stepped through by an amount corresponding to a respective one of the numbers (numerals) in the MDN, i.e. each number (numeral) in the MDN identifies a respective alphanumeric character from one of the sequences. The respective alphanumeric characters from each sequence are displayed to the user to form the password 42. In a preferred embodiment, a first MDN is generated from the image selection(s) and is used to determine a second MDN from a matrix or table of numbers (fig. 2), e.g. the first MDN acts as a pointer to the start of the second MDN. The numbers (numerals) of the second MDN are then used to identify alphanumeric characters from the plurality of sequences of such. The user interface may allow editing of a basic, generated password and a given password can simply be recalled by replicating the sequence of selection and editing steps by which the password was originally generated.

Title: Residual range display
Inventor: ROBERTSON DUNCAN
IPC: B60L11/18
Filed: 2012-09-06
Abstract: A residual range system for a motor vehicle having an electric drive motor and an energy storage device 3 has a processor that calculates a residual range rate of change (ROC) that is output for display. The processor may also calculate a residual range RV indicating a distance that the vehicle can travel based on the available energy in the energy storage device. The processor can calculate a state of charge (SOC) of an energy storage device and its rate of change, which is output to a display. The rate of change indication of the residual range may be calculated over a time interval and classified according to a threshold determined from a look-up table. The residual range and its rate of change may be calculated from the state of charge of the storage device and based upon vehicle parameters such as acceleration, deceleration, speed and electrical system status. The residual range rate of change may be displayed as a graphical element that can represent variations by its length, width, size, shape, colour, orientation and profile and by a marker travelling along a residual range scale whose position indicates an increase or decrease in remaining range.

Title: Electrical contactor
Inventor: CONNELL RICHARD ANTHONY
IPC: H01H50/64
Filed: 2013-07-11
Abstract: An electrical contactor comprises fixed contacts 34 on each side of a fixed member 14 interposed between an odd number, such as three, of moving arms 29,22 each having a movable contact 36 engaging with a fixed contact 14. When the contacts close current flowing through the arms produces a force which urges the arms together increasing a force between the fixed and movable contacts. Although a number of arms on one side of the fixed member, e.g. one, is different from the number on the other side, e.g. two, the overall lateral extents of the arms at each side of 15 the fixed member may substantially match. Arms 20,22 can have a distal extension tang 45 biassed by pin (fig 2a, 62) on an actuating carriage 44 against tilt to maintain parallel seating of the contacts and reduce bounce. The contacts can be actuated by a dual-latching electromagnetic actuator 42 by a wedge 60 that is on carriage 44 and between contact arms 20, 22. One of arms 20 can be pre-set to lead another arm that is preset to lag, so that the leading arm closes before the lagging arm. A leading arm can be wider than a narrow lagging arm. The contactor can have two sets of contacts, be used to disconnect an electrical meter and withstand high fault currents.
