Title: Diagnosis of an acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS) based on existing sensors
Inventor: KENNETH JAMES MILLER
IPC: H04W4/46
Filed: 2018-04-09
Abstract: A vehicle 100 comprises speakers 112 for playing sound externally, and an acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS) 106 (for signaling quiet or silent vehicles, e.g. hybrid or electric vehicles), including a processor 120 for diagnosing errors. The speakers play a test frequency (306; fig. 3) and the processor evaluates feedback from a vehicle sensor not part of the system, e.g. an engine knock sensor 102 or ultrasonic sensor 104; or from a wirelessly communicating external object with a microphone, e.g. an unmanned ground or aerial vehicle (robot or drone) or a stationary roadside unit 116 such as an electric vehicle charging station. When an error is determined, for example by comparing the detected signal to a threshold or baseline (308; fig. 3), an alert is displayed (312; fig. 3) or the volume of the sound increased (420; fig. 4). The test frequency may be the natural frequency of the vehicle engine and may only be played when the vehicle is stationary. The vehicle may include a grille 114 with shutters 118 which are closed to block a fresh air opening before playing the frequency. The vehicle 100 may communicate using dedicated short-range communication (DSRC), e.g. vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) or vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I).

Title: Determining road safety
Inventor: JONATHAN SCOTT
IPC: G08G1/01
Filed: 2018-09-12
Abstract: A location is selected 102 from a set of locations. Data collected from a nearby vehicle is analysed 103. Two values are generated 106, each representative of a performance parameter of the vehicle (e.g. brake pedal pressure, vehicle speed, engine speed, steering wheel angle (or rate of change thereof), accelerator pressure, indicator state, gear or vehicle type). A safety alert is issued 112 when one of the values exceeds 110 a threshold (or, in an alternative, when it is less than the threshold). The threshold may be based on behaviour of another vehicle or pedestrian near the vehicle. A level of traffic safety may be assigned to the location. The location may be selected by analysing a set of location data points collected from a monitoring service and selecting one that has a location value greater than (or less than) a location threshold – wherein each location value represents a number or severity of traffic accidents that have occurred or traffic data, weather, time of day or road surface at the point.

IPC: G01K11/06
Filed: 2019-06-28
Abstract: A safety indicator for mounting onto a fastener comprises first 12 and second 14 parts that are fixable in relation to one another, at least when the first part is mounted onto the fastener. The first part 12 has a body through which extends a bore (18, Figure 1) configured to releasably mount the first part onto the fastener such that relative movement is inhibited to indicate loosening of the fastener. The first part melts at a higher temperature than the second part. The second part may have a neck (34, Figure 3) forming a hinge connecting a trunk (30) to a head (32). Trunk (30) may be received within bore (18) to relatively fix parts 12 and 14. The head (32) may have curved or chamfered edges and be received in a recess 42 in the first part 12, which has complimentary shape. When used on a wheel fastener, if the wheel overheats, the second part starts to melt and the head may detach from the trunk at the neck, and fall-away from, or move relative to the first part to indicate overheating. A spigot 36 may retain the head on the first part following detachment at the neck.

Title: Robotic lawn mower control
Inventor: JOAN KANGRO
IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 2019-07-22
Abstract: A method of controlling a robotic lawn mower begins with obtaining 102 an overhead image of a plot of land. A boundary of the plot of land is defined 104 using a graphical user interface. One or more mower-safe sub-regions and danger zones are defined 106, 108 within the boundary using the graphical user interface. Control attributes are assigned 110 to mower-safe subregions. The mower is controlled 112 to traverse the plot of land while its operation in a subregion is based on (a) the location of the mower in relation to the plot of land, (b) the defined boundary and one or more subregions and (c) the assigned control attribute. A control attribute may comprise a no-cutting attribute or a cutting attribute e.g. cutting height, time, frequency or pattern assigned portions of the subregion. A no-cutting attribute is assigned automatically to a portion of a danger zone by the robotic mower, for example using a machine learning algorithm to detect an absence of grass on a driveway.
