Title: A regenerative braking system for a hybrid electric vehicle
IPC: B60W10/18
Filed: 2003-02-17
Abstract: A regenerative braking system for use with a hybrid electric vehicle 10 including an internal combustion engine 14, an electric motor/generator or transaxle assembly 16, and a transmission assembly 18 which selectively receives torque from the engine 14 and transaxle 16 and delivers the received torque to vehicle's wheels 26, 28. The engine 14 is connected to the transmission assembly 16 by use of a clutch 20. During regenerative braking events, the system automatically disengages clutch 20, thereby allowing a maximum amount of energy to be recovered by the transaxle assembly 16, as engine "drag" is eliminated. Furthermore, the system disengages clutch 20 during idling conditions, and utilizes transaxle 16 to provide a negative torque to the driveline, effective to recover energy and to simulate engine drag forces due to compression braking effects, thereby providing a driver of the vehicle 10 with consistent feel during all operating modes.

Title: Wind turbine control having a lidar wind speed measurement apparatus
IPC: F03D7/02
Filed: 2003-02-28
Abstract: A wind turbine is provided having a lidar wind speed measurement apparatus for achieving wind control. The lidar apparatus is arranged to scan the area in front of the wind turbine so as to generate a measurement of the wind speed across the wind field. The lidar apparatus may be located in the hub of the wind turbine and the look direction inclined away from the rotational axis so that rotation of the hub ensures scanning. Preferably the lidar apparatus has a plurality of look directions so as to increase the scanning rate. This may be achieved by having a number of dedicated lidar systems and/or by using multiplexed lidars. Measurement of the wind field allows improved control of the wind turbine giving efficiency and reduced wear benefits.

Title: Safety mechanism for power tool and power tool incorporating such mechanism
IPC: H01H3/36
Filed: 2003-08-09
Abstract: A safety mechanism for a hedge trimmer is disclosed. Thumb catches 1032, 1048, together with corresponding locking members are initially biased downwardly relative to corresponding actuator levers 1010, 1014, as a result of which actuation of a motor of the hedge trimmer is prevented. This prevents inadvertent one-handed actuation of the hedge trimmer. In order to actuate the hedge trimmer, the user holds one of the actuator levers 1010, 1014 the corresponding thumb catch 1032 or 1048 upwardly, which causes movement of the other thumb catch towards its release position to allow pivotable movement of the actuator levers 1010, 1014 relative to a handle of the hedge trimmer. Movement of one of the actuator levers 1010, 1014 relative to the handle brings the lever 1018 into engagement with the electrical switch assembly 1008 to actuate the motor of the hedge trimmer. When the actuator levers 1010, 1014 are released, torsion springs urge the actuator levers 1010, 1014 and locking members outwardly relative to the handle housing 1004, as a result of which the locking members are urged into a locking position to prevent further actuation of actuator levers 1010, 1014 until the thumb catches 1032, 1048 have again been slid out of their locking position. <IMAGE>
