Abstract: Apparatus and method is provided for performing detailed mine detection over variable terrain. An articulated robotic scanner (1) comprises an articulated arm (2) mounted to any vehicle such as a robot. One or more mine detectors (3) mounted at the end of the arm. The arm operates autonomously to repetitively sweep the mine detector in ever forward advancing side-to-side arcs over the terrain. The vehicle can operate autonomously or-be teleoperated. The position of the mine detector is monitored and known with respect to a known co-ordinate system. Sensors (4, 5) measure their position relative to the ground and relative to known co-ordinates of the mine detector. A controller determines the relative position of the ground and the mine detector and dynamically adjusts the mine detector's position to maintain a constant separation over variable terrain without ever contacting the ground or objects thereon.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a continuously variable power split transmission(CVPST) system for use in a hybrid vehicle. The vehicle has a first motor, such as an internal combustion (IC) engine and a second motor, such as an electric motor. The system has a step-up gearbox for providing additional fixed speed ratios to extend overall transmission conversion range (CR) of the system. The system also has a speed variator and a countershaft being operatively connected to the second motor of the vehicle so that any power input applied by the second motor to the countershaft reduces the power flowing through the speed variator. Also, an adjustment of the variator speed ratio i v allows a passage from underdrive i UD to overdrive i OD range of speed ratios in the step-up gearbox to be synchronized.
