Title: Releasing a vehicle electric parking brake when a clutch pedal position approaches the biting point
Inventor: BENNETT PETER JOHN
IPC: B60T13/74
Filed: 2001-06-28
Abstract: An electric parking brake control system (fig 5) for a vehicle comprises an electric park brake (EPB) assembly for applying a park brake force to the vehicle and an EPB control module. The EPB control module releases the park brake force exerted by the EPB assembly on receipt of signals indicating positive displacement of the vehicle throttle and that the vehicle clutch pedal position is approaching the biting point, reflecting a drivers intention to pull away from rest. Additionally, a gear selected signal and/or clutch pedal velocity may influence the system, the latter causing earlier brake release if the velocity is above a threshold, thus controlling both slow clutch movement (20, fig 1) or rapid clutch movement 220. An inclination sensor may further modify the parking brake release point.

Title: A method of mode switching wherein the operating mode selected is based on the address from which an instruction is fetched
Inventor: KELLY MARTIN SEAN
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2001-12-04
Abstract: A method of switching the operating mode of a CPU wherein the operating mode to be selected is determined by the address from which an instruction is fetched. Preferably an opcode is interpreted dependent on the instruction fetch address. Preferably the instruction pointer is used to determine the applicable operating mode. The invention finds particular application in a processor for executing Quarter words (instructions of a special threading model independent programming language based on Forth) along with native instructions. Thus when an instruction is fetched from a particular range (figure 7), corresponding to the location of Quarter words, the CPU enters a mode that optimises the invocation of these words. The specification also gives details of using Quarter to allow simplified porting of applications (figure 1) to different microprocessors wherein a, fully functioning, reference implementation is first generated, this implementation then being optimised for a particular platform by directly rewriting function definitions in native code.
