Title: Series hybrid vehicle
Filed: 2012-02-27
Abstract: The invention relates to a series hybrid vehicle, such as an automobile. The vehicle comprises an energy management system, a battery 200, an auxiliary power unit 100 (APU), a load 300 comprising an electric motor 310, and an electrical power bus 400. The vehicle has a first operating mode in which the energy management system determines a target power demand, calculates an APU cost function representing the cost of supplying power from the auxiliary power unit, calculates a battery cost function representing the cost of supplying power from the battery, and calculates a desired APU power to be supplied to the load by the auxiliary power unit and a desired battery power to be supplied to the load by the battery so as to minimise the weighted sum of the APU cost function and the battery cost function to improve fuel efficiency. The invention is aimed at minimizing costs per unit of energy delivered, such as monetary cost, fuel amount, undesirable emissions, component fatigue and/or battery life reduction.

Inventor: DAL LAGO ANTONELLA
IPC: H04B7/08
Filed: 2000-07-28
Abstract: In the following a method to automate the preliminary equalization of combined signals in space diversity receivers is described. The method includes a start cycle in order to check the absence of irregular propagation of radio signals caused by atmospheric events, or to wait for the end of these events, followed by an equalization step of the centre-band amplitudes of the Main and Diversity signals, and by a cycle aiming at maximizing a target function  DELTA P that decreases with the absolute value of the delay  tau between the signals at the combination point. The second cycle includes a first step to check the absence of flat fading and of selective fading within the band of the modulated signal, followed by a cycle of phase shifting the Diversity signal with small phase variations, at each step the logarithmic value of the maximum and minimum amplitudes of the combined Vcomb signal is stored. After each 360 DEG  rotation, the  DELTA P function is calculated, that is given by the difference between the stored maximum and the minimum Vcomb values. The current DELTA P is compared with the  DELTA P measured at the previous 360 DEG  rotation, to check if it has increased or decreased. The INCREMENT  tau  on the Main signal path is then changed, which absolute value and sign, in the increasing direction of  DELTA P, depend on the starting delay and on the sign, or on the absolute value and sign, of the difference between the two  DELTA P. The procedure ends when the current  DELTA P exceeds a threshold set as target for the accuracy of the preliminary equalization (Figure 1). <IMAGE>

Filed: 1984-03-20
Granted: 1987-07-16
Abstract: A process for scrambling and unscrambling the image part of a sampled MAC line video signal excluding the synchronization signal begins by dividing at two dividing points the MAC luminance signal and the chrominance signal to form two pairs of segments that are adjacent in each pair. For both transmission and reception each one of two dividing points between the two segments is synchronously defined in a pseudo-random manner to form a pair slightly overlapping in the neighborhood of the pertinent dividing point. The segments are processed in each pair as a whole in order to scramble prior to transmission and again to unscramble upon reception so as to restore the initial video signal.
