Title: Sensing apparatus for vehicles
IPC: G01S13/931
Filed: 2001-05-17
Abstract: A target object position sensing apparatus for a host vehicle, comprises a lane detection apparatus provided on the host vehicle which includes an image acquisition means adapted to capture an image of at least a part of the road ahead of the host vehicle, a vehicle path estimation means adapted to estimate a projected path for the host vehicle, and a target vehicle detection apparatus which is adapted to identify the position of any target objects located on the road ahead of the host vehicle, the position including data representing the distance of the target vehicle from the host vehicle. A first data processing means determines a target lane in which the host vehicle will be located when it has travelled along the projected path by the distance to the target object and a second processing means compares the position of the target vehicle determined by the target vehicle detection means with the position of the target lane to provide a processed estimate of the actual position of the target object.

Title: Air monitor
IPC: G01T1/167
Filed: 2001-07-20
Abstract: An environmental radioactivity monitor comprises a filter (12) through which air is caused to flow, and a detector (13) of radiation emitted from the particles trapped on the filter. The signals from the radiation detector are analyzed into a multiplicity of energy channels, for example with a multi-channel analyzer (22), the counts in at least two energy windows (W1, W2; W3, W4) being used to determine the shapes of the low-energy tails of the peaks of the naturally occurring radio-nuclides ThC' and RaC', so their effects can be eliminated. The shape of the ThC' peak is used to predict and strip out the ThC peak, and the shape of the RaC' peak is then used to predict and strip out the RaA peak, so all background effects are eliminated. Accurate measurements of air-borne radioactivity are hence possible with short counting times.

Patent GB-0319154-D0 (GB)
Title: A method for regenerating a particulate filter
IPC: B60W30/188
Filed: 2003-08-15
Abstract: A system is described for minimizing engine torque disturbances that would otherwise cause degraded drive feel by a vehicle driver. The system utilizes multiple torque transmission paths of a transaxle unit mounted to the engine. The system manipulates the torque transmitted by adjusting the clutches of multiple torque transmission paths so that the torque disturbance in the engine results in relatively constant vehicle drive torque. In particular, during particulate filter regeneration, a potential torque increase is transmitted through multiple torque paths of the transmission to maintain output torque relatively constant.
