Each latch device comprises a latch assembly 17 mounted to the vehicle body 10 and a striker 21 mounted to the bonnet 14. Impact sensors are configured to detect a front collision with a pedestrian and two lift actuators 18 are arranged to raise the rear edge of the bonnet 14 into a deployed position in response to a pedestrian impact. Each latch assembly 17 includes a latch claw 26 moveable between a latch position in which the striker 21 is held by the latch claw 26 and a release position in which the striker 21 is releasable from the latch claw 26. Each latch assembly 17 also includes a release member 27 which is operable by a driver of the vehicle to allow the latch claw 26 to be moved towards its release position and allow the bonnet 14 to be lifted. A release actuator 32 is arranged to move the release member 27 and allow the latch claw 26 to be moved towards its release position and retain it in said position when the bonnet 14 is lifted by the lift actuators 18 in the event of a pedestrian impact. Each release actuators 32 is retained by a spring clip 37 which is attached to one end of a release tape 38 whose other end is connected to one of the lift actuators 18. The release tape 38 is normally hidden by the bodywork under the bonnet 14. However, when the bonnet 14 is moved to the deployed position by the lift actuators 18, the tape 38 is exposed and can be pulled to release the clip 37. The release actuator 32 can then pull away, allowing the latch assembly 17 to be re-set.

Title: High linearity doherty communication amplifier with bias control
Inventor: KWON YOUNGWOO
IPC: H03F1/02
Filed: 2004-10-19
Abstract: The present invention relates to bias control of a power amplification circuit of a mobile device for improving the efficiency and the linearity properties of the power amplifier. In one embodiment, the power amplifier improves these properties by receiving a voltage control signal to bias a supplemental amplifier so that the power amplifier operates in a Doherty mode in a low output power range and in a non-Doherty mode in a high output power range. In the non-Doherty mode, the supplemental amplifier is biased as a class AB amplifier via the received voltage control signal to satisfy the non-linear operational requirements of the power amplifier in the high output power range. The power amplifier generates the voltage control signal based upon power levels of signals received from a remote base station.

Title: Associated graphic displays in a process environment
Inventor: LUCAS J MICHAEL
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2005-05-04
Abstract: Graphical display support is provided within a process plant configuration, monitoring and simulation system to enable graphical displays to be created in a manner in which they are associated with one another in the runtime environment. In particular, a single graphic display editor may be used to create various interrelated graphic displays that may, for example, be accessed from one another in the runtime environment to provide further information about a process entity within one of the graphic displays, to scroll through adjacent sections of a process plant or to provide different displays for different functions within the process plant, such as for an operator viewing function, a simulation function and a maintenance function. Because the same graphic editor is being used to create the graphic displays, the resultant graphic displays may have the same look and feel and may be bound to the runtime environment within the plant in generally the same manner, which reduces the time required to configure and create process graphic displays used in a process plant.
