Title: Autonomous vehicle failure mode management
Inventor: John p joyce
IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 2017-08-09
Abstract: A method of managing failure of an autonomous vehicle 12 comprises receiving by a processor 20 an indication of a failure mode, wirelessly transmitting the indication of a failure to a remote server 14, and receiving from the server 14 a revised route to a destination, based upon the failure mode. The vehicle 12 is then manoeuvred along the revised route. The method may comprise sending to the server 14 a determined level of risk of the failure mode, and requesting authorisation to continue to the destination. The processor 20 may further receive an instruction to halt the vehicle 12, or, based upon a determined risk level and additional information (such as weather or traffic conditions) determine an alternative revised route. The alternative information may be from external sensors or sources 16. The risk level of the failure mode may be further determined based upon the condition of a passenger within the vehicle 12. The vehicle 12 may halt if a response to the transmission is not received within a time period. The destination may be a garage or repair facility

Title: Single channel sampling for multiple channel vehicle audio correction
Inventor: ALAN PETER NORTON
IPC: H04S7/00
Filed: 2017-08-14
Abstract: An audio system in a vehicle comprises a plurality of speakers 104, the state of one of the speakers being used to correct for non-linearities in all of the speakers. One speaker has an associated sensing circuit 310 for measuring the voltage and current in the speaker in response to a drive signal. A channel correction manager 312 derives, from the single channel measurements, correction factors for application to all of the speakers by channel correctors 306. The correction factors are based on the voltage and current response of the measured speaker compared to the predicted response. These may be stored in a look-up table 320. All of the speakers may be of the same model. The channel manager may calibrate the speakers by applying a calibration signal to drive the speaker through its frequency range. The calibration may be triggered by the position of an ignition switch in the vehicle.
