Patent GB-2337732-A (GB)
Title: A variable bicycle transmission with two pulleys and a drive belt
Inventor: HIXON RICHARD EDWARD
IPC: B62M9/08
Filed: 1998-05-27
Abstract: The transmission has two split pulleys 10 and a drive belt 11 which passes around the pulleys. Each pulley has two sides with shaped segments whose separation can be adjusted to open or close the pulley and alter the steepness or shape of a V groove that is formed between the sides. By being able to alter the shape of the V groove the effective diameter of the pulley on which the drive belt rides is variable. Therefore, a single control 12 can be used to adjust the torque on each pulley and the effort required to propel the bicycle by simultaneously opening one pulley and closing the other. The shaped segments are partial cones which intermesh to differing extents as the sides move and the belt is therefore caused to weave around them in the V groove creating a non slip coupling.

Filed: 1998-11-13
Abstract: An Li-ion secondary battery pack 300 has recharging terminals 303a, 303b and output terminals 308a, 308b exposed at an outer surface of a casing 301, a diode 305 connected between an Li-ion battery 302 and recharging terminal 303a and poled in a direction to prevent a shortcircuit current if terminals 303a and 303b become connected together, and a resistor 306 connected in parallel with the diode 305. A recharger 400 applies a constant current to the battery pack 300 until the charging voltage at terminals 303a 303b becomes equal to or greater than a reference voltage (4.4 volts, for a 0.4 volt drop across diode 305). Charging is then interrupted and the battery voltage at terminals 303a, 303b is measured during the interruption. If this measured voltage is below a full charge voltage (4.1 volts), charging is recommenced with the charging voltage increased slightly above the reference level. After a predetermined time, charging is again interrupted and the battery voltage is again measured during the interruption, leading to a further increase in charging voltage if that measured battery voltage is still below the full charge voltage. The steps of charging interruption, battery voltage measurement during the interruption, and incrementing of the charging voltage are repeated so that the battery is charged with a stepwise increasing voltage (Fig.7) until its voltage measured during an interruption reaches the full charge voltage, whereupon charging is terminated.
