Title: Trailer electronic braking system
Inventor: FRY MATTHEW
IPC: B60T7/20
Filed: 2007-03-22
Abstract: A trailer electronic braking system for a road train comprising a tractor (100 and 200, figs 2-5) and a plurality of trailers (101, 102, 201 and 202, figs 2-5). The braking system comprises a braking ECU 13 on at least one trailer and an ABS system on a further trailer and communication means being provided so that the braking ECU on a first trailer and the ABS control unit on a second trailer are able to communicate with one another. In use, the braking ECU on the first receives an input from a respective sensor on the first trailer adapted to detect lateral acceleration 50 and/or wheel speed 5-8. In the event that said sensor detects lateral acceleration and/or a wheel speed indicative of a loss of stability, the sensor generates a signal for actuating stability control, which signal is passed via the communication means, such as a CAN bus 105 or ECU powerline 204, to the ABS control unit on the other trailer, so that the other trailer can actuate the brakes on that trailer.

Title: Word input through directional movement defined with reference to primary directions
Inventor: SHARAN SANTOSH
IPC: G06F3/023
Filed: 2007-04-30
Abstract: A system for entering words into a computer system by comparison of a pattern of directional information. Letters contained in a desired word are entered by giving approximate location and directional information relative to any specified keyboard layout. The inputs need not correspond to specific keys on the keyboard. A sequence of ambiguous key entries corresponding to individual words can be used to retrieve a word from the dictionary. The system tracks directional information of movement relative to a specific keyboard layout, reducing it to predetermined primary directions (eg up, down, left, right) and translates this ambiguous information into words from the dictionary.

Title: Shutter status sensing switch
Inventor: CROSSLAND ALAN
IPC: B60J5/08
Filed: 2009-04-03
Abstract: A shutter, for example as used on a fire engine, consists of a number of laths 2, which are hingedly connected together and can be drawn across an opening and latched in the closed state by a latch member 4 which cooperates with a keeper 6. Within the keeper a sensor produces an electrically induced magnetic field that extends beyond the sensor so that the latch member is within the magnetic field when in the latched state. This causes eddy currents within the latch as it is made of, or covered at least in part with a conductive material, thereby producing an opposing magnetic field which changes the induction current. The change in the induction current is identified by a detector circuit which together with a control circuit registers the latch as present. In the absence of the latch the magnetic field is not opposed and therefore the induction current is unchanged and the detector circuit which together with a control circuit registers the latch member as absent. The control circuit may be used to operate a warning light or audible indicator. The latch may be connected to a light located in the space behind the shutter.
