Title: System for detecting a fault condition associated with a knock sensor of an engine
Inventor: HEIKO LENHARDT
IPC: G01L23/22
Filed: 2016-09-19
Abstract: A system 200 comprising an alternating current voltage source 208, a lock-in amplifier 202, and a processor 220. The voltage source 208 and the lock-in amplifier 202 are coupled to a circuit. The voltage source 208 supplies a reference input signal to a knock sensor. The lock-in amplifier receives a measurement signal from the circuit in response to the reference input signal being applied to the knock sensor and provides an output signal with a first and second component of the measurement signal. The processor computes a resultant voltage of the output signal from the first and second components of the measurement signal. The resultant voltage is compared with at least one pre-defined voltage threshold value. If the resultant voltage exceeds a first pre-defined voltage threshold value then the fault condition is determined as a short circuit. If the resultant voltage is less than a second pre-defined voltage threshold value then the fault condition is determined as an open circuit. The amplifier 202 can either be a single-phase lock-in amplifier or a two-phase lock-in amplifier. There may also be an indication device comprising audio, visual, or haptic alerts, or including a GUI.

Title: Vehicle-to-vehicle cooperation to marshal traffic
Inventor: PERRY ROBINSON MACNEILLE
IPC: G08G1/00
Filed: 2017-09-14
Abstract: A vehicle comprises a vehicle to vehicle communication module, a cooperative adaptive cruise control module to determine the location of a traffic cataract (obstruction, restriction or lane closure for example) 200. The module coordinates with other cooperative vehicles to form a platoon 204, and move the platoon at a constant speed through the restriction. Some of the cooperative vehicles might not have a vehicle to vehicle communications module equipped. The detection of the traffic restriction may be performed by the adaptive cruise control module detecting the traffic state changing from free flow to synchronous flow state, detecting the vehicle speed or change in speed (headway), or by detecting the availability of gaps in the traffic. Vehicle speed may be adjusted to reach a target location in a target time period. The determination of the presence and location of the traffic restriction may be communicated from the detecting vehicle to other vehicles. A method of operating the vehicle is also disclosed.
