  • Patent number: 10266159
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle braking arrangement for a vehicle with wheels contacting the ground during normal running. The vehicle braking arrangement includes an emergency brake control unit, a first emergency braking system including non-reversible braking means arranged to operate independently of the vehicle wheels, at least one acceleration detector, and a wheel brake anti-locking system. The emergency brake control unit is arranged to input acceleration data (a) when the wheel brake anti-locking system is active, and to calculate the coefficient of friction (?) between the wheels and the ground. The emergency brake control unit is arranged to determine if the first emergency braking system should be activated in dependence of a first plurality of parameters, where one of these parameters is the coefficient of friction (?).

  • Patent number: 9066474
    Abstract: A method for cultivating a plurality of young plants of different species or variety to form a group of young plants which can be handled as a unit. The method includes providing a plurality of propagation pots, each containing a substrate, which allow roots that form in a propagation pot to grow out at the sides, loading at least one growing container with the plurality of propagation pots such that the propagation pots arranged in each growing container contact one another along a portion of their lateral peripheral surface, introducing at least one cutting or seed into each propagation pot, and allowing roots to form in the propagation pots of each growing container until roots emerging from the sides of the propagation pots have formed a network of roots binding the propagation pots together as a cluster of propagation pots.

  • Patent number: 9040792
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an Osteospermum and Dimorphoteca plant, seed, variety, and hybrid. Another aspect of the present invention relates to an Osteospermum and Dimorphoteca plant having a mutant allele designated KLEDF which results in an altered flower phenotype. The invention also relates to crossing Osteospermum and Dimorphoteca plants containing the KLEDF mutant allele with other Osteospermum and Dimorphoteca plants lacking the KLEDF mutant allele to produce intergeneric and interspecific hybrids. This invention further relates to specific lines of Osteospermum varieties exhibiting the altered-flowering phenotype. Furthermore, the invention relates to pollen, seed, and sexual, as well as asexual progeny of such plants with altered flowers. In addition, the invention relates to methods for propagating said plants and to uses of said plants.
