  • Patent number: 11719210
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a controller for a starter motor operable to receive a first input indicative of an engine shutdown being required, a second input indicative of a change-of-mind event having occurred after initiation of engine shutdown and a third input indicative of the engine position. After receipt of the first input the controller is operable to monitor the third input and to determine an expected engine rotation direction indicative of the expected rotation direction of the engine after a predetermined delay. If the expected engine rotation direction is positive and the second input is received then the controller is configured to control the output means to cause the starter motor of the engine to be actuated upon receipt of the second input.

  • Patent number: 11719178
    Abstract: A control system for a vehicle, the control system having one or more controllers, the control system being arranged to: determine a likelihood of a NOx adsorber trap of a vehicle requiring purging; determine an efficiency of purging the NOx adsorber trap; determine an operating efficiency of a selective catalyst reduction system of the vehicle; determine a schedule for purging of the NOx adsorber trap of the vehicle in dependence on the likelihood of the NOx adsorber trap requiring purging, the efficiency of purging the NOx adsorber trap, and the operating efficiency of the selective catalyst reduction system; and control purging of the NOx adsorber trap according to the schedule.

  • Patent number: 11713708
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to an apparatus comprising at least two chambers, each chamber comprising at least one wall defining the chamber, a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet through the wall of the chamber and an opening separate from the fluid inlet and fluid outlet. The fluid inlet and fluid outlet are configured such that a fluid enters the chamber via the fluid inlet and exits via the fluid outlet. A gas enters the chamber via the fluid inlet and exits the chamber via the opening, wherein the opening of each of the chambers is fluidly connected to a common fluid reservoir. The apparatus may be used for degassing multiple coolant circuits in a vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11698635
    Abstract: A method of controlling a primary vehicle (18) comprising an automated driving system (20) for driving the primary vehicle autonomously when the primary vehicle is in an autonomous mode, the primary vehicle also being operable manually by a driver when in a manual mode, the method comprising: determining failure of the driver to accept a request to switch the primary vehicle to the manual mode when the vehicle is in the autonomous mode; determining a primary vehicle driving state; acquiring vehicle data for one or more surrounding secondary vehicles (22); determining a contingency action to take with the primary vehicle based on the primary vehicle driving state and the vehicle data for the or each secondary vehicle; and outputting the contingency action to at least one system of the primary vehicle to drive the primary vehicle autonomously in accordance with the determined contingency action.

  • Patent number: 11698528
    Abstract: An imaging system includes an image realisation device, and projection optics for rendering a display image on a display screen. The image realisation device includes an image realisation surface and a light structuring device having a surface with a first and second region. The light structuring device simulates a first lens on the first region of the surface. A first source image formed on a first region of the image realisation surface and projected through the projection optics renders a first display image on the display screen at a first apparent depth. The light structuring device simulates a second lens on the second region of the surface. A second source image formed on a second region of the image realisation surface and projected through the projection optics renders a second display image on the display screen at a second apparent depth. The first and second lens are independently configurable.
