Abstract: When a steering speed reaches a steering speed determination threshold, a steering speed gain is set to “0”. As a result, a final basic assist controlled variable becomes “0”, and application of an assist force to a steering system is stopped. Therefore, repetition of so-called reverse assist that is a cause of occurrence of an unintended steering behavior, such as self-excited vibration, is stopped. Accordingly, the steering behavior is improved.

Abstract: A method to optimize resources needed to continue flight if at least one main engine is lost, by relieving a propulsion system that has remained operative of all or some of non-propulsive energy demands, by additional generation of non-propulsive power, operating continuously. The method uses a GPP unit that operates constantly in flight while taking up some of nominal total non-propulsive power of the aircraft, to supply increased non-propulsive power almost instantaneously, based on at least three respective emergency regimes at a time of engine failure. A control and monitoring function of the GPP calculates elapsed time for each emergency regime, and informs a data processing unit thereof, while emitting an alarm if operating periods allocated to each emergency regime are exceeded, and the emergency function adjusts non-propulsive power demands made by the aircraft between main engines and the unit GPP either automatically or on orders of a pilot.

Abstract: Method for CVT and powertrain control in a kinetic hybrid that integrates two constituent control strategies at the same time, one for the kinetic energy exchange between a vehicle and a flywheel to recover the vehicle's kinetic energy and to cancel the effect of the vehicle's inertia on changes in speed, and one for operating the kinetic hybrid's prime mover on its ideal operation line to optimize efficiency. Two different rates of change in the CVT ratio are computed in real time and are superimposed to realize both strategies. Using the combined rate of change in the CVT ratio derived by the present invention to control the powertrain, the primary power source need not expend a significant portion of its power to overcome the vehicle's inertia, and performance is not compromised.

Abstract: Embodiments are described for a system and method for testing a plurality of web resources, such as web sites and/or web servers in a distributed client-server computer network. Embodiments include a method of configuring a proxy server to forward incoming HTTP requests back to a fixed port on the IP address of the sender of the incoming HTTP request to effectively remove the requirement of domain name resolution from the test environment. A reflective proxy server reflects requests from a source IP address back to that same IP address on a specific port on the testing computer to permit the testing of arbitrary web site domain names without performing DNS resolution at any step in the process, thus removing the need to modify the testing computer's host's file.

Abstract: An automotive battery module with one or more battery cells and a coolant loss detection and remediation system cooperative with coolant that is configured to provide thermal management of the battery module. Coolant levels in or around the battery module may be detected, while cooperation with a controller permits corrective action in the event that a leakage of coolant is detected. The controller senses a coolant level sensor which is located in a coolant reservoir to determine when the coolant level drops below a predetermined level. When the coolant level is determined to be low, the controller reports the low level condition and takes remedial action. The controller also has a set of enablement conditions that must be satisfied before the controller senses the coolant level sensor.
