Abstract: An aircraft propeller control system for an aircraft propeller with adjustable blade angle has a blade angle feedback ring and a sensor, one of which is mounted for rotation with the propeller. The blade angle feedback ring moves longitudinally along with adjustment of the blade angle and has position markers circumferentially spaced apart at distances that vary along a longitudinal axis. The sensor is positioned adjacent the feedback ring for producing signals indicative of passage of the position markers. Intervals between signals are indicative of circumferential distances between position markers. A controller measures longitudinal position of the feedback ring based on the intervals and is configured to produce a warning signal if the longitudinal position is outside a first threshold range.

Abstract: A vehicle power supply device acquires a state of a vehicle, controls a first switch disposed between an auxiliary power supply and a second load to be in a disconnected state in a case where the vehicle is in a predetermined state including ignition off, and controls the first switch to be in a connected state in a case where the vehicle is in a predetermined automatic driving state among automatic driving states including partial and conditional automatic driving.

Abstract: A method for bypass alert, the method includes (i) obtaining sensed information about an environment of the vehicle, by one of more vehicle sensors of a vehicle. The environment of the vehicle includes a passing lane and a current lane; (ii) determining whether a driver initiates a bypass of another vehicle to be bypassed, by a first machine learning process (MLP), based on at least one out of vehicle parameters and the sensed information (iii) determining that the vehicle entered the passing lane; (iv) determining, by a second (MLP), a determined time to collision (TTC) to an incoming vehicle that is located at the passing lane and drives towards the vehicle; (v) determining, based on at least on the determined TTC and an allowable TTC to provide a safety parameter of the bypass; and (vi) responding to the safety parameter.

Abstract: A method for checking a vehicle includes receiving measured data by an electronic computing device which is external to the vehicle and which is different from the vehicle. The measured data are received from a measurement device which is different from the vehicle and different from the electronic computing device and the measured data characterize an acceleration of the vehicle recorded by the measurement device and/or a noise of the vehicle recorded by the measurement device and/or an image of a subregion of the vehicle recorded by the measurement device. The received measured data are evaluated by the electronic computing device and the vehicle is checked for a malfunction based on the evaluating of the received measured data by the electronic computing device.

Abstract: A vehicle drive assist apparatus includes a surrounding-condition-information acquiring unit that acquires surrounding condition information, a vehicle-state-information acquiring unit that acquires vehicle state information, a light-distribution control processor that executes light distribution control, a traveling control processor that executes traveling control in accordance with traffic lane designation, a DDI detector that detects a DDI in a front region based on the surrounding condition information and determines whether the vehicle is entering or exiting from the DDI based on the surrounding condition information and the vehicle state information, and a control switch. When the vehicle entering the DDI is detected, the control switch switches the traveling control and the light distribution control from standard traveling control to non-standard traveling control.
