  • Patent number: 9936918
    Abstract: A method of providing a metal coating on a substrate (10), and electrically insulating sections/parts of the metal coated substrate from each other. A substrate is provided with an insulating material in the substrate, the insulating first material extending through the thickness of the substrate and protruding above one surface of the substrate. It forms an enclosed section/portion (14) of the substrate. A protective structure (15) is provided on the insulating material such that it covers the entire circumference thereof. The insulating material is selectively etched to create an under-etch (18) under the protective structure. Finally conductive material (19) is deposited to provide a metal coating over the substrate, whereby the under-etch will provide a disruption in the deposited metal coating, thereby electrically insulating the enclosed section from the surrounding substrate.

  • Publication number: 20170305431
    Abstract: A method to control a powertrain in a vehicle during an acceleration is provided, the powertrain including a propulsion unit, a multi-clutch transmission drivingly connected to the propulsion unit, and a control unit for controlling at least the powertrain components, which control unit is provided with a prediction model including at least one simulated shift sequence for the multi-clutch transmission. The method involves monitoring at least one operating parameter of the powertrain; estimating the time (tE) between initiation of a first power upshift and initiation of a sequential second power upshift using the prediction model; and, if the estimated time is shorter than a predetermined time limit (tLIM), controlling the propulsion unit to limit the vehicle acceleration so that the time between the first and second power upshifts is increased to be at least equal to the predetermined time limit (tLIM).

  • Publication number: 20170185080
    Abstract: Various aspects provide for “parking” an apparatus in a parking configuration. A parking configuration may be a configuration of an apparatus that minimizes damage (e.g., corrosion, wear, and the like) resulting from extended exposure during periods of inactivity. An apparatus may comprise a propulsion system (e.g., for a ship) and/or a steering system. An apparatus may comprise a linkage or other device positioned by an actuator. Some aspects include a water jet based propulsion system having a scoop and a nozzle operable to redirect the water jet, providing a range of forward/backward and port/starboard thrusts.

  • Publication number: 20170144663
    Abstract: A cruise control arrangement is provided with a cruise control speed function and where the cruise control arrangement is provided with a set cruise speed value and a set brake cruise speed value, and where the cruise control brake function is active when the vehicle travels downhill, where the cruise control arrangement is adapted to activate at least one auxiliary brake when the vehicle speed reaches the set brake cruise speed, to apply a service brake of the vehicle in order to reduce the speed of the Vehicle to a predefined first speed if the vehicle speed exceeds the set brake cruise speed when the least one auxiliary brake is delivering full brake power, where the predefined first speed is lower than the set brake cruise speed. Undesired acceleration during downhill travel can be avoided when the brake power of the auxiliary brake is not sufficient. Further, a required downshift can be delayed, which will improve the fuel consumption of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20170129467
    Abstract: A cruise control arrangement for a vehicle is provided with a cruise control brake function that is set to a brake cruise speed. The cruise control arrangement is adapted to activate at least one auxiliary brake when the vehicle speed reaches the set brake cruise speed, and at the same time to apply a service brake of the vehicle to keep the speed of the vehicle at the set brake cruise speed, and is further adapted to decrease the brake power of the service brake at the same time as the brake power of the at least one auxiliary brake increases, such that the speed of the vehicle is kept at the set brake cruise speed. The speed of the vehicle can be held at the set cruise speed when an auxiliary brake is activated, regardless of the activation time of the auxiliary brake. In this way, an overshoot in speed can be avoided during the activation time of the auxiliary brake.

  • Publication number: 20170110021
    Abstract: A vehicle driver feedback system includes a control unit and a display unit. The control unit is arranged for registering a driver-influenced vehicle driving parameter and the display unit is positioned in the vehicle and arranged for displaying information to the vehicle driver. The control unit further is arranged for: iteratively calculating and storing at least one score value based on the at least one driver-influenced vehicle driving parameter, wherein the at least one score value reflects a magnitude of driver-induced energy waste; driver-induced fuel waste; driver-induced vehicle wear; unsafe driving; or a weighted combination of at least two thereof, and displaying on the display unit during driving of the vehicle a graphical score value development over time or relative to the travelled route as feedback to the vehicle driver.
