Abstract: A handlebar for controlling a travelling direction of a vehicle, the handlebar comprising: a transverse support for mounting to a vehicle, the transverse support extending substantially along a first axial direction; a first grippable element extending from a first end of the transverse support, the first grippable element including a free end; wherein the first grippable element comprises an attachment portion configured to receive a mounting arrangement for mounting an attachment to the first grippable element, and wherein the attachment portion has a substantially aerofoil-shaped profile in a plane parallel to a second axial direction, said second axial direction substantially perpendicular to the first axial direction.

Abstract: A first method of predicting the range of an electric vehicle comprises, determining a range value during a current vehicle operating cycle using a first range model, wherein the first range model is dependent on an energy consumption rate value recorded during a previous vehicle operating cycle. A second method of predicting the range of an electric vehicle comprises, monitoring a trailer detecting means of the vehicle; and determining a first range value if the trailer detecting means detects that a trailer is attached to the vehicle.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a system, comprising, an electromechanical platform for positioning and orienting a collectible to capture a plurality of images by an image capturing device of at least a first side and a second side of the collectible, a computer comprising at least one processor comprising computer-executable instructions stored on one or more computer-readable media, wherein the computer is operable to receive the plurality of images of the collectible, at least one processing routine comprising an image processing algorithm for a condition assessment of the collectible applied to at least one image from the plurality of images by at least one processor to obtain a raw data of the condition of the collectible, a device for encapsulating the collectible in a tamper proof casing and stamping at least one or more labels on the tamper proof casing, wherein the stamping of the at least one or more labels is at a specified location on the tamper proof casing; and wherein the system is operable to be fully

Abstract: Water is supplied from a mains water supply station to a main supply conduit which feeds a plurality of regional supply networks, via respective pressure reducing valves, at respective regional pressures. Each regional supply network has a boundary value for a parameter related to a property of the water, which may be water pressure or concentration of a water treatment agent. Each network has a critical point at which the value of the parameter is deemed least acceptable. Water supply characteristics in respect of each regional supply network are monitored and the water supplied into the main supply conduit is processed to ensure acceptable values of the parameter are maintained at each critical point.

Abstract: A hybrid motor vehicle (10) has a four wheel drive arrangement in which the front wheels (12 and 13) are driven by the engine (11) in two wheel drive mode and all four wheels (12-15) in four wheel drive mode. The engine is connected to the rear wheels (14 and 15) through an auxiliary driveline which includes a first clutch (22) to connect to the engine (11), a propshaft (23) and a differential (25). An electric motor (28) is connected to the propshaft (23) for the purpose of driving the vehicle either with or without the assistance of the engine (11). A second clutch (27) is located between the propshaft (23) and the differential (25). When the vehicle is in two wheel drive mode, the propshaft (23) is disconnected from both the engine (11) and the rear wheels (14 and 15) and on switching to four wheel drive mode when the vehicle is moving the propshaft (23) is firstly spun up to a speed matching that of the engine (11) and rear wheels (14, 15) by the action of the electric motor (28).
