Abstract: A target vehicle, for example a two-wheeled vehicle, for mounting onto an ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) testing platform is provided. The target vehicle comprises one or more sensors and an actuation assembly comprising an actuator. The sensors are arranged to measure a parameter relating to the dynamics of the target vehicle and may for example comprise accelerometers. The actuation assembly adjusts the tilt of the target vehicle in dependence on the output of the sensor(s), for example by means of a control unit. The tilting of the vehicle during cornering may thus be simulated. The measuring of such a parameter and the adjusting of the tilt may be conducted remotely from the testing platform. The sensor(s), control unit and actuator assembly may be self-contained within the target vehicle. A method of modeling a VRU (Vulnerable Road User) for ADAS testing is also provided.

Abstract: A flying leads assembly includes a flying lead having an inner layer which forms a liquid passage and an outer layer which acts as a sacrificial layer in use, thereby allowing integrity of the passage to be maintained for a long period of time. A further layer is provided intermediate the inner and outer layers which can be used to provide support to the assembly. The flying lead assembly, or a number of assemblies, are then located in a guide with lubricant material.

Abstract: A centrifuge apparatus includes a plurality of modules, each including a rotatable body, housing and flying leads, assembly. The modules can be selectively interconnected to allow adaptation of the processing capacity of the apparatus to process a liquid to remove components therefrom and/or to process a number of different liquids and allow the separation of one or more types of components therefrom simultaneously.

Abstract: Apparatus used to allow separation of one or more components from a liquid supplied to the apparatus and then, following use of the apparatus, the one or more separated components can be used for further purposes. The apparatus includes a rotatable shaft to which is mounted one or more columns which rotate with the shaft and which also rotate about their own axes and through which the liquid passes. The columns are provided with liquid from flying lead assemblies and the invention provides improved connecting means between the columns and flying lead assemblies to allow the same to be modular. An improved cooling system is also disclosed.
