  • Publication number: 20240389506
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a mobile vehicle, in particular for cutting lawns or gardens, comprising a support frame (3), a driving station (4), at least one work tool (5) carried below by said support frame (3) for performing a process on land to be maintained, and a command device (7), such as a joystick, operable by the operator seated in said driving station (4), for determining a movement of the vehicle. The vehicle comprises a right drive wheel and a left drive wheel as well as a first and a second electric motor (9a), independent of each other, coupled to the first and the second wheel respectively and powered by a battery pack (10); a controller (50) is configured for receiving at least one command signal from the command device (7) and consequently commanding the two electric motors. In one aspect, the controller (50) can, upon detection of emergency signals, command the locking of the electric motors active on the wheels, and of the electric motor(s) active on the work tool (5).

  • Publication number: 20150292467
    Abstract: A plasma ignition device for internal combustion engines is described. It comprises a driving and analog and/or digital control unit, an ignition coil and a spark plug, interconnected each other in a circuit by means of electrical/electronic connection means. The ignition coil comprises two primary windings connected in series each other, having a central electrical connection between the first primary winding and the second primary winding, for electrically charging a capacitor, connected in series to the two primary windings, and for magnetically charging a magnetic core magnetically coupled to a secondary winding of the ignition coil, in order to generate a potential difference across a discharge “gap” of a spark plug.
