  • Publication number: 20220107714
    Abstract: A system for generating and synchronously executing a multiplayer scenario, in one of a virtual, mixed and augmented reality environment and having a visual programming module allowing generation and management of at least one of an asset of a scenario and a visual acyclic relation action graph defined by a plurality of nodes and a network module configured to connect a plurality of clients over a network for synchronized execution of the nodes of the acyclic relation action graph. The network module operates using a network protocol including an identity component including a unique asset identifier and an asset container for each asset of the scenario and being replicable on the plurality of clients; and a node component defining a unique node identifier and a node container for each node of the visual acyclic relation action graph and being replicable on the plurality of clients.

  • Publication number: 20180229713
    Abstract: A series-hybrid powertrain includes a range extender, a battery, an electric motor and a controller. The range extender may include an internal combustion engine and a generator. The powertrain has three modes of operation. In electric only mode, the battery powers the motor and the range extender is not allowed to operate. In forced charge mode, the range extender attempts to power the drive motor and also re-charge the battery if the battery is discharged to, or is found below, a specified charge. In hybrid mode, the range extender is operated by a controller that determines the output of the range extender in hybrid mode considering inputs that relate to the state of charge of the battery and the power consumption of the electric motor. Optionally, the controller uses fuzzy logic to determine the output of the range extender. The powertrain may be used in an industrial vehicle.
