  • Control of vehicle side slip using yaw rate
    Patent number: 5480219
    Abstract: A required yaw rate value is determined based on driver inputs such as steering angle, master cylinder pressure, and throttle butterfly angle. The required yaw rate is compared to a measured actual yaw rate value and the actual yaw moment acceleration is influenced based on the comparison.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for detecting the reverse travel of a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 5436831
    Abstract: In a method for detecting the reverse travel of a motor vehicle, the yaw speed and a model yaw-speed are obtained and, with the aid of these variables as well as constants, a factor .THETA.t is determined, which is compared to preselected comparison values. From these comparisons, it is determined whether forward travel or reverse travel exists.

  • Method of automatic detection of cells and determination of cell features from cytological smear preparations
    Patent number: 4523278
    Abstract: A method and system for automatic detection of cells and determination of cell features from cytological smear preparations which can recognize cells and extract their features independently of known visual cell descriptions through digital classification in a data processing system confines evaluation of the cell to the cell nuclei.
