Abstract: A series-parallel monorail hoist based on an oil-electric hybrid power and a controlling method thereof. The monorail hoist includes a cabin, a hydraulic driving system, a lifting beam, a gear track driving and energy storage system, and a speed adaptive control system connected in series with each other and travelling on a track. The monorail hoist is capable of implementing an independent drive by an electric motor or a diesel engine in an endurance mode, a hybrid drive of the electric motor and the diesel engine in a transportation mode, and a hybrid drive of the diesel engine and a flywheel energy storage system in a climbing mode, according to different operating conditions that include conditions of an upslope, a downslope and a load. Power requirements for the monorail hoist under various operating conditions are satisfied, and the excess energy is recovered during the process of travelling.

Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods are described herein for detecting unusually frequent exactly matching and nearly matching test responses. A plurality of test responses for each of a plurality of test takers is received. Evidence of a circulated key from the plurality of test responses is identified by detecting two or more test takers with exactly matching test responses for a plurality of questions. The strength of the evidence of the circulated key is analyzed by determining the probability that the two or more test takers would produce exactly matching test responses, wherein the strength of the evidence is inversely related to the probability. Test takers with nearly matching test responses to the circulated key are then identified. All test takers with exactly matching and nearly matching test responses are tagged for further investigation.

Abstract: Control techniques for an electrically all-wheel drive (eAWD) hybrid vehicle involve determining whether to transition from an electric-only mode to a parallel mode based on a driver torque request or a state of charge (SOC) of a battery system. During the electric-only mode, the electric motor is operated such that a torque reserve is maintained. When the driver torque request exceeds a maximum drive torque that the electric motor is capable of generating, the electric-only to parallel mode transition is performed. This involves the electric motor depleting the torque reserve to provide an expected acceleration feel for the driver while engine and transmission speeds are synchronized. When the SOC of the battery system falls below an SOC threshold, the drive torque of the electric motor is decreased to zero upon engine/transmission speed synchronization such that the battery system can be recharged.

Abstract: Control systems and methods for an electrically all-wheel drive (eAWD) hybrid vehicle utilize an input device/sensor configured to receive an operating parameter of the hybrid vehicle, the operating parameter relating to whether to perform a gear shift of a transmission, the transmission being configured to transfer drive torque from a first torque generating unit to only a first axle of the hybrid vehicle, and a controller configured to, based on the measured operating parameter, determine whether to perform a gear shift of the transmission, and while performing the gear shift of the transmission, control a second torque generating unit to compensate for a disturbance caused by the gear shift, the second torque generating unit being configured to provide drive torque to only a different second axle of the hybrid vehicle.
