摘要:
A method and apparatus for continuously or repeatedly monitoring road surface friction utilizes a separate test wheel (101) attached to a vehicle and in contact with a road surface and a device for detecting slippage of the test wheel (101) resulting from applying either a braking or accelerating torque on the test wheel (101). A signal corresponding to the applied braking or accelerating torque at the moment slip is detected and used to provide an indication to the driver of the slip condition. The method and apparatus is useful in vehicles as well as aircraft or in other applications where it is desired to monitor road friction.

Porte-ski portatif (220) comprenant un élément de base rigide (208), une poignée (209) dépassant de la partie centrale de l'élément de base, et au moins une mâchoire. Chaque mâchoire comprend préférablement un élément latéral externe (204) qui s'étend depuis une partie latérale de l'élément de base, et un élément latéral interne (206) positionné entre l'élément latéral externe et la poignée et qui s'étend pratiquement verticalement à partir de l'élément de base parallèlement à l'élément latéral externe. La poignée peut tourner par rapport à l'élément de base, un élément de came (216) est monté sur la poignée et tourne avec cette dernière depuis une première position neutre jusqu'à une deuxième position dans laquelle il commande les parties supérieures d'au moins un des éléments latéraux internes et externes vers l'autre élément afin de fermer la mâchoire (sens de la flèche B).

The method and apparatus is useful in vehicles as well as aircraft or in other applications where it is desired to monitor road friction. An embodiment of the invention applies and maintains a measured vertical force to the surface of the test wheel of the friction monitor utilizing an electromagnetic force field under processor control. The processor can combine signals from the vertical force torque motor circuit, and the test wheel torque motor circuit.

摘要:
A hand-held ski carrier (220) includes a rigid base member (208), a handle (209) projecting from a central portion of the base member, and at least one jaw. Each jaw preferably comprises an outer side member (204) which extends from a lateral side portion of the base member, and an inner side member (206) which is disposed between the outer side member and the handle and which extends generally vertically from the base member in parallel with the outer side member. The handle is rotatable with respect to the base member, and a cam member (216) is mounted on the handle and is adapted to rotate with the handle from a first, neutral position to a second position in which it drives the upper portions of at least one of the inner and outer side members towards the other member to close the jaw (direction of arrow B).
