摘要： A drive configuration for a skid steered vehicle comprises a pair of electric motors for propulsion of the vehicle, one each coupled to drive a respective track on a respective side of the vehicle, and one or more electric steer motors coupled through a differential gear mechanism to impose a speed difference between the tracks. An associated control system controls the current to each motor so that substantial contributions to the differential torque to turn the vehicle are made both by the steer motors and by the propulsion motors, in variable proportions preferably as a function of the vehicle speed.

摘要： A self-energising brake assembly, particularly for braking a drive shaft of a heavy tracked vehicle such as a tank, has a pair of discs carrying friction pads borne to rotate with the shaft. These friction discs are located to either side of a central non-rotating water-cooled disc assembly. A control brake disc is also borne to rotate with the shaft but capable of turning relative to the same via a ball screw assembly. To apply the brake the control disc is retarded relative to the shaft by means of an associated caliper, which causes relative axial movement between the inner and outer rings of the ball screw. This movement drives the friction disc axially along the shaft, on a ball spline, towards the friction disc, thus clamping the non-rotating disc between the two friction discs and braking the shaft.

摘要： A method of finding an unknown value from within a range of values is disclosed that divides the range into weighted subranges and then, beginning with an arbitrary search value within the range, performs a number of simple comparisons to determine the value for each subrange that will result in a match with the target value. This method can also detect those cases where the target value lies outside the range. In one embodiment, the method of finding an unknown value within a range of values is applied to impedance matching. In this embodiment, the output impedance of a pin on an integrated circuit is automatically matched to the impedance of the load connected to it. The output driver has a controllable impedance that can be adjusted within a specific range of impedances to match the external load impedance it is to drive.

摘要： An SRAM memory cell is provided having a pair of cross-coupled CMOS inverters. The sources of the pull-up transistors forming each of the CMOS inverters are coupled to VCC through parasitic resistance of the substrate in which each is formed. The source of the p-type pull-up transistor is therefore always at a potential less than or equal to the potential of the N-well such that the emitter-base junction of the parasitic PNP transistor cannot become forward biased and latch-up cannot occur.
