Abstract:
A system (1, 401), monitoring device (5, 405) and computer implemented method to account for parking of a vehicle (3, 403) in a chargeable parking area (4, 404) or use of a vehicle (3, 403) in a toll area (406). The monitoring device (5, 405) is associated with the vehicle (3, 403) and may have one or more electronic circuits operable in a low power mode and a high power mode. A user input (19) may be associated with the monitoring device (5, 405) so that a user can confirm or deny that the vehicle (3, 403) is parked, or should be charged for parking in the chargeable parking area (4, 404), or should be charged for use of a vehicle in the toll area (406).
Abstract:
Permite proporcionar una transmisión directa, llevando la propulsión y tracción al propio conjunto de frenado del vehículo en cuestión, permitiendo además su actuación como sistema regenerativo durante los momentos de frenada, comprendiendo el sistema de transmisión (1): un disco de freno (3) que tiene un dentado (10) en su borde perimetral, actuando a modo de engranaje principal; una pinza de freno (4) acoplada al disco de freno(3) y que comprende al menos un motor eléctrico (30) montado sobre dicha pinza de freno (3); y donde el al menos un motor eléctrico (30) tiene un engranaje secundario (31) acoplado a su vez al dentado (10) del disco de freno (3) para su accionamiento y/o deceleración. De acuerdo con otro objeto de la invención se describe un vehículo que incorpora dicho sistema de transmisión (1).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to moving apparatus based on bearing points created by ends of lever arms with changeable length. The lever arm comprises two main components: body and end of lever arm. Lever arm body moves spirally or pendulously around the axis which is different from its axis, end of lever arm moves in and out along the lever arm body. The combination of movement of body and end of the lever arm creates bearing points of the apparatus on the terrain, thus creating capability to overcome barricades of the apparatus. Moreover, the combination of these two movements, when following appropriate principles, creates equilibrium for the frame of the apparatus on various terrains.
Abstract:
A drive system (1) for a vehicle includes an electric motor (12) and a gas turbine assembly (28). The electric motor (12) includes a rotor (16) coupled to a drive shaft (14). The gas turbine assembly (28) includes a turbine (30) including a turbine wheel (34) mounted on the drive shaft (14), a burner (70) that burns fuel and provides exhaust gas to drive the turbine wheel (34), and a compressor (50) that provides compressed air to the burner (70). The gas turbine assembly (28) is coupled to the drive shaft (14) of the electric motor (12). The drive system (1) also includes gear train unit (90) that has the drive shaft (14) as an input shaft, has an output shaft (94) connected to vehicle wheels (100), and transmits power from one of the electric motor (12) or gas turbine assembly (28) to the wheels (100).
