Abstract:
The invention relates to a method, a device and a computer programme for control of a motor vehicle's propulsion whereby a clutch torque (Req T) is demanded by a driver by activation of an accelerator pedal, the degree of closure (G) of the vehicle's clutch actuator is controlled by feedback on the basis of a monitored engine torque and there is at least one further consumer (290) of engine power in addition to said propulsion. The method comprises the steps of detecting (s410) activation of said at least one further consumer and, when such activation is detected, changing (s420) said feedback control to open control whereby the degree of closure (G) of the vehicle's clutch actuator is based on a predetermined relationship between said degree of closure (G) and the clutch torque (Req T), which clutch torque (Req T) is demanded by the driver by a activation of an accelerator pedal.
Abstract:
A device (1) for use in the discharge of fumes (20) from an operating site (16), e.g. in laser surgery (17, 19), comprises a chamber (3) which is defined by a body (2) and has a bottom opening (4) to be placed over the operating site (16) for conducting fumes (20) emitted therefrom into the chamber (3), and a working opening (5) substantially opposite to the bottom opening (4) for providing access to the operating site (16) through the chamber (3) and the bottom opening (4). A first end (8) of an exhaust duct (7) opens in the vicinity of the chamber (3), and a second end (9) of the exhaust duct is adapted to be connected to a negative pressure for sucking off fumes (20) conducted into the chamber (3). One or more air passages (10-13) extending from the outside of the body (2) and separate from the bottom and working openings (4, 5). These separate air passages (10-13), as well as the first end (8) of the exhaust duct (7), open in the chamber (3) between the bottom opening (4) and the working opening (5) at two opposite sides of the chamber (3). Thus, a lid of laminar air flows (10', 11', 12', 13') is formed in the chamber (3), thus preventing leakage of fumes through the working opening (5).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for automatic disconnection of the propulsion of a motor vehicle (100; 110) by means of a clutch (240) in a power train of the vehicle. The method comprises the steps of continuously determining a prevailing driving force (Fdriv) for propulsion of the vehicle (100; 110), and automatically opening said clutch (240) when said driving force (Fdriv) exceeds a predetermined value (THforce), in order to disconnect the vehicle's propulsion. The invention relates also to a computer programme product containing programme code (P) for a computer (200; 210) to implement a method according to the invention. The invention relates also to a device for automatic disconnection of the propulsion of a motor vehicle (100; 110) by means of the clutch (240) in the vehicle's power train and to a motor vehicle (100; 110) which is equipped with the device.
