A method for operating a combine harvester configured with a number of working assemblies driven by at least one belt drive, and a ground drive, wherein the at least one belt drive and the ground drive are driven by a main drive comprising an engine, monitors for and accommodates slip. The working assemblies are monitored by sensors with respect to an occurrence of slip in the at least one belt drive. Signals representing slip are transmitted to a control device. The control device is connected to an input/output. The signals representing the slip are evaluated by the control device and the result is weighted. Depending on the weighting of the result, at least one measure is initiated by the control device, which results in a reduction of the slip and the at least one initiated measure is signalled by the input/output unit.

A car navigation system is disclosed. The disclosed car navigation system performs a route search, map storage, and the like by using a mobile device and displays a performance result by transmitting the performance result to a display device equipped in a vehicle.

A combine that can accurately measure the weight of grain retained in a grain tank is provided. When a weight measurement signal is output from a measurement switch 66, a weight measurement decision unit 75 instructs a working state determination unit 71 to perform working state determination. If it is determined that the combine is in the working state, the weight measurement decision unit 75 does not instruct a load cell 39 to perform weight measurement.

A braking force (BF) control system includes: a first required BF calculator that calculates, based on a position of the brake pedal, a first required friction BF allocated to the friction brake and a first required regenerative BF allocated to regenerative control of the drive motor; a second required BF calculator that calculates, based on a position of the acceleration pedal, a second required friction BF allocated to the friction brake and a second required regenerative BF allocated to the regenerative control; a regenerative total BF calculation/execution portion that calculates a regenerative total BF based on the first and second required regenerative BFs and performs the regenerative control based on the regenerative total BF; and a friction total BF calculation/execution portion that calculates a friction total BF based on the first and second required friction BFs and controls the friction brake based on the friction total BF.

The present disclosure relates to the secure transmission of an aircraft trajectory that is to be flown or that has been flown. A ground-referenced description of the trajectory of the aircraft expressed in ground-referenced parameters is converted, using a description of an imaginary atmospheric model describing imaginary atmospheric conditions along the trajectory, into an air-referenced description of the aircraft trajectory expressed in air-referenced parameters. For decryption, knowledge of the imaginary atmospheric conditions allows the air-referenced description of the aircraft trajectory to be converted back into the ground-referenced description of the aircraft trajectory. Thus, the ground-referenced trajectory may be though of as the plain text, the imaginary atmospheric model as the cipher key and the air-referenced trajectory as the cipher text.

A working machine includes: an operation state detection unit configured to detect a physical amount output according to an operation of an operation lever; a time integration unit configured to calculate a time integration value by performing time integration of the physical amount; a determination unit configured to cause the time integration value and a predetermined operating angle of an excavating and loading mechanism associated with the operation of the operation lever to correspond to each other, and to determine that the operation of the operation lever has been performed at a time the time integration value becomes a predetermined integration value or more; and a counting unit configured to count at a time operations of the excavating and loading mechanism determined by the determination unit are performed in a predetermined order, number of times of excavating and loading work.

A motor initialization method for an electric booster brake system may include: determining, by a control unit, whether a key on signal of a vehicle is inputted; turning on a warning light and determining a battery voltage state of the vehicle, when the key on signal is inputted; and performing a motor initialization mode according to the determined battery voltage state.

The vehicle control apparatus gives a control current to the electromagnetic control valve at a start of energization of the electromagnetic control valve as a start current value smaller by a first determined amount than an open/closed state change-over reference current value which is necessary for changing over a state of the electromagnetic valve and after the start of energization of the electromagnetic control valve, the control current gradually increases with a smaller increase inclination than an increase inclination of an increase control of the control current which gives priority to a control responsibility of the electromagnetic control valve and finishes a gradual increase of the control current applying to the electromagnetic control valve, when the control current exceeds a finish current value which is larger than the open/closed state change-over reference current value.

A commercial vehicle comprises a functional arrangement comprising at least one drive motor for providing at least one working or operating function and a parameterisable electronic control arrangement configured to control the functional arrangement depending on a parameter dataset stored in the control arrangement. A data memory is provided, which is rigidly attached in the vehicle, separate from the control arrangement and in which at least one dataset relevant to the vehicle is stored or can be stored. The control arrangement is configured to read data of the dataset relevant to the vehicle from the data memory and/or to write data to the data memory for recording in the dataset relevant to the vehicle or to update the dataset relevant to the vehicle.

A regenerative braking control method. An illustrative embodiment of the method includes selecting a vehicle speed at onset of transition from regenerative braking to friction braking of a vehicle, comparing the vehicle speed to a threshold value, applying a delayed regenerative braking torque ramp out to a hybrid powertrain and sending an undelayed regenerative braking torque ramp-out signal to a vehicle brake controller without at onset of transition from regenerative braking to friction braking of the vehicle if the vehicle speed falls below the threshold value.
