A method to identify a water flow anomaly in a system having first and second water using devices to generate baseline data that preferably has water use signatures and corresponding water pressure information regarding the water using devices; comparing the baseline data with actual water usage signatures and corresponding actual water pressure information to identify a flow anomaly with the water using devices; and providing information on the flow anomaly to an individual. It is especially contemplated that baseline data are generated for multiple devices coupled to a common water supply system, with baseline data from two or more water using devices compared against future water use patterns of the same devices. Apparatus to accomplish these tasks is preferably housed in an irrigation controller, which may be advantageously coupled to a flow meter.

A multimedia information and control system in a vehicle enables a user to access information concerning the vehicle and to control vehicle functions in an efficient manner. In addition, the system monitors usage of vehicle components, and alerts a user when it is time to service the components, thereby properly maintaining the components. The alert may comprise a textual, audio and / or visual message.

A system for supervising the landing of an aircraft by a supervisor in a control station, each of the aircraft being incapable of being controlled by any personnel onboard, the system comprises a control station and onboard aircraft control apparatus. The station includes an input device, responsive to the supervisor, for producing a control signal for controlling the landing of the aircraft; and a transmitting device, coupled to the input device, for communication with the aircraft. The aircraft apparatus includes a receiving device for communication with the station; a logic device, coupled to the receiving device, for controlling the aircraft which is programmed to pilot the aircraft to the vicinity of the airfield. The control signal is selected by the supervisor, based on the supervisor's observations of the aircraft and is transmitted to the logic device; in response thereto, the logic device controls the aircraft.

Method and device for assisting the piloting of an aircraft.The device (1) comprises means (4) for determining, using a roll instruction and measured current values of external characteristics and of flight characteristics of the aircraft, a predicted path which is a flight path having a constant roll angel, taking account of the effect of the wind.

A system comprising a first expander device and a second expander device. The first expander device and the second expander device comprise a subtractive port and a table mapped port and are suitable for coupling a first serial attached SCSI controller to a second serial attached SCSI controller. The first and second expander devices are cross-coupled via a redundant physical connection.

The invention relates to a method for visualizing the input and display components of terminal equipment. The terminal equipment includes the said input component for controlling the operations of the terminal equipment and the display component. The terminal equipment (10) has at least two states, of which in the first, open, state, the terminal equipment implements the operations directed to it through the input component and in which second, locked, state, the terminal equipment does not implement the operations directed to it through the input component but instead implements an indicator effect in the input and / or the display component in order to visualize the input and / or the display component.

An input device. The input device may be coupled to an electronic device. The input device comprises a control capable of being moved to n activation points to respectively activate input functions, wherein n is an integer larger than or equal to ten. When activated, the input functions respectively enable n digits to be input to the electronic device.

A method and device for determining a vectorial vehicle velocity by estimating a mean value for the vehicle velocity by using a position-finding device to obtain a first value, and to then compare this first value with a second value estimated using inertial sensors.

A pyrotechnic composition includes a fuel, an oxidizer, flow and rate control agents and oleoresin capsicum as an irritant. The composition is useful in crowd control products. The composition contains rate control ingredients to maintain combustion at a temperature below the point of degradation of the oleoresin capsicum, balanced with a booster material to maintain combustion.

A control system for providing an assist torque is provided. The control system includes a control algorithm module and a comfort limit module. The control algorithm module calculates a corrective steering torque based on a target vehicle state and an estimated vehicle state. The comfort limit module receives a handwheel torque. The comfort limit module calculates a limited corrective steering torque based on the corrective steering torque and the handwheel torque. The limited steering torque represents an allowable amount of the assist torque provided by the control system.

A vehicle instrument panel apparatus includes a communication unit configured to receive a widget or content transmitted from one or more user terminals, an instrument panel page constituted of a plurality of instrument panel containers in which the widget or content is embedded, a converting unit configured to generate data capable of being embedded in the instrument panel containers according to a type of the received widget or content, an execution unit configured to load the instrument panel page to a screen, a sensing data acquiring unit configured to acquire measurement information input through one or more sensors, and an interface unit configured to combine the measurement information acquired by the sensing data acquiring unit with the instrument panel page loaded by the execution unit.
