20110301787 | METHOD OF SYNCHRONIZED CONTROL OF ELECTRIC MOTORS OF A REMOTE- CONTROLLED ROTARY WING DRONE SUCH AS A QUADRICOPTER - Each motor is controlled by a microcontroller and the set of microcontrollers is driven by a central controller. According to the invention, said method comprises: a preliminary step consisting at least in establishing an asynchronous serial communications link over a line between the central controller and each of the microcontrollers, and in allocating an address parameter to each microcontroller; and in operation, at least a control step proper consisting: i) for the central controller, in sending simultaneously on each link line a message containing at least one instruction specified by the address parameter of a destination microcontroller that is to execute said instruction; and ii) for each destination microcontroller, in extracting the instruction addressed thereto from said message, and executing it. | 12-08-2011 |

20120188068 | Vehicle Gauge for Displaying Electric Mode Status and Method of Doing the Same - A vehicle gauge and method for displaying an electric mode status of a vehicle that can operate in both an electric mode and one or more alternative modes. According to one exemplary embodiment, the method evaluates a number of throttle and non-throttle conditions and allocates portions of the total range of the vehicle gauge to these conditions. Based on these allocations, the method determines an overall vehicle gauge position that is representative of the electric mode status of the vehicle and provides this to the vehicle gauge so that the electric mode status can be displayed to the driver. | 07-26-2012 |

20130096744 | STAND ALONE ENGINE SPEED CONTROL AT COLD START FOR HYBRID TRANSMISSION - A hybrid powertrain includes and internal combustion engine, an energy storage device, an electro-mechanical transmission having at least one electric machine rotatably coupled to the engine. The electro-mechanical transmission is selectively controllably operative to transmit torque among the engine and the at least one electric machine. A method to start operation of the internal combustion engine includes initiating rotation of a crankshaft of the engine with the at least one electric machine until a first predetermined crankshaft speed is achieved, firing the engine while controlling engine speed with the at least one electric machine until a flare threshold occurs, controlling the engine speed without any interaction from the at least one electric machine based on controlling combustion parameters of the engine, and when a predetermined condition occurs, controlling the engine speed with the at least one electric machine while the engine is still firing. | 04-18-2013 |
20130124025 | METHOD OF OPERATING A HYBRID POWERTRAIN - A method of operating a hybrid powertrain including an engine, an electric motor and a high voltage battery includes preventing fuel flow to the engine when the high voltage battery includes a state of charge at or above a pre-defined upper limit, and when the hybrid powertrain is operating in a second fueling condition in which fuel flow to the engine is preferably maintained. The engine is rotated with torque supplied by the electric motor to maintain rotation of the engine without producing any engine torque. | 05-16-2013 |

20150046456 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR POINT CLOUD DATA PROCESSING - Methods and apparatus are provided for processing data representing three-dimensional points organized in a data structure wherein each point has multiple components, the data is organized in a respective layer per component, each layer is segmented in cells of a two-dimensional grid, the cells are arranged such that the components of a given point are contained in corresponding cells of multiple layers, the cells are grouped in patches by layer, and the patches are arranged such that the components of an array of points is represented by corresponding patches of multiple layers. At least one first criterion and at least one second criterion are obtained. Data are retrieved from cells of patches meeting the at least one first criterion and from layers meeting the at least one second criterion. The retrieved data are processed to obtain a derivative data set. | 02-12-2015 |

20120190480 | GOLF AID YARDAGE ESTIMATOR - A golf aid display includes a display defining a length axis and a perpendicular width axis. A target or green is displayed adjacent one end of the display. An elongated fairway extends from a position adjacent the green to an opposite end and along the length axis of the display. A plurality of distance indicators increase in increments from the green along the length axis and width axis of the display. A plurality of distance arcs curve circumferentially a radial distance from the green corresponding to equal length and width distance indicators. The arcs intersect the corresponding length axis perpendicularly. | 07-26-2012 |
