A control device for an electric motor having a first set of coil windings arranged to form a first sub motor and a second set of coil windings arranged to form a second sub motor, wherein current flow in the first set of coil windings is controlled using a first pulse width modulation, PWM, having a first switching sequence and current flow in the second set of coil windings is controlled using a second PWM having a second switching sequence, the control device comprising means arranged to measure the current flow in each of the first set of coil windings, wherein upon determining that the sum of the current flow in the first set of coil windings is substantially non zero, deriving the first PWM values from voltage values used to generate the second PWM.

Control device

A brake arrangement for a vehicle comprising a braking system arranged to vary hydraulic or pneumatic brake pressure that is arranged to apply a pressure to a brake caliper; an electric motor arranged to generate a braking torque that is applied to a first wheel when the electric motor is placed in a braking mode of operation, wherein the electric motor is arranged to vary brake torque generated when the electric motor is in the braking mode dependent upon a predetermined operating condition of the braking system.

Brake system

A control system for a vehicle having a first wheel () arranged to be driven by a first drive source and a second wheel () arranged to be driven by a second drive source, wherein the first wheel and the second wheel are transversely located on the vehicle, the control system comprising a controller () and a monitoring device, wherein the monitoring device is arranged to monitor the power differential between the power being applied to the first wheel by the first drive source and the power being applied to the second wheel by the second drive source, wherein upon a determination that the power differential between the power being applied to the first wheel and the second wheel is greater than a predetermined value, the controller is arranged to reduce the power differential.

Control system for a vehicle

A communications system comprises a transmitter, receiver and channel. The transmitter transmits multiple copies of each data bit in a multi-dimension modulation scheme matrix, the dimensions being selected from frequency, time and code. Each dimension is divided into sub-groups. A bit-loading method is used such that copies of each data bit (b, b, b) are allocated within the matrix according to a predetermined arrangement so that within each dimension copies of the same data bit reside within different sub-groups.

Communications system and bit-loading method used in a communications system

A suspension control system for a vehicle having a wheel () mounted to the vehicle via a suspension device mounted to a mounting point on the vehicle with an electric motor being arranged to apply to the wheel a torque for driving the wheel, the suspension control system comprising a controller arranged to modulate a torque applied to the wheel by the electric motor based on the relative longitudinal movement of the wheel with respect to the mounting point on the vehicle.
