A method for assisting a user of a vehicle, in which driving-condition variables (v, a, q, ω, n) are sensed or ascertained via sensors of the vehicle, and a camera of the vehicle covers a coverage area of a road scene at least in front of the vehicle and outputs image signals. Based on the image signals, it is determined whether a further vehicle which is outputting blinking signals is in the coverage area. As a function of the ascertained driving-condition variables (v, a, q, ω, n) of the vehicle and as a function of the determination as to whether other vehicles are indicating a change of direction, information signals, particularly warning signals, are able to be output to the user and / or an automatic driver-assistance control is able to be implemented in which control signals for interventions in a vehicle control for a longitudinal control and / or lateral control, especially a distance control, are output. In this context, in each case different possible control interventions are able to be ascertained and carried out. Furthermore, a corresponding control device and the vehicle thereby made possible are provided.

A device and method for launching a projectile, such as a golf ball, across a range. The device enables a golf ball to be launched across a golf course with greater control than is possible with a traditional golf club. The ease of loading the projectile into the launching device and swinging the launching device forward adds greater distance to the projectile due to an increase in angular momentum and back spin on the projectile. The device includes a C-shaped head defined by a nest, a pair of lateral retention arms, and a base. A distal portion is longer than a proximal portion to create backspin on the projectile. The concavity and lateral arms hold the projectile in place. The distal and proximal portions terminate at concave points that grip dimples on the projectile. The base is fixedly attached to a shaft, which is used for swinging the head.

Generation of a test based on a test template comprising of branch instructions. The test template may be a layout test template, defining a set of possible control flows possibilities between template instructions in the layout test template. The test is generated by a test generator which may simulate a state of a target computerized system executing the test. The simulation may be performed during generation of the test. The test generator may further verify previously generated instructions. The test generator may further generate instructions associated with leftover template instructions.

The invention provides a prevention control and emergent state aid decision-making method for multiple safety and stability constrains, which comprises the following steps: when a power grid has an emergent state and a safety and stability problem of expected faults, carrying out emergent state aid decision-making calculation; classifying safety problems according to the strength of coupling degrees, and carrying out different types of aid decision-making calculation in a parallel mode so as to improve calculation speed; carrying out the same type of aid decision-making calculation by adopting a serial mode, and taking sensitivity information output by the calculation as stability constrains by sequent aid decision-making calculation to carry out calculation; combining control measures which are finally obtained according to importance indexes and sensitivity; and adopting recursion iteration to solve conflict problems of possible control schemes. In the method, the prevention control, the emergent state aid decision-making and the multiple safety and stability constrains are decoupled, and the method of decomposition coordination and recursion iteration is adopted to solve the problem of complex high-dimensional non-linear planning, so that optimized aid decision-making control measures meeting practical engineering requirements can be obtained.

A control unit of a vehicle control system estimates running-condition of a vehicle for a predetermined estimation period. A fuel-amount estimating portion estimates an engine condition related to a cooling efficiency, based on the estimated running condition. The control unit estimates multiple possible control patterns and calculates evaluation values related to the cooling efficiency for respective cases, in which a compressor is operated in accordance with each of the control patterns. The control unit selects one of control patterns to actually operate the compressor in accordance with the selected control pattern, so that fuel consuming amount can be reduced.
