Water vehicle braking display apparatus

A water vehicle braking display apparatus for a vehicle at least one part of which has a repeating electrical signal pattern when operational, the apparatus including

• at least one sensor associated with the at least one part of the vehicle having the repeating pattern to measure input information in a time period, t, relating to the repeating electrical signal pattern,
• a controller comparing the input information in the time period, t, to the input information in time period, t−1, to detect changes in the input information, and setting a predetermined change in the input information to trigger a signal,
• a signal generator to generate a signal based upon changes detected in the repeating electrical signal pattern by the controller, and
• a display mounted for at least visual display and operable to produce a display upon receipt that a change has occurred in the repeating pattern from the signal generator.

A water vehicle braking display apparatus for a vehicle having a throttle assembly, the apparatus including

• at least one sensor means associated with the throttle assembly and adapted to measure input information in a time period, t, relating to throttle position,
• a controller comparing the input information in the time period, t, to the input information in time period, t−1, to detect changes in the input information, and setting a predetermined change in the input information to trigger a signal,
• a signal generator to generate a signal based upon changes detected in the throttle position by the controller, and
• a display mounted for at least visual display and operable to produce a display upon receipt that a change has occurred in the throttle position from the signal generator.

A method for operating a braking display apparatus for a vehicle, the method including

• a. providing at least one sensor adapted to detect changes in input information,
• b. measuring the input information in a time period, t,
• c. comparing the input information in the time period, t, to the input information in time period, t−I, to detect changes in the input information,
• d. setting a predetermined change in the input information to trigger a signal,
• e. providing a signal generator to generate the signal based upon steps b) and c), and
• providing a display mounted for at least visual display and operable to produce a display upon receipt that a change has occurred in the input information from the signal generator.

A method for operating a braking display apparatus for a vehicle at least one part of which has a repeating pattern when operational and which is substantially proportional to the velocity for the vehicle in use, the method including

• a. providing at least one sensor associated with the at least one part of the vehicle having a repeating pattern,
• b. measuring the repeating pattern the repeating pattern in a time period, t,
• c. comparing the repeating pattern in the time period, t, to the repeating pattern in time period, t−I, to detect changes in the repeating pattern,
• d. setting a predetermined change in the repeating pattern to trigger a signal,
• e. providing a signal generator to generate the signal based upon steps b) and c), and
• providing a display mounted for at least visual display and operable to produce a display upon receipt that a change has occurred in the repeating pattern from the signal generator.
