Method Of Using A Pto Clutch For Auxiliary Load Measurement
view source
US Patent:

7252623, Aug 7, 2007
Filed:

Aug 3, 2005
Appl. No.:

11/196132
Inventors:

Duane Fredrick Meyer - Hudson IA, US
Joel Lee Mason - Cedar Falls IA, US
Daniel Avery Allen - Waterloo IA, US
Bradley Allen Merrill - Dike IA, US
Assignee:

Deere & Company - Moline IL
International Classification:

B60W 10/02
US Classification:

477176, 477107
Abstract:

A method is provided wherein when an auxiliary device is being powered by the PTO driveline the PTO clutch is periodically slowly ramped down in pressure until slippage is detected in the clutch. Slippage is determined by monitoring the shaft speed into the clutch as well as the shaft speed downstream of the clutch. By determining the commanded pressure where slippage occurred, the equivalent engine power that is going to the auxiliary function is calculated. With this information, the proportion of the engine load signal that is going to the auxiliary function versus the drive wheels is determined. After slip is detected in the PTO clutch, pressure is ramped back up in the clutch so as to minimize the amount of slippage.

System And Method Of Digital Media Distribution

US Patent:

20080216142, Sep 4, 2008
Filed:

Aug 17, 2006
Appl. No.:

11/506464
Inventors:

Brett M. Goldberg - Seattle WA, US
Bradley C. Merrill - Redmond WA, US
Stanley Ng - Lynnwood WA, US
International Classification:

H04N 7/173
US Classification:

725115
Abstract:

A system and method for the managed distribution of digital media. A capture station captures media resources by converting the media resources into digital form. Once captured in digital form, the digital media is communicated to a formatting server. The formatting server encodes and encrypts the digital media into a desired form for distribution by the system. The digital media is stored in a master media server. Users are allowed to access the digital media using a media presentation client. A user can request access to digital media stored on the master media server. The system allows various access restrictions to be defined to restrict access to the digital media. If a user is authorized to access a piece of digital media, the digital media may be delivered to the media presentation client by the master media server.

US Patent:

20120010003, Jan 12, 2012
Filed:

Jul 3, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/999656
Inventors:

John J. Gallen - Waterloo IA, US
Bradley A. Merrill - Dike IA, US
Brian Daniel Durbin - Waverly IA, US
Chad Gregory Vandenberg - Waterloo IA, US
International Classification:

F16N 1/00
F16C 3/02
US Classification:

464 7
Abstract:

A concentric cylinder drive assembly () used for the transmission of power in industrial machinery is disclosed. More specifically, a concentric drive assembly () with a hollow outer cylinder () having an internal surface with a bi-directional surface lay; an inner cylinder () having an external surface with a unidirectional surface lay oriented at a predetermined angle (φ) along the length of the cylinder; an annular channel established between the outer and inner cylinders having a predetermined gap (); and a lubrication oil that substantially fills the annular channel is presented.

US Patent:

52531546, Oct 12, 1993
Filed:

Jun 12, 1992
Appl. No.:

7/897637
Inventors:

David R. McMahan - Anderson IN
William E. Nagengast - Anderson IN
Terry L. Coombs - Pendleton IN
Bradley A. Merrill - Thorntown IN
Ronald A. Wheat - Alexandria IN
Jan A. Wisler - Anderson IN
Assignee:

General Motors Corporation - Detroit MI
International Classification:

B60Q 100
US Classification:

362 66
Abstract:

A leveling arrangement for a vehicle headlamp that includes a support portion formed in the upper portion of the reflector member that has a spirit level member mounted thereon which is characterized in that it includes a living hinge serving as a pivotal connection for a depending member fastened to a substantially vertically oriented surface of the support portion so that rotation of screw means carried by the spirit level results in pivotal movement and calibration of the spirit level relative to the optical axis of the reflector member.
