Abstract:
A mechanical linkage (310; 410) between operator input devices (312) and actuators (314) including a junction (318; 412; 436) having a first portion (428' 430) operably coupled to an operator input device and a second portion (438' 440) operably coupled to an actuator. The first and second portions of the junction are connected when a cab (250; 302) is in an operating position and disconnected when a cab is in a service position. When connected, the first and second portions create a solid connection between the operator input device and the actuator. When the first and second portions are disconnected, the operator input will be not be operably coupled to the actuator. Movement of the cab to the operating position will cause the first and second portions to become connected and movement away from the operating position will cause the first and second portions to become disconnected.
Abstract:
Wing component (320; 420) for use with an implement that is coupleable with a power machine (100; 200; 300). The wing component includes a stationary portion (322; 422) configured to be mounted to the implement and having a wing support (324; 424). A wing portion (326; 426) is slidably coupled to the wing support such that the wing portion is configured to move laterally relative to the wing support. A biasing mechanism (328; 428) is coupled to the wing portion and is configured to provide a biasing force to bias the wing portion relative to the wing support.
Abstract:
Disclosed embodiments include power machines (100; 200; 302), track frame assemblies (305), and apparatus for mounting a track frame assembly to a frame of a power machine. In various disclosed embodiments, mounting structures (310; 340; 350) mount a track frame to the machine frame (335). In some exemplary embodiments, each mounting structure includes two torsional joints and at least three non-torsional joints between the machine frame and the corresponding track frame. The two torsional joints can be provided by torsion shafts (405) and the corresponding attachments to front and rear arms (420). In exemplary embodiments, the at least three non-torsional joints are substantially free to rotate and can include a joint between a front axle (435) and the track frame, a joint between a rear axle (435) and a link (500), and a joint between a link pin (520) and the track frame. In some exemplary embodiments, the front or rear arms are oriented relative to corresponding torsion shafts to improve performance.
Abstract:
Disclosed embodiments include a network interface controller (NIC) card (112), such as a media converter card, configured to operate during levels of sleep of a computing device (100) to which the NIC card is connected. This allows functionality of a peripheral device (142), such as an IP phone, to persist when the computing device enters a low power sleep mode of operation.
Abstract:
A hydraulic brake mechanism (145; 245; 345) for use in hydraulic systems (200; 300) to provide braking of a hydraulic motor (150; 250; 350) is disclosed. The brake mechanism provides proper braking under a range of operating conditions, including (1) the start of flow from the pump (205; 305) to the brake and motor and braking is not desired; (2) operating conditions in which constant flow is provided from the pump to the brake and motor and braking is not desired; (3) operating conditions in which abrupt decreases of flow from the pump to the brake and the motor occur, for example where flow is reduced due to being drawn by another work element (325) or hydraulic load, but under which a reduced supply flow is still present and braking is not desired; and (4) operating conditions in which the hydraulic flow from the pump to the brake mechanism and the motor is shut off completely and braking is desired.
Abstract:
An autonomous vehicle control system (e.g., 105; 600) for use on a vehicle, such as a motorcycle (e.g., 100) or an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) to autonomously control the vehicle without a driver during vehicle testing is provided. The vehicle control system comprises a moment generator (e.g., 110) coupleable to the vehicle and configured to selectively generate a moment in either of first and second directions. The vehicle control system also includes a control system (e.g., 112; 120; 800) operably coupled to the moment generator and configured to control the moment generator to selectively impart moments on the vehicle to stabilize the vehicle or to introduce disturbances on the vehicle.
Abstract:
A computer implemented method is provided for monitoring and controlling a plurality of internet protocol (IP) enabled devices (210) on a network. Each of the plurality of IP enabled devices has an internal IP address on the network, but does not have an external IP address for use on the Internet. The method includes the step (315) of performing a port scan to obtain internal IP addresses (317) for the plurality of IP enabled devices on the network. An HTML page (327) is retrieved (325) from each of the plurality of IP enabled devices on the network using the internal IP addresses. A data file name (332) is extracted (330; 430) from each of the retrieved HTML pages and in some embodiments is translated to a new data file name. The method also includes retrieving (335; 435) data from each of the plurality if IP enabled devices on the network as a function of the extracted data file names or using the new data file names. Computer readable storage medium (e.g., 104; 108; 110) and gateway computing devices (100), for example in the form of a plug computer, are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Disclosed are work implements (190; 300), power machines (100; 200) and methods (500; 600; 700) of operating implements and power machines using machine and implement controllers (250: 350). An implement controller (350) receives information from a power machine with which the work implement is paired indicative of operational characteristics of the power machine. The implement controller is configured to responsively provide information to the power machine to direct operation of the power machine based upon the received information.
Abstract:
A stacked display has the different colour layers (20r), (20g), (20b) ordered with respect to the wavelength-dependency of the lens focus so that there is better focus of the colours on the display layers that modulate those colours. The optical system (30), (32) can be designed to have a wavelength-dependent focus that matches the position of each of the light modulating layers.
Abstract:
An autostereoscopic display uses a light diffusing arrangement which provides a greater degree of light diffusion for ambient light passing into the display than for the light modulated by the display pixels and exiting the display after reflection.
