Cooling System With Dual Reversing Fans

View page
US Patent:
20130153180, Jun 20, 2013
Filed:
Dec 16, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/328142
Inventors:
Joseph M. Montocchio - Dubuque IA, US
David R. Didelot - Asbury IA, US
Karl G. Heine - Dubuque IA, US
Boyd M. Nichols - Dubuque IA, US
John M. Chesterman - Dubuque IA, US
Carl R. Starkey - Dewitt IA, US
International Classification:
F28F 13/00
US Classification:
165121
Abstract:
A cooling system comprises a first cooling package, a second cooling package, and a fan control system. The first cooling package comprises a first fan and at least one heat exchanger to cool at least one fluid associated with the machine. The first fan is configured to rotate in a cooling direction and an opposite cleaning direction. The second cooling package comprises a second fan and at least one heat exchanger to cool at least one fluid associated with the machine. The second fan is configured to rotate in a cooling direction and an opposite cleaning direction. The fan control system is configured to alternate the first and second fans between a first cleaning mode and a second cleaning mode.

US Patent:
20130286671, Oct 31, 2013
Filed:
Apr 27, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/457909
Inventors:
Scott J Breiner - Dubuque IA, US
Chris Guillory - Peosta IA, US
Boyd M. Nichols - Dubuque IA, US
International Classification:
B60Q 1/00
US Classification:
362464
Abstract:
A vehicle lighting system in which a controller changes the intensity of a drive light and/or a work light as a function of a speed of the vehicle.

Weight-Based Stability Detection System

View page
US Patent:
20120209502, Aug 16, 2012
Filed:
Feb 15, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/027969
Inventors:
Boyd M. Nichols - Dubuque IA, US
Carl R. Starkey - Dubuque IA, US
Assignee:
DEERE & COMPANY - Moline IL
International Classification:
B60Q 1/00
G06F 19/00
B60Q 5/00
US Classification:
701124
Abstract:
A stability detection system is provided for detecting the stability of an articulated vehicle. The stability detection system may include a weigh system configured to measure the weight distribution of the vehicle. A controller may provide a warning when the detected weight distribution exceeds a threshold.

Accurate Fluid Level Measurement Device

View page
US Patent:
20140096603, Apr 10, 2014
Filed:
Oct 8, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/646780
Inventors:
Boyd M. Nichols - Dubuque IA, US
David Myers - Dubuque IA, US
Benjamin P. Koestler - Asbury IA, US
Christopher J. Meyer - Dubuque IA, US
International Classification:
G01F 23/30
US Classification:
73305
Abstract:
A fluid level measurement system for sensing fluid level in a tank is disclosed that includes a float that moves vertically in the interior of the tank, and a force measuring mechanism coupled to the float that generates an output based on the upward force on the float. The system can include an outer tube where the float is contained in the outer tube. A microcontroller can compute fluid level using the force measuring mechanism output. Altitude and other factors can be accounted for. Exemplary force measuring mechanisms can include a Hall Effect sensor sensing position of a magnet coupled to the float, or a force sensor coupled to the float. The length of the float, or the float and uncompressed spring can be substantially equal to the height of the tank. The float can have a generally uniform or non-uniform outside diameter.
