Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
B60L 1/00
US Classification:
307 91, 307 41, 700295
Abstract:
A method for operating an electrical system for a machine is provided. The electrical system may include at least one power source connected to a power-distribution network. The power-distribution network may include a first portion with one or more power loads connected thereto and a second portion with one or more power loads connected thereto. The method may include repeatedly executing a load-priority cycle including operating in a first load-priority mode and subsequently operating in a second load-priority mode, during a power deficit. Operating in the first load-priority mode may include supplying power to the first and second portions of the power-distribution network, with a priority on supplying power to the first portion. Operating in the second load-priority mode may include supplying power to the first and second portions of the power-distribution network, with a priority on supplying power to the second portion.

US Patent:
7970518, Jun 28, 2011
Filed:
Dec 22, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/313739
Inventors:
John Jay Bernardi - Chillicothe IL, US
Kevin Dee Ehrenhardt - Eureka IL, US
Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
G06F 7/70
G06G 7/00
US Classification:
701 50, 701 52, 701 53, 307 91, 307 19
Abstract:
The keyless power system has an ignition system including an ignition switch having an “OFF” position and one or more electrical components associated with a work machine. The keyless power system also has one or more alternate power sources configured to provide electrical power to the one or more electrical components. The keyless power system also has a controller configured to determine a power-level requirement of the one or more electrical components and activate at least one of the one or more alternate power sources to at least partially satisfy the power-level requirement based on whether the ignition switch is in the “OFF” position.

Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
F01N 11/00
US Classification:
60277, 60297, 60311
Abstract:
An exhaust component for use with a combustion engine is disclosed. The exhaust component may have a housing at least partially defining an inlet and an outlet, and a treatment device supported by the housing in communication with exhaust passing from the inlet to the outlet. The exhaust component may also have a life indicator permanently associated with at least one of the housing and the treatment device.

Electrical System Of A Mobile Machine

US Patent:
20070023210, Feb 1, 2007
Filed:
Jul 28, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/190952
Inventors:
John Bernardi - Chillicothe IL, US
Brian Morrical - Peoria IL, US
Kevin Ehrenhardt - Eureka IL, US
Timothy Goldammer - Dunlap IL, US
International Classification:
B60K 1/00
US Classification:
180065200
Abstract:
A mobile machine includes a propulsion system configured to propel the mobile machine. The mobile machine may also include an electrical system mounted to the machine. The electrical system may include a first power source, a second power source, a power-transmission system connected to one or more power loads, and power-supply controls. The power-supply controls may be configured to execute a control method, including executing a power-source transition. Executing the power-source transition may include disconnecting the first power source from the power-transmission system, waiting for satisfaction of at least one predetermined condition, and connecting the second power source to the power-transmission system.

Machine Configurations Employing Passive And Controllable Cab Mounts

US Patent:
20100147640, Jun 17, 2010
Filed:
Dec 14, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/637167
Inventors:
Steven D. Jones - Metamora IL, US

Kevin D. Ehrenhardt - Eureka IL, US
Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
F16F 9/53
US Classification:
1882672
Abstract:
A machine includes a frame and an operator cab supported by the frame. One or more passive mounts and one or more controllable mounts operatively connect the operator cab to the frame. The one or more controllable mounts include a housing, a pin mounted within the housing, a rheological fluid within the housing, and coils positioned relative to the housing to generate a field through the rheological fluid. An electronic control unit operatively associated with the coils and adapted to change a level of current applied to the coils to adjust an apparent viscosity of the rheological fluid to actively change the damping characteristics of the one or more controllable mounts.

US Patent:
56117515, Mar 18, 1997
Filed:
Sep 26, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/533974
Inventors:
Kevin D. Ehrenhardt - Eureka IL
Gregory S. Gauger - Pekin IL
Prasad V. Parupalli - Peoria IL
Thomas R. Sandborg - Mapleton IL
Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
B60K 4102
B60K 4104
F16H 3700
US Classification:
477 73
Abstract:
A preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a power take off ("PTO") controller used on a vehicle. The controller includes a PTO on/off switch, a brake/clutch ignore switch, and a PTO set/resume switch connected to an electronic controller. The controller sets the engine speed command to a PTO default speed in response to the PTO on/off switch being in an on position. By placing the brake/clutch ignore switch in an ignore position, the vehicle operator can use the brake or clutch without affecting the PTO engine speed.
