Air Reservoir For Air Brake System

View page
US Patent:
20030038535, Feb 27, 2003
Filed:
Aug 21, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/932931
Inventors:
Ethan Tevis - Bloomington IL, US
Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc.
International Classification:
B60T011/34
US Classification:
303/085000, 303/089000
Abstract:
An air reservoir for an air brake system is provided. The air reservoir includes a housing that has a first air chamber, a second air chamber, and a supply air chamber. A first valve is disposed between the supply air chamber and the first air chamber and is configured to allow air to flow from the supply air chamber to the first air chamber. A second valve is disposed between the supply air chamber and the second air chamber and is configured to allow air to flow from the supply air chamber to the second air chamber.

US Patent:
20110146261, Jun 23, 2011
Filed:
Dec 14, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/967611
Inventors:
Ethan M. Tevis - Bloomington IL, US
Maureen E. Beck - Secor IL, US
Shawn I. Cullen - Metamora IL, US
Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
F16D 31/02
US Classification:
60459
Abstract:
The disclosure describes, in one aspect, a control system for charging an electro-hydraulic charging system. The control system including at least one sensor operatively coupled to an engine for sensing at least one engine parameter indicative of an operating status of the engine and a controller adapted to charge the charging system when the operating status of the engine is determined to be stable.

Systems And Methods For Automatic Moldboard Positioning

View page
US Patent:
20220412043, Dec 29, 2022
Filed:
Jun 23, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/356394
Inventors:
- Peoria IL, US
Ethan M. Tevis - Bloomington IL, US
David L. Cox - Monticello IL, US
International Classification:
E02F 3/84
E02F 3/76
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for automatically adjusting a moldboard of a motor grader can include receiving one or more identifiers corresponding to a configuration of the motor grader, and determining, based on the received identifier(s), a first orientation of the moldboard. If the first orientation is not within an operating threshold, the method can further include selecting, based on the one or more identifiers, at least one of a plurality of actuators of the motor grader; and actuating the selected actuator(s) to move the moldboard from the first orientation to a second orientation within the operating threshold.

Control System For A Grading Machine

View page
US Patent:
20220186463, Jun 16, 2022
Filed:
Dec 15, 2020
Appl. No.:
17/122886
Inventors:
- Peoria IL, US
Ethan M. TEVIS - Bloomington IL, US
Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
E02F 3/84
E02F 3/76
Abstract:
A grading machine includes a machine body, a grading blade, and a control system configured to automatically set at least one machine parameter of the grading blade based on a determined location of the grading machine.

Methods And Systems For Detecting A Machine Operator

View page
US Patent:
20230035095, Feb 2, 2023
Filed:
Jul 28, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/387914
Inventors:
- Peoria IL, US
Ethan M. Tevis - Bloomington IL, US
International Classification:
B60K 28/06
B60K 35/00
G06K 9/00
Abstract:
A technique is directed to methods and systems for detecting the presence of a machine operator. In some implementations, an operator presence system monitors a machine to determine whether an operator is present in an operating machine. The operator presence system collects input data from sensors or devices on the machine and determines whether the operator is in the operator seat. During operation, if an operator is determined to not be in the operator seat, the operator presence system can generate and send notifications (e.g., visual or audible warnings) to alert the operator to sit in the operator seat.

Damage Avoidance Systems And Methods For Motor Grader Scarifiers

View page
US Patent:
20230017936, Jan 19, 2023
Filed:
Jul 16, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/364382
Inventors:
- Peoria IL, US
Ethan M. Tevis - Bloomington IL, US
David L. Cox - Monticello IL, US
International Classification:
E02F 3/84
E02F 3/76
E02F 9/24
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for operating a grading machine. The method includes (i) receiving information indicating a current position of a moldboard of the grading machine; (ii) determining if the moldboard is moving toward an avoidance zone, and the avoidance zone is defined by a distance from a scarifier of the grading machine; and (iii) in response to a determination that the moldboard is moving toward the avoidance zone, adjusting at least one operating parameter of the moldboard or the scarifier of the grading machine.

Systems And Methods For Operating Snow Wings Of Motor Graders

View page
US Patent:
20230002985, Jan 5, 2023
Filed:
Jun 30, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/363632
Inventors:
- Peoria IL, US
Ethan M. Tevis - Bloomington IL, US
David L. Cox - Monticello IL, US
International Classification:
E01H 5/06
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for operating a grading machine. The method includes (i) receiving information regarding material on a surface, and the grading machine is configured to travel on the surface and move the material on the surface; (ii) determining a set of parameters for operating the grading machine, and the set of parameters include an articulation angle of the grading machine and a moldboard angle of a moldboard of the grading machine; and (iii) positioning a snow wing and the moldboard of the grading machine based on the set of parameters such that the snow wing has a predetermined spatial relationship with the moldboard.

Valve Assembly With Mechanical And Electro-Hydraulic Control

View page
US Patent:
20200190771, Jun 18, 2020
Filed:
Dec 13, 2018
Appl. No.:
16/218840
Inventors:
- Deerfield IL, US
Ethan M. Tevis - Bloomington IL, US
Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc. - Deerfield IL
International Classification:
E02F 9/22
E02F 9/20
Abstract:
A hydraulic valve assembly including a main control valve having a valve body housing a valve member that is movable between a first valve position and a second valve position. The hydraulic valve assembly further includes a mechanical interface operatively coupled to the movable valve member to manually move the movable valve member between the first valve position and the second valve position and one or more electro-hydraulic actuators operatively coupled to the movable valve member to automatically move the movable valve member between the first valve position and the second valve position in response to receiving a control signal from a controller.
