20150127197 | USE OF CENTER ENGINE FOR DOCKING - In a marine propulsion control system for controlling a set of propulsion units carried by a hull of a vessel, cavitation typically occurs on the propulsion unit with reverse gear engaged, and in a triple propulsion unit installation the normally idle center propulsion unit can be used to increase the reverse thrust and thereby limit the RPM of propulsion units in reverse, so that the cavitation effect is limited, and simultaneously allow for higher forward thrust on the third propulsion unit, thus increasing the total thrust for the vessel. | 05-07-2015 |
20150032305 | ROTATION AND TRANSLATION CONTROL SYSTEM FOR VESSELS - A marine propulsion control system for controlling a set of propulsion units carried, by a hull of a vessel is based on the recognition that simultaneous control of yaw and sway movements can be achieved through a control system for a set of propulsion units where two propulsion units achieve yaw movement and two propulsion units achieve a sway movement. | 01-29-2015 |
20090281685 | METHOD FOR ARRANGEMENT FOR CALIBRATING A SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING THRUST AND STEERING IN A WATERCRAFT - In a method for calibrating a system for controlling thrust and steering of a drive arrangement in a watercraft, the system includes an operating device adapted for indicating a requested direction of travel of the watercraft, the operating device being connected to a control unit for providing corresponding thrust and steering commands to the drive arrangement. The method includes receiving an activation command in the control unit, for beginning the calibration, detecting any movements of the operating device, storing values corresponding to the movements in the control unit together with corresponding thrust and steering values, and repeating the detecting step and the storing step until a termination command is received in the control unit, thereby using the stored values in subsequent operation of the operating device for indicating the direction of travel of the watercraft. An arrangement for calibrating a system for controlling thrust and steering of a drive arrangement in a watercraft is also provided. | 11-12-2009 |
20080318482 | Marine Propulsion Control System and a Vessel Containing Such a Marine Propulsion Control System - A marine propulsion control system for controlling a set of propulsion units carried by a hull of a vessel, said marine propulsion control system including an input command regulator for generating a desired delivered thrust by the propulsion units in the set of propulsion units, a set of control units, wherein each control unit is associated with a separate propulsion unit in said set of propulsion units, wherein each control units is arranged to control the delivered thrust of the associated propulsion unit depending on input control signals received by the control unit and vessel including such a propulsion control unit. | 12-25-2008 |
20080302592 | Connection Assembly for a Truck - A connection assembly for a truck is provided, the truck including a chassis accommodating one or more components, a pivotable driver's cabin, wherein an arrangement associated with the components on the chassis is arranged, wherein the cabin is mounted to the chassis by a pivotable mounting arrangement; and a flexible connection arrangement linking the components of the chassis and the associated arrangement arranged in the cabin, wherein the pivotable mounting arrangement includes a linkage arm having a rear end which is pivotably mounted to a chassis bracket and a front end where the cabin is pivotably mounted; and the flexible connection arrangement is mounted to the linkage arm. The required space around the pivoting mounting point can be significantly reduced, as it is realised that by using a frontal pivot point in the design of the pivotable mounting arrangement, the flexible connection arrangement, i.e. the bundle of media (cables and tubes) can be fixed to the linkage arm of the mounting arrangement. | 12-11-2008 |
20080295569 | Method and Arrangement For Calibration of a System For Determining the Amount of Liquid in a Reservoir - A method for calibration of a system for determining the amount of fuel in a fuel tank includes a first step of initiating a start of the calibration, a second step which includes detection of a level of a fuel-level sensor and detection of a point in time at which the level was detected, and further steps corresponding to a periodical repetition of the second step. The calibration is carried out during addition of fuel to the fuel tank at a generally constant flow velocity. An arrangement for such a calibration is also provided. | 12-04-2008 |
