20140316998 | MACHINE INSPECTION TOOL WITH SERVICE REPORT SYNCHRONIZATION - Computer-based tools and techniques are provided for performing service operations such as performing inspections on machines, for example. The tools may include a service data device having one or more checklists which are customizable and electronically interactive. The service data device may be configured for communicating with a service administrator computer system to process data associated with the service operations. | 10-23-2014 |
20140309794 | ELECTRONIC CONTROL OF FLUID OPERATIONS FOR MACHINES - Various embodiments of fluid monitoring systems are provided for use in connection with the fluid systems of machines such as engine-powered machines. The fluid monitoring systems may be configured for collecting and processing data associated with fluid refill operations, fluid evacuation operations, fluid purge operations, and other types of fluid operations in connection with different fluid components. | 10-16-2014 |
20140297045 | CONTROLLING FLUID OPERATIONS FOR MACHINE SYSTEMS - Enhanced tools and techniques are disclosed for performing post-lubrication fluid operations and other fluid maintenance operations on the fluid system of a machine. A control module may be provided for initiating post-lubrication fluid operations for regulating temperature of engine components, for example, such as when a machine has been powered down after use. | 10-02-2014 |
20140290761 | VALVE ASSEMBLY FOR MACHINE FLUID OPERATIONS - Various embodiments of valve assemblies are provided for use in connection with the fluid systems of machines such as engine-powered machines. The valve assemblies may be used for performing fluid refill operations, fluid evacuation operations, fluid purge operations, and other types of fluid operations in connection with machine maintenance. | 10-02-2014 |
20140202554 | ENHANCED TECHNIQUES FOR PERFORMING AND MONITORING MACHINE FLUID PROCESSES - Enhanced tools and techniques are provided for performing fluid processes in connection with the fluid system of a machine. In one embodiment, a fluid process may include fluidically connecting to a fluid system of a machine through a common location; purging at least a portion of the fluid system by applying fluid pressure to a filter through the common location; evacuating at least one fluid reservoir of the fluid system by applying negative pressure at the common location; and, refilling at least one fluid reservoir of the fluid system through the filter portion by applying positive pressure at the common location. | 07-24-2014 |
20130330205 | VARIABLE FLUID FLOW TECHNIQUES FOR MACHINE FLUID SYSTEMS - Methods, systems, and techniques for structuring, operating, and/or controlling a variable fluid flow system of a machine are provided. In various embodiments, a supplemental pump and/or an electric motor can be leveraged in combination with the existing components of a machine, such as the main fluid pump of the machine. | 12-12-2013 |
20130327729 | SUPPLEMENTAL FILTRATION FOR MACHINE FLUID SYSTEMS - Enhanced fluid filtration methods, systems, and techniques are disclosed that can leverage the function of a supplemental pump in combination with the existing components of a machine, such as the main pump of an electrically-powered machine with an engine. In various embodiments, a supplemental filter apparatus may be operatively associated with the supplemental pump to provide filtration of fluid flowing through the machine. A control module may be operatively associated with the supplemental pump and/or various components of the machine. The control module may be programmed to activate or deactivate the supplemental pump, a valve, or take other actions in association with detecting the existence of one or more filter triggering conditions. | 12-12-2013 |
20100042457 | SERVICE OPERATION DATA PROCESSING USING CHECKLIST FUNCTIONALITY IN ASSOCIATION WITH INSPECTED ITEMS - In one embodiment, a system is provided for performing at least one service operation in association with at least one inspected item. The system includes a service data device configured for displaying at least one data screen including at least one checklist configured for operative use in connection with performance of the service operation on the inspected item, the data device being portable and being configured for processing at least one communication; a service administrator having at least one data storage medium configured for storing at least one of the checklists displayed on the data device, the service administrator further having at least one server for enabling at least one communication between the service administrator and the data device; at least a portion of at least one of the checklists being customizable by at least the service administrator; and, at least a portion of at least one of the checklists being electronically interactive in association with performance of the service operation on the inspected item. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR ยง1.72(b). | 02-18-2010 |
