The controller logic is set to allow the clutch to remain engaged during a delay period, of predetermined duration, to permit the operator to move a hand off of one control lever to another control lever. Also, a grace period, of varying duration based on the speed of the cutter wheel, may be provided during which the clutch is reengaged if an operator returns to the controls. | 04-09-2009 |

20150118986 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MITIGATING RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI) IN AN ELECTRICAL DEVICE - A method and circuit for mitigating RFI in an electronic device that occurs while the device is in a low power mode utilizes one or more antenna elements in the device to receive RF energy. When the RF energy is sufficiently high that it could affect signal states in the device while in the low power mode, the device transitions from the low power mode to an active mode and begins an RFI mitigation process to ensure signal states and other circuit operations in the device are not changed by the RFI. | 04-30-2015 |
20150119094 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ADJUSTING TRANSMISSION POWER IN A TWO-WAY DEVICE BASED ON BATTERY IMPEDANCE - A method and apparatus for adjusting transmission power in a portable two-way radio device allows the device to determine an expected battery voltage drop for a subsequent transmit event, based on present transmit power settings and battery impedance, and change the power setting for the subsequent transmit event if the battery voltage is likely to drop below a shutdown threshold at the present power setting or if the expected battery voltage drop will cause the battery voltage to be substantially above the shutdown voltage level and the present power setting is below an optimal level. | 04-30-2015 |
20160036260 | CIRCUIT AND METHOD FOR AVOIDING SHUTDOWN OF A PORTABLE DEVICE DUE TO A FALSE LOW VOLTAGE CONDITION - A method and circuit for avoiding a low voltage shutdown in a portable device due to a low voltage falsely indicating a discharged battery employs an input current sensing circuit to determine when a high current is being drawn by the portable device. When the portable device is drawing a high current from the battery, the shutdown function is at least temporarily suppressed. If, during the high current event, the battery behavior indicates that it is actually near fully discharged, the shutdown functionality can be enabled to shut down the portable device. | 02-04-2016 |
