20150047918 | VEHICLE POSITIONING SYSTEM - A vehicle includes an operator station, a propulsion system, a steering system a hitch, and a vehicle positioning system. The positioning system includes positioning controls outside the operator station of the vehicle and adjacent to the hitch, such as on a rear fender. The positioning controls include a forward switch, a reverse switch, a left switch and a right switch. A controller is connected to the positioning controls, to the propulsion and steering systems. The controller moves the vehicle forward or rearward in response to actuation of the forward or reverse switches. The controller operates the steering system in response to actuation of the left or right switches. The steering system may include a brake control valve which brakes one of a pair of driven wheels while the other driven wheel is rotating. The steering system may include a steering control valve which is operable to turn steerable wheels. | 02-19-2015 |
20150053435 | DRIVE SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE PULLING A TOWED VEHICLE - A drive system is provided for a towing vehicle pulling a towed vehicle, such as a tractor pulling a scraper. The drive system includes a diesel engine which drives a generator for generating electrical power. Tractor drive motors are drivingly connected to driven wheels of the tractor. An assist drive motor is drivingly connected to driven wheels of the scraper. A power distribution unit controls distribution of electric power from the generator to the tractor and assist drive motors. A control unit controls the power distribution unit as a function of vehicle speed. | 02-26-2015 |
20150077557 | VEHICLE AUTO-MOTION CONTROL SYSTEM - An automatic control system moves a vehicle so that it can be coupled to an implement. The vehicle has propulsion and steering controls which respond to electronic input signals. A visual target is mounted on the implement. Vehicle mounted cameras generate images of the target. A motion control unit receives and processes the images, and generates vehicle movement commands as a function of the images which are communicated to the propulsion and steering controls. The motion control unit includes a perception engine connected to the cameras, a controller connected to the perception engine, and a vehicle/operator interface which is connected to the controller, and to the propulsion and steering controls. The perception engine captures images from the cameras, un-distorts the images, and searches for the target. If the target is found, the perception engine recovers vehicle posture information and transmits said information to the controller. | 03-19-2015 |

20110108358 | NOISE ATTENUATOR AND RESONATOR - A resonator attenuates sound waves at first and second frequencies. The resonator includes a first tube, and a second tube received within the first tube. Both tubes have an open end and a closed end. The first tube has an axial length which is longer than the axial length of the second tube. The first tube attenuates sound waves at the first frequency and the second tube attenuates sound waves at the second frequency. The second tube has an outer wall which engages an inner wall of the first tube. The open end of the second tube is surrounded by the open end of the first tube. The open end of the first tube is attached to an engine air intake conduit. The conduit communicates air from a charge air cooler to an engine intake manifold. | 05-12-2011 |
20140277675 | METHODS AND APPARATUS TO CONTROL MACHINE CONFIGURATIONS - Methods and apparatus are disclosed for controlling machine configurations. An example method disclosed herein includes identifying a machine configuration, the machine configuration comprising a host machine connected to an auxiliary machine; determining a desired trajectory based on at least one of the host machine turning, a desired work path, or an alignment of the host machine and the auxiliary machine; and controlling steering of the auxiliary machine based on a desired trajectory of the host machine. | 09-18-2014 |
