20120310490 | OPERATOR INTERFACE WITH TACTILE FEEDBACK - An operator interface assembly for a machine includes a base, an operator input device, a first biasing member, and a second biasing member. The operator input device is operable to move in a direction in relation to the base. The first biasing member is operable to contact the operator input device at a first position and resist movement of the operator input device in the direction. The second biasing member is operable to contact the operator input device at a second position and resist movement of the operator input device in the direction. | 12-06-2012 |
20130160543 | ERROR DETECTION FOR INERTIAL MEASUREMENT UNITS - A system for detecting an error in an inertial measurement unit (IMU) is disclosed. The system may have a first IMU including a first plurality of accelerometers and a first rotational rate measurer. The first plurality of accelerometers may be configured to measure acceleration along a plurality of first axes, a first axis of the plurality of first axes being substantially collinear with a collinear axis. The first rotational rate measurer may be configured to measure a first rotational rate about a second axis of the plurality of first axes that is substantially perpendicular to the collinear axis. The system may also have a second IMU and an IMU error detector. The IMU error detector may be configured to receive measurement data from the first IMU and the second IMU; and detect an error based on the measurement data. | 06-27-2013 |
20130317695 | OPERATOR INTERFACE WITH TACTILE FEEDBACK - An operator interface assembly for a machine is disclosed. The operator interface assembly comprises a base, an operator input device operable to move in a first direction in relation to the base to a second position and a third position, a first biasing member including a first spring end, and operatively associated with the base and wherein the first spring end is operable to contact the operator input device at a first position and resist movement of the operator input device in the first direction, a second biasing member including a second spring end, and operatively associated with the base and wherein the second spring end is operable to contact the operator input device at the second position, the second position different than the first position, and resist movement of the operator input device in the first direction, and a position sensor. | 11-28-2013 |
