  • Patent number: 11390319
    Abstract: A valve for hydraulic parallel work systems is provided. The valve includes a first pair of ports, a second pair of ports, a first connection, and a second connection. The first connection is between the first pair of ports when the valve is in a load reaction-enabling state. The first connection transmits a load reaction from a load at a steering actuator to a steering device of a hydrostatic steering circuit. The second connection is between the second pair of ports when the valve is in an electro-hydraulic steering enabling state. The second connection fluidly connects a fluid source to an electro-hydraulic steering circuit.

  • Publication number: 20220001915
    Abstract: A system for hydraulic parallel work systems is provided. The system includes a fixed displacement pump (110), a closed-center circuit (300), an open-center hand metering unit (HMU) (200), and a tank (120). The closed-center circuit is in fluid communication with the fixed displacement pump. The open-center HMU is in fluid communication with the fixed displacement pump at an inlet port (204) of the HMU. The tank is fluidly connected to the inlet port of the HMU when the HMU is inactive.

  • Publication number: 20110307506
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of an exhibitor interacting with a visitor and acquiring, managing, and qualifying leads, comprises: receiving identification information from the visitor at an input station; matching the identification information to a visitor account; and transmitting a notification of attendance by the visitor at the input station to a contact other than the visitor, defined for the visitor account by the exhibitor. The method may further comprise: collecting behavior information from the visitor defining one or more of type, quality and quantity of interactions between the visitor and the exhibitor, during the interactions; and updating records in a leads database linking the visitor account to the behavior information, while collecting the behavior information.
