Patent number: 8893477Abstract: The present invention provides an exhaust emission purifying apparatus having a liquid level measuring device in which, when a liquid level (measured liquid level) measured by a liquid level indicator of a sensor is equal to or than a measurable lower limit, the measured liquid level is output. On the other hand, when the measured liquid level is less than the measurable lower limit, the liquid level estimated based on a consumption of a liquid reducing agent or its precursor in a reducing agent tank and a tank cross-sectional area is output. The liquid level of the liquid reducing agent or its precursor is estimated in a range in which the liquid level may not be accurately measured due to the presence of a concentration meter, whereby the liquid level can be measured over a wide range.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2011Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: Volvo Powertrain AktiebolagInventor: Hiroyuki Konno

Patent number: 8738242Abstract: The slope angle of a blade on an earthmoving machine is automatically controlled based on measurements from a three-axis gyroscope, a blade slope angle tilt sensor, and a blade tip angle tilt sensor mounted on the blade. A three-axis gyroscope has high dynamic response and high resistance to mechanical disturbances but is subject to potentially unbounded errors. A tilt sensor has bounded errors but has a slow dynamic response and a high sensitivity to mechanical disturbances. The combination of a three-axis gyroscope and two tilt sensors provides an advantageous measurement system. Algorithms for performing proper fusion of the measurements account for the lack of synchronization between the three-axis gyroscope and the tilt sensors and also screen out invalid measurements from the tilt sensors. The blade slope angle is controlled based on a reference blade slope angle and an estimate of the blade slope angle computed from properly fused measurements.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2011Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Topcon Positioning Systems, Inc.Inventors: Hiroyuki Konno, Vernon Joseph Brabec, Renard Tomas Graham
