Abstract: A control system operative to establish a coordinated mixture of gaseous and distillate fuels for a high capacity off-road vehicle equipped with a diesel-electric drive including a propel mode includes an electronic control unit and a gaseous control unit. The electronic control unit generates an auxiliary control signal which is determinative of a steadily increasing quantity of gaseous fuel to be included in an operative fuel mixture. Upon indication that one or more predetermined operating parameters have exceeded a threshold level, the electronic control unit generates auxiliary control signal which decreases the quantity of gaseous fuel and maintain the quantity of gaseous fuel to be included in the operative fuel mixture once the predetermined operating parameters return below the threshold level.

Abstract: A drilling machine drills at a multiplicity of target locations on a component. Two robots, calibrated with calibration data, move the component in a 6-D coordinate system. A metrology system ascertains the position of the component relative to the drilling machine. The movement of the robots is effected by commands generated by off-line programming. The component is moved relative to the drilling machine to a target position, ready for drilling, by a closed-loop process in which the differences in position between the expected position (the target position) and the actual position (as viewed by the metrology system) are corrected.
