Publication number: 20210107446Abstract: A fire fighting vehicle includes a powertrain including an engine, a battery pack, and an electromechanical transmission; a power divider; and a controller. The power divider is positioned between the engine, the pump, and the electromechanical transmission. The controller is configured to monitor a state-of-charge of the battery pack and operate the engine, the power divider, and the electromechanical transmission such that the state-of-charge is maintained above a minimum state-of-charge threshold that is sufficient to facilitate (i) accelerating the fire fighting vehicle to a driving speed of at least 50 miles-per-hour in an acceleration time and (ii) maintaining or exceeding the driving speed for a period of time. An aggregate of the acceleration time and the period of time is at least three minutes.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2020Publication date: April 15, 2021Applicant: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: Jason Shively, Seth Newlin, David Kay, Jack Bermingham, Jon Morrow, David Steinberger

Patent number: 10974724Abstract: A fire fighting vehicle includes a powertrain, an accessory drive, and a controller. The powertrain includes an engine, an energy storage device, and an electromechanical transmission (i) electrically coupled to the energy storage device and (ii) selectively mechanically coupled to the engine. The electromechanical transmission is configured to (a) selectively drive a front axle and/or a rear axle and (b) selectively generate energy for storage in the energy storage device as stored energy. The accessory drive is positioned to receive a mechanical input from the engine and the electromechanical transmission. The controller is configured to selectively operate the powertrain in (i) a standby mode by operating the electromechanical transmission using the stored energy to drive the accessory drive with the engine off and (ii) a rollout mode by operating the electromechanical transmission using the stored energy to drive the front axle and/or the rear axle with the engine off.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2020Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: Jason Shively, Seth Newlin, David Kay, Jack Bermingham, Jon Morrow, David Steinberger

Patent number: 9507582Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards managing application delivery over a network. Change information that corresponds to changes to an application may be provided to a delivery pipeline. The change information may be verified in part based on a static analysis of the content of the change information, compiling, and unit testing. Reviewers may be notified to approve the change information. A version of the application that includes the change information may be generated. Acceptance testing may be performed that includes provisioning computing resources in an acceptance computing environment. And, deploying a version of application that includes the change information into the acceptance computing environment. If the acceptance testing passes, a shipping operation may be enabled pausing the delivery pipeline until an authorized user activates the shipping operation restarting the delivery pipeline and deploying the application to one or more computing environments.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2015Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: Chef Software, Inc.Inventors: Adam Brent Jacob, Seth Yosef Falcon, Lamont Curtis Granquist, Jon Morrow, Christopher Brown, Kevin Smith
