Abstract: A system for providing torque assist in a vehicle includes a hydrostatic transmission that is associated with otherwise unpowered wheels of the vehicle. Operation of the hydrostatic transmission can be commanded by a controller based on sensor inputs, indicative of wheel speeds of each wheel present in the vehicle, to provide torque to the otherwise unpowered wheels of the vehicle. Moreover, when torque difference exists between one wheel and another from the otherwise unpowered wheels, the controller can independently and selectively actuate one or more pumps that are included in the hydrostatic transmission so that each wheel from the set of otherwise unpowered wheels rotates at the same wheel speed.

Abstract: An idle reduction engine shutdown and restart system for a machine is disclosed. The machine can include an engine operably connected to a drivetrain including ground engaging propulsion members. The drivetrain can be configured to transmit mechanical energy between the engine and the ground engaging propulsion members. The idle reduction engine shutdown and restart system for the machine can include a starter operatively associated with the engine and configured to effectuate ignition of the engine. The idle reduction engine shutdown and restart system for the machine can further include an idle reduction engine shutdown and restart controller electronically and controllably connected to the engine and configured to shut down the engine in an engine shutdown mode.

Abstract: A method for enhancing payload control is disclosed. The method includes removing material during a plurality of work cycles with at least one loading machine and associating the loading machine relative to at least one haulage machine. The method also includes determining the relative locations of the loading machine and the haulage machine and, during the plurality of work cycles, loading removed material into the haulage machine with the loading machine. The method also includes determining payload and payload distribution within the haulage machine at least before a last work cycle of the plurality of work cycles and communicating to the loading machine, via a machine-to-machine communication system, the amount and position within the haulage machine of additional payload desired in at least the last work cycle of the plurality of work cycles for desired payload and payload distribution.

Abstract: A system and method for diagnosing output power of an internal combustion engine includes means for diagnosing potential causes of low engine output power or torque and means for estimating actual engine output power or torque. In a preferred embodiment of the diagnosis of engine output power, low engine output power is first investigated for authenticity to verify whether a low engine output power condition exists. If one exists, a zero fueling engine cranking test is conducted to determine whether relative compression values for each of the cylinders are within specification, and any problems associated therewith are corrected by service personnel. If the low engine output power problem is not corrected in accordance with the engine cranking test, a snap-throttle cylinder balancing test is conducted to balance the relative power contribution from each cylinder.

Abstract: N-(Triazoloazinyl)arylsulfonamide compounds, such as 2,6-dimethoxy-N-(8-chloro-5-methoxy[1,2,4]-triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidin-2-yl)b enzenesulfonamide, 2-methoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)-N-(5,8-dimethoxy[1,2,4]-triazolo[1,5-c]pyrim idin-2-yl)pyridine-3-sulfonamide, and 2-methoxy-6-methoxycarbonyl-N-(5,8-dimethoxy[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin- 2-yl)benzenesulfonamide were prepared from appropriately substituted 2-amino[1,2,4]triazolo-[1,5-c]pyrimidine and 2-amino[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]-pyridine compounds and appropriately substituted benzenesulfonyl chloride and pyridine-3-sulfonyl chloride compounds. The compounds were found to be useful as herbicides.
