Patent number: 8757315Abstract: The present disclosure provides a control system for a machine having a transmission. The control system includes an open gate shift pattern having a plurality of defined positions disposed within an outer perimeter. Each of the defined positions corresponds to one of a plurality of forward and reverse ranges of the transmission. A control lever is movably disposed within the shift pattern. A first set of defined positions is aligned in the shift pattern corresponding to the plurality of forward ranges and a second set of defined positions is aligned in the shift pattern corresponding to the plurality of reverse ranges. The control lever is moveable in a single movement to any of the plurality of defined positions for selecting between a forward range and reverse range.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2013Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Deere & CompanyInventors: Giovanni Ananda Wuisan, Charles Jon Paul Asp, Nathan Joseph Hortsman, Ronald James Huber, Daniel Robert Klein, Jed Douglas Polzin, Brent Allen Smith

Patent number: 8503370Abstract: A system and methodology that facilitates efficient utilization of bandwidth on a transmission link between a base station and a core mobility network, during content delivery is provided. Moreover, the system includes a data storage device, adjunct to, or integrated within, the base station for storing content locally. Typically, the data storage device is updated by downloading content from the core network at an optimal time. For example, content can be downloaded to the data storage device when the core network-to-base station link is idle, under utilized and/or has sufficient bandwidth for the download. On receiving a request for content from a user equipment (UE), the base station can directly deliver the content to the UE from the data storage device, over an air interface, when the requested content is locally available.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2012Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Robert Klein, Arthur Brisebois
