Publication number: 20240182278Abstract: A wireless hoist system including a first hoist device having a first motor and a first wireless transceiver and a second hoist device having a second motor and a second wireless transceiver. The wireless hoist system includes a controller in wireless communication with the first wireless transceiver and the second wireless. The controller is configured to receive a user input and determine a first operation parameter and a second operation parameter based on the user input. The controller is also configured to provide, wirelessly, a first control signal indicative of the first operation parameter to the first hoist device and provide, wirelessly, a second control signal indicative of the second operation parameter to the second hoist device. The first hoist device operates based on the first control signal and the second hoist device operates based on the second control signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2024Publication date: June 6, 2024Inventors: Matthew Post, Gareth Mueckl, Matthew N.

Patent number: 9869665Abstract: A system including one or more generators predicts engine oil life. Generator data is received or generated by a controller. The generator data describes the operation of the generator including a load placed on the generator. Engine data may also be received or generated by the controller describing an engine coupled to the generator. The controller calculates an estimated oil life based at least on the generator data and/or the engine data.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2014Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: Kohler, Co.Inventor: William F.
