  • Publication number: 20210095437
    Abstract: A method for machine grade assist includes determining whether user input will cause an implement of a machine to dig below a desired grade. User input to move a stick of an excavator can be blocked and/or delayed using hydraulic pressure so that movement of both the stick and the boom of the excavator can be synchronized to prevent a bucket of the excavator from digging below a desired grade when the stick is moved.

  • Publication number: 20210096972
    Abstract: A computerized apparatus for presenting vibration data that is read under different conditions as a single trend line on a chart. A sensor measures vibration and produces vibration data. A memory stores the vibration data, an indicator of the condition under which the vibration data was produced, and a type associated with the vibration data. A processor reads the vibration data, the condition, and the type from the memory, and selectively plots the vibration data on the trend line when the type of the vibration data matches a given value, even though the condition might be different from data point to data point on the trend line. The processor selectively creates a flag indicating a condition change, and an interface presents a plot of the trend line, and the flag when a condition change occurs between data points.

  • Publication number: 20210095701
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for dithering hydraulic valves to mitigate static friction (“stiction”) associated with the hydraulic valves. A first hydraulic valve and a second hydraulic valve are dithered to mitigate stiction associated with those valves. The dithering of the first and second hydraulic valves also cause dithering of a main hydraulic valve associated with the first and second hydraulic valves. Accordingly, stiction of three hydraulic valves of a hydraulic system is mitigated.

  • Publication number: 20210093987
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for passive self-cleaning filtration of a liquid containing suspended solids is disclosed. A filter assembly of upright cylindrical filter tubes having open, downwardly-facing ends is placed within a tank of unfiltered liquid. The filter assembly is positioned in the flow of liquid through the tank such that the unfiltered liquid must pass through the filter tubes prior to discharge from the tank. The inner walls of the filter tubes are smooth with small filtering holes. Unfiltered liquid is passes up into the filter tubes and the solids are collected in the tubes and on the smooth walls. Filtered liquid that has passed through the filter tubes is kept separated from the unfiltered liquid by a barrier that functionally prevents passage of unfiltered liquid. The filtered liquid is passed out of the tank. A filter housing protects the filtered liquid and the outside surface of the filter tubes from unfiltered liquid.

  • Patent number: 10962098
    Abstract: A wave generator for a strain wave gearing is provided with a rigid plug having an ellipsoidal plug-outer-circumferential surface, and a ring-shaped displacement body that is flexed to an ellipsoidal shape by the plug. The ring-shaped displacement body is provided with a plurality of radially arranged displacing sections. The plug-contacting surfaces of the displacing sections are in sliding contact with the plug-outer-circumferential surface and when the plug rotates, the displacing sections are repeatedly displaced in the radial direction. By the displacement of the displacing sections, wave motion is generated in an external gear. It is possible to achieve a wave generator capable of generating wave motion in the external gear with a small rotational torque.
