  • Publication number: 20140271290
    Abstract: A pump has a packing nut extending into an open end of the plunger bore and a device coupled to the packing nut. The device includes first body coupled to a second body to form a body of the device. A first post connected to the body and a second post connected to the body. The first post extending into a first opening of the packing nut and the second post extends into a second opening of the packing nut to couple said device to said packing nut. A stop forms a portion of the device. When the body is in a locked orientation, the stop of the device abuts or will abut, when the nut is rotated in a loosening direction, a connecting assembly of the pump. When the body is in the unlocked orientation, the second post is moveable, relative to the first body and the first post, in a direction out of the second opening, and a first portion of said second body, exclusive of said second post, is moveable in a direction relative to said first body and first post.

  • Patent number: 7864736
    Abstract: A method of roaming in a packet communication system during a call is disclosed. The method of roaming has a scanning process and a connection process. During the scanning process, one or more available access points (AP's) are scanned-for. The one or more available AP's are prioritized into a prioritized AP list based on at least one criterion in addition to a received signal strength indicator (RSSI). During the connection process, a decision is made to roam from an existing AP to a new AP. A connection is made to the new AP, wherein the new AP is selected from the prioritized AP list. Associated methods, systems, and data signals are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20100317486
    Abstract: A first motor 3 and a second motor 4 of variable displacement type are in parallel to each other connected to a hydraulic pump 2 in a closed circuit, through which the output torque from the first motor 3 is transmitted to an output shaft 6. A clutch control unit 10 controls a clutch device 15 as: when the engine speed is N1, which is the case where the accelerator pedal is fully depressed, the clutch is disengaged at the vehicle speed v1. When the engine speed is N3(<N1), which is the case where the accelerator pedal is half depressed, the clutch is disengaged at the vehicle speed v3(<v1).

  • Publication number: 20100138118
    Abstract: This invention provides a traveling system for an engineering machine, adapted to limit a maximum traveling speed of the machine without causing decreases in engineering work efficiency or in accelerating performance during a start of traveling, and to improve fuel efficiency by suppressing a loss of engine output horsepower under the limited state of the maximum traveling speed. During fourth-gear shift control process, capacities of first and second hydraulic motors 23, 24 are controlled in coordinative form and the second hydraulic motor 24 has its minimum tilting amount limited to a tilting amount limit q2cmin. In addition, when a tilting amount of the first hydraulic motor 23 reaches a minimum tilting amount q1min, the engine 10 has its maximum engine speed limited to a first engine speed limit Ncmax1 (e.g., 1,800 rpm).
