  • Publication number: 20240410134
    Abstract: A mechanical swing brake variable control system for an earth-moving machine including an upper revolving car body with swing components mounted on the upper revolving car body, a lower traveling car body with traction components mounted on the lower traveling car body, and a mechanical service brake interconnected with the upper and lower car bodies, controls relative rotation between the upper and lower car bodies. A pressure control device controls a variable pressure applied to the mechanical service brake to vary an amount of swing drive holding torque. An electronic controller monitors and processes signals received from sensors associated with the swing components and machine operator commands, and variably controls the amount of holding torque exerted on the upper revolving car body using the mechanical service brake as a function of one or more of machine roll angle, operational configuration of the swing components, inertial mass of the swing components, and machine operator commands.

  • Publication number: 20240328125
    Abstract: Autonomous systems enable a machine, such as an excavator, to dig in a specified area with little to no human intervention. However, conventional autonomous systems require costly exteroceptive systems to monitor the terrain surface during the autonomous dig operation. Accordingly, embodiments are disclosed for estimating a terrain surface using only proprioceptive sensors, such as the linkage sensors on the work implement of an excavator. The terrain surface may be estimated by fitting a surface to one or more touchpoints collected using the work implement. The estimated terrain surface may be updated during a dig operation using a model of material flow and/or by collecting additional touchpoints. Embodiments enable a remote operator to visualize this terrain surface in a camera view by projecting the estimated terrain surface onto an image plane with a representation that depicts one or more terrain parameters.

  • Patent number: 11628258
    Abstract: A controlled delivery syringe device includes a syringe barrel having a proximal end and distal end which defines a chamber for containing an injectable material. A plunger rod is associated with the syringe barrel and a plunger is secured thereto which is axially movable within the syringe barrel. A plurality of equally and sequentially spaced periodic features are associated with the plunger rod and a counter member is engageable with the periodic features. Application of a distally directed force to the plunger rod results in disengagement and reengagement of the counter member with the sequentially spaced periodic features on the plunger rod, enabling advancement of the plunger rod and plunger in the syringe barrel while providing tactile feedback of dose progression of the injectable material. A method of retrofitting a syringe with a device for injecting a metered dose of injectable material is also provided.
