Publication number: 20210192546Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for tracking user activity with products in an environment. In an embodiment, a processor detects that a user has entered an environment, and responsively uniquely identifies the user. The processor determines that the user interacts with a product of a plurality of products within the environment, and responsively updates a profile of the user with indicia of the product. The processor determines whether the user is attempting to exit the environment, and, in response to determining that the user is attempting to exit the environment, prompts the user to confirm that the user intends to remove the product from the environment based on the updated profile. The processor receives input from the user confirming that the user intends to remove the product from the environment, and responsively further updates the profile based on the input.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2021Publication date: June 24, 2021Inventors: Vivek Jayan, Andrew McElroy, Kumar Ujjwal

Patent number: 8210135Abstract: A ventilation system for use with an internal combustion engine having a crankcase is disclosed. The ventilation system may have a breather housing connected to ventilate gases from the crankcase, and a filtration canister fluidly connected downstream of the breather housing. The filtration canister may have a filter housing, a filtering medium located within the filter housing to collect oil from the gases, and an oil collection container disposed within the filter housing and being configured to receive at least a portion of the filtering medium. The oil collection container may have a drain port in fluid communication with the crankcase. The filtration canister may also have at least one port configured to discharge the gases from the housing after the gases have passed through the filtering medium.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2008Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Seth Evan Slaughter, James Richard Weber, James Carl Durand, Richard Francis Norton, Mark Andrew McElroy, Mark Taylor Allott, Joseph John Stabnik, Nilkanth Dinesh Desai, Seth Carl Studnicka
