  • Patent number: 12071964
    Abstract: A hose assembly for a hydraulic system, the hose assembly includes: a first hose coupled a pump with a hydraulic actuator using a first port, wherein the first hose comprises a first electronic device configured to provide identification information for the first hose, a second hose coupled with the hydraulic actuator with a hydraulic return component using a second port, wherein the second hose comprises a second electronic device configured to provide identification information for the second hose; and a controller. The controller receives connection signals and identification information for the first hose and the second hose, determines a connection fault based on at least one of the first connection signal and the second connection signal, and adjusts internal operation of a hydraulic manifold.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11773881
    Abstract: A hose assembly for a hydraulic system is shown. The hose assembly includes a first hose that fluidly couples a pump with a hydraulic actuator using a first port. The first hose includes a first electronic device that provides identification information for the first hose. The hose assembly further includes a second hose that fluidly couples the hydraulic actuator with a reservoir tank using a second port. The second hose includes a second electronic device that provides identification information for the second hose. The hose assembly further includes a controller that receives a first connection signal and a second connection signal. The controller is further configured to determine that the first hose has fluidly coupled using the first port based on the first connection signal and determine that the second hose has fluidly coupled using the second port based on the second connection signal.

  • Publication number: 20070167253
    Abstract: A putter-type club head and system having interchangeable alignment inserts and interchangeable weight members which allow for the modification of the playing characteristics of the putter-type club head. The putter-type club head has a body defining a front face and an aft side, first and second spaced, aft-members extending substantially perpendicularly out of the aft side, interchangeable bridge members of varying weights that may be installed on the distal ends of the first and second spaced, aft-members and various interchangeable alignment inserts that may be removably installed between the first and second spaced, aft-members of the club head.
