  • Systems, apparatuses, and methods for determining rock mass properties based on blasthole drill performance data including compensated blastability index (CBI)
    Patent number: 12091968
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for determining intact versus fractured rock zones based on performance monitoring of an electric drilling machine when drilling a blasthole. The determination can be based on a calculation of compensated blastability index (“CBI”) values using transformed performance monitoring data collected in real-time as the drilling machine drills the blasthole.
    Type: Grant

  • Vehicle and method for controlling an engine in a vehicle
    Patent number: 7335131
    Abstract: A method for controlling an engine in a vehicle including a transmission is provided. The method utilizes feedforward control by determining when a neutral transmission gear is selected, and adjusting an engine parameter to control the engine operation based on at least one predetermined condition when it is determined that the neutral transmission gear has been selected. The at least one predetermined condition includes having a value of a vehicle parameter, such as a battery state of charge, being outside a predetermined range.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING PRESSURE IN AN INTAKE MANIFOLD OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
    Publication number: 20070261654
    Abstract: A pressure reducing system and method for an internal combustion engine. The system includes an intake manifold and an evacuation subsystem. The intake manifold is associated with the internal combustion engine. The evacuation subsystem is selectively fluidly coupled to the intake manifold. The evacuation subsystem is operative to reduce pressure in the intake manifold during start-up of the internal combustion engine.
