Publication number: 20210205757Abstract: At least one embodiment relates to an air purifying machine comprising at least one housing and a plurality of cores wherein each core is disposed in the housing. There is also at least one fan disposed in the housing. In addition, there is at least one pump disposed in the housing, wherein the pump is configured to circulate a fluid inside of the housing. The cores comprise at least two cores disposed inside of the housing comprising a first core and a second core, wherein the second core is disposed inside of said first core and wherein the second core is not concentric with the first core. The non-concentric nature of the cores creates a compression location at a point where the two cores are disposed closest to each other. This compression location creates a higher-pressure location for air flow around the cores.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2021Publication date: July 8, 2021Applicant: Clean Air Zone Inc.Inventors: Serge B. HOYDA, Corey Lee MACPHEE, Gregg Russell DICKINSON

Patent number: 10401176Abstract: A method of determining the real time state of a machine includes receiving acceleration and angular rate of motion measurements from IMU's mounted on components of a machine. Fusing signals received from the IMU's with separate Kalman filter modules by combining an acceleration measurement and an angular rate of motion measurement from each IMU to estimate an output joint angle for the component on which the IMU is mounted. Estimated and measured values of the output joint angle for each component are combined, a kinematic equation is solved to determine a real time value for at least one of position, velocity, and acceleration of the component at successive timesteps, and the determined real time values are applied to control movement of each component.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2017Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Adam Martin Nackers, Russell Aaron Schloss, Roberto Martinez, Corey Lee Gorman
