  • Patent number: 6772714
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for controlling a cooling fan in a vehicle engine compartment, such as a tractor or combine. A fan control receives inputs from sensors and uses the sensor inputs in determining fan speeds which meet cooling needs while limiting fan energy consumption. Sensor data include at least one of PTO and transmission settings, throttle command and engine speed, and fan speed and air conditioner settings. Sensor data is received and processed in the fan control, which sends the greatest determined fan speed to a fan actuator. When the PTO is activated and the transmission is in park, fan speed can be controlled according to an alternate coolant temperature table. When throttle command is zero and engine speed is above a maximum, fan speed is set at maximum. When air conditioning is activated, fan speed is set at least at a predetermined minimum speed.

  • Patent number: 4759139
    Abstract: A removable identification collar for baby bottles. The collar has a planar portion having a wall defining a hole therethrough. The collar is placed over the neck of a bottle with the neck passing through the hole and the collar is maintained on the bottle by a standard nipple cap. The collar has a flange connected to the planar portion whereby a portion thereof is adapted to receive a gummed label. A raised ridge conforming closely to the periphery of a gummed label is provided to prevent infants from readily removing the label.
