  • Publication number: 20230388149
    Abstract: In some implementations, a controller may receive event information associated with one or more events associated with the system, wherein the event information indicates flexible event indicator annunciation information for respective events of the one or more events. The controller may configure the event information for the one or more events. The controller may transmit, to a display device, an event information message, associated with an event of the one or more events, that includes flexible event indicator annunciation information, associated with the event, to be displayed by the display device when the event is active.

  • Patent number: 8950446
    Abstract: An electric generator set fuel control system is disclosed. The fuel control system includes an electric generator, a prime mover mechanically coupled to the generator, a first fuel tank, a fuel level sensor configured to generate a fuel level signal indicative of a fuel level in the first fuel tank, a fuel loading operator input device configured to generate a fuel loading signal, a fueling mode operator input device configured to generate a fueling mode signal, and a control module. The first fuel tank is configured to supply fuel to the prime mover, and selectively receive or supply fuel to a second fuel tank through a fuel pump. The control module is configured to generate a fuel transfer signal as a function of the fuel loading signal, the fueling mode signal, and the fuel level signal.

  • Patent number: 4378825
    Abstract: There is claimed a log splitter comprising means for penetrating a log, a handle pivotally mounted for manual operation, a cam shaped sheave which is rotated by rotation of the handle, a ratchet and pawl assembly which transmits force from the handle to the sheave, a drive cable attached so that it is wound onto said sheave, and as said drive cable is wound onto the sheave it causes a sharpened edge to penetrate the log, splitting the log, and the cam shape of the sheave produces large mechanical advantage as the log is initially penetrated, and lesser mechanical advantage but greater travel distance as the penetration continues.
