Patent number: 12152515Abstract: An engine braking system includes a camshaft, a follower, an exhaust armature, a lever, and a hydraulically actuated piston. The camshaft includes at least one cam. The cam has a lobe and a brake bump. The follower engages the cam. The exhaust armature is coupled to the follower. The lever is coupled to the exhaust armature. The hydraulically actuated piston moves the lever. Hydraulic actuation of the piston causes a change in lash distance between the cam and the follower. In an engine brake mode, the follower contacts the cam throughout rotation of the cam.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2022Date of Patent: November 26, 2024Assignee: DEERE & COMPANYInventors: Kyle D. Redfern, Neil S. Erickson, Gregory J. Horton

Patent number: 12000575Abstract: An automated dimming load controller automatically measures the relationship between the current draw and the dimmer setting for each light or group of lights connected to the load controller. Once measured, the relationship between the current draw and the dimmer setting can be used to enable the dimmer controller to adjust the lights between their minimum and maximum effective illumination. This automatic setting of the dimmer controller may be performed regularly to accommodate changes in performance or replacement of any of the connected lights, drivers or ballasts.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2023Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: The Watt Stopper, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan P. Cartrette, Peter J. Horton
