Patent number: 12241443Abstract: A system for preventing an engine included in a work machine from restarting, after the work machine is tipped over. A sensor included in the work machine is configured to detect a tipping incident. If a tipping incident is detected, the sensor sends out a signal configured to shut down the engine and a tilt signal configured to prevent the engine from restarting. The engine is only restarted if certain steps are undertaken by an operator and a reset switch is activated.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2024Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: The Charles Machine Works, Inc.Inventor: Jacob Harman

Patent number: 12123174Abstract: A hydraulic control system for use with a work machine. The work machine has a platform which supports an operator. When the operator is not on the platform, the platform moves into a first position, causing a signal generator to send a signal to a controller. The controller is configured to limit the hydraulic flow to the ground drive motor when the platform is in the first position. The controller may directly reduce operation of the engine, or may adjust a valve which diverts a portion of hydraulic flow. The limitation may be overridden when desired by the operator.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2023Date of Patent: October 22, 2024Assignee: The Charles Machine Works, Inc.Inventors: Brant Douglas Kukuk, Jacob Harman, Christopher Trimble, Monty Kyle Hawkins

Patent number: 12049816Abstract: A system for tracking and steering a downhole tool using an augmented reality device. A tracker tracks the location of a downhole tool as it moves underground and transmits data to the device, while one or more sensors measure a position and orientation of the device. The device analyzes the data received from the tracker and the sensors and generates a virtual image of the downhole tool. The virtual image is displayed on the device at its detected location relative to the ground surface and relative to the position of the device. The position of the displayed virtual image is modified in response to updated information from the tracker or the sensors. Virtual images representing various parameters of the drilling operation are also displayed on the device in juxtaposition with the virtual image of the downhole tool.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2023Date of Patent: July 30, 2024Assignee: The Charles Machine Works, Inc.Inventors: Bradley S. Marshall, Scott B. Cole, Jacob Harman, Klayton Day Jones, Brian K. Bailey, Victor D. Camara Puerto

Patent number: 10883324Abstract: A control system for an offboard fluid supply system. The fluid supply system has mud supply pump which may be controlled by a local control system disposed at the fluid supply system. The mud supply pump may also be controlled by a remote control system disposed on a drilling rig. The mud supply pump provides fluid through a conduit to a drill string on the drilling rig. The local control system and the remote control system are paired such that only one of each is connected at one time. While paired, information from both the fluid supply system and drilling rig may be displayed by either control system.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2018Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: The Charles Machine Works, Inc.Inventors: Virgil H.
