Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a body supported on the chassis, a pump, a tank configured to supply hydraulic fluid to the pump, and a service indicator configured to provide an indication of a fluid level within the tank. The service indicator includes a light, a graphic on a display, or a symbol in an augmented reality overlay. The service indicator is configured to provide the indication of the fluid level within the tank in response to a request signal.

Abstract: A hydraulic system includes a support structure, a hydraulic actuator, a rigid tube, a flexible tube, and a fluid port. At least a portion of the hydraulic actuator is movable between a retracted orientation and an extended orientation relative to the support structure. A first rigid tube end of the rigid tube is coupled to the hydraulic actuator. A second flexible tube end is coupled to a second rigid tube end of the rigid tube. The fluid port is coupled to the support structure so that the rigid tube moves relative to the fluid port between the retracted orientation and the extended orientation. The fluid port is coupled to the second flexible tube end so that the second rigid tube end and the fluid port are disposed along the same reference plane when the hydraulic actuator is in both the retracted orientation and the extended orientation.

Abstract: A cooking or baking oven can include a hood having a vent outlet and a cooking chamber having a rack positioned therein. The cooking or baking oven can also include a heating chamber separated from the cooking chamber, a fuel burner, a fuel burner blower operably coupled to the fuel burner, a burner tube having an inlet end and an outlet end, the inlet end coupled to the fuel burner, and a flue having an inlet end coupled to the outlet end of the burner tube and an outlet end coupled to the hood, the flue having an opening. The cooking or baking oven can also include a damping system having a damper lid coupled to the flue, the damper lid moveable between an open position and a closed position, the damper lid in the closed position covering the opening; a damper motor; and a damper arm coupled to the damper lid and the damper motor, the damper motor rotatably moving the damper arm to move the damper lid between the open and closed positions. Related systems and methods are also provided.

Abstract: A wireless communication system for use in a process environment uses mesh and possibly a combination of mesh and point-to-point communications to produce a wireless communication network that can be easily set up, configured, changed and monitored, thereby making a wireless communication network that is less expensive, and more robust and reliable. The wireless communication system allows virtual communication paths to be established and used within the process control system in a manner that is independent of the manner in which the wireless signals are sent between different wireless transmitting and receiving devices within the process plant. Still further, communication analysis tools are provided to enable a user or operator to view the operation of the wireless communication network to thereby analyze the ongoing operation of the wireless communications within the wireless communication network.

Abstract: A wireless communication system for use in a process control environment includes a reference node adapted to determine geographic positions of at least some of the reference node, a base node, and a field node and determine RF power settings of transceivers attached to the reference node, the base node, and the field node based on the position of determined geographic positions. Additionally, the reference node is adapted to determine RF noise level at a plurality of locations within the process control environment at a plurality of times and to adjust the RF power settings based on the determined RF noise levels. The reference node may be implemented on a hand-held device.
