Patent number: 11001315Abstract: An operator station is provided. The operator station may include a platform. The platform may at least partially extend along a plane. The operator station may include a first linkage member attached to a first portion of the platform and a second linkage member attached to a second portion of the platform. The first linkage member may be pivotal with respect to a first pivot axis, and the second linkage member may be pivotal with respect to a second pivot axis. The operator station may include an actuating member attached to the first linkage member. The actuating member may actuate the first linkage member for pivoting the first linkage member in a first direction and pivoting the second linkage member in the first direction. The platform may linearly translate in the plane during pivoting of the first linkage member and the second linkage member.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2018Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: Caterpillar Paving Products Inc.Inventors: Nick Johnson, Ryan Hutar

Patent number: 7466691Abstract: An enhanced circuit-switched media transmission over packet-switched, or Internet Protocol, access networks. Access legs of calls between terminal devices are monitored at a gateway positioned at the interface between packet-switched and circuit-switched networks. Access legs are identified which connect terminal devices residing in the same access network through monitoring of media data transmission. Terminal devices with identified connections are instructed to communicate directly while the gateway maintains the connection on the circuit-switched network.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2004Date of Patent: December 16, 2008Assignee: IP Access LtdInventors: Neil Piercy, Nick Johnson
