Abstract: A fluid heating system for a work vehicle includes a pressurized fluid circuit having a pump for providing pressurized fluid to the fluid circuit. A control module for controlling a first control device is in fluid communication with the fluid circuit, the first control device operable between a first position and a second position. The first position of the first control device permits a load sense pressure to be applied through the first control device, thereby preventing pressurized fluid from the pump flowing to a pressure return tank for heating the pressurized fluid. The second position of the first control device prevents the load sense pressure from being applied through the first control device, thereby permitting pressurized fluid from the pump flowing to a pressure return tank and resulting in heating of pressurized fluid of the fluid circuit.

Abstract: A web or panel of insulation is provided that includes an extensible web of fibrous material that is configured to provide a series of openings in the expanded web. The openings within the web are filled with insulation to provide a batt or panel of thermal or acoustical insulation. More specifically, the present invention relates to insulation filled extended fibrous webs that are suitable for use as thermal or acoustical insulation in a building structure, as a partition or panel or as thermal or acoustical insulation in a motor vehicle.

Abstract: A telescoping cargo brace is disclosed in which the brace secures cargo on at least three sides while minimizing the use of walls or contact points to secure the cargo. The brace is a fork-shaped or u-shaped telescoping device that secures between adjacent walls of a storage container or transport vehicle. The forked shaped portion of the device has two parallel, spaced apart legs each of which telescopes perpendicularly from a shared cross-member. Likewise, each leg is telescoping. Thus, both the legs and the cross-member are scalable along their respective lengths to adjust to the size of a load of cargo. The brace also includes a third telescoping leg, opposite the fork-shaped portion, so as to permit the device to be installed between adjacent walls utilizing only three contact points. An adjustment mechanism controls extension of the telescoping legs and the outward pressure exerted on the walls by the brace.

Abstract: An electronic drive system using a plurality of drive circuits for enabling greater plurality of functions by selectively placing drive signals on the driver outputs at one of two possible polarities. At least one of the enabled functions taking a substantially shorter time for enablement, thereby allowing at least two of the plurality of functions to share a common driver output enabling signal.

Abstract: A remote keyless entry system includes a remote key fob or transmitting unit which may be carried by the operator. This fob may transmit coded function signals directing the vehicle to perform requested functions, e.g. unlock the doors, and an on-board receiver that receives the request and performs the function. The receiver may be reprogrammed by the customer to accept signals from a different transmitter in the event that a key fob is either lost or stolen. To program the receiver, the system is put in a programming mode by using a transmitter whose security code is already stored within the receiver. This programming mode is entered by depressing specified buttons on the transmitting unit for a predetermined amount of time. Once in the programming mode, all previous security codes are erased, and a new transmitting unit code may be programmed into the receiver by depressing any button on that unit. The receiver will chime to acknowledge to the customer that the new security code has been accepted.

Abstract: A battery protection device disconnects vehicle electronic components from a motor vehicle battery to prevent a full discharge thereof including a plurality of switches switchable between ON and OFF positions, and a control unit electrically connected to each of the switches and capable of switching each of the switches between the ON and OFF positions individually.
