  • Patent number: 11845446
    Abstract: A method is provided for predicting a risk for rollover of a working machine for load transportation. The method includes: obtaining ground topographic data of a geographical area located close to the working machine from a ground topographic detection system; extracting a ground gradient from the ground topographic data; obtaining weight information of the load being currently transported by means of an on-board load weighting system or by receiving load information originating from the device that loaded the load being currently transported; determining a current maximal allowed ground gradient for the working machine based on the weight information; and predicting a risk for working machine rollover if the working machine approaches a geographical area including a ground gradient exceeding or being close to the current maximal allowed ground gradient for the working machine.

  • Patent number: 8352127
    Abstract: A control system for a working machine includes a device for changing direction of the working machine, an operator controlled lever, and an electronic control unit adapted to receive an input signal indicative of desired direction from the position of the operator controlled element and to generate an output signal for producing a change of direction of the working machine, corresponding to the position of the operator controlled element, via said device. The control system includes an electronic safety device adapted to be controlled by the position of the operator controlled element and adapted to allow control of the device via the output signal and to block control of the device via the output signal, respectively, depending on the position of the operator controlled element.

  • Patent number: 8066307
    Abstract: In percussion rock drilling a screw joint for a drill run or drill string including male and female screw threads (5, 9) on the elements (1, 2) are joined together to form a drill string. Within the screw joint the male thread (5) and the female thread (9) have a trapezoidal shape and a slight conical inclination.
