  • SEALANT SPREADER DEVICE FOR USE IN PREPARING HOLES FOR GLUED-IN-ROD STRUCTURES
    Publication number: 20240116207
    Abstract: A sealant spreader device fills voids around a drilled hole with sealant in glued-in-rod (GIR) structures. A liquid sealant may be applied to the base of a drilled hole. A sealant spreader device is then inserted to the base of the drilled hole, through the sealant. The sealant spreader device is then withdrawn while rotating. The sealant spreader device includes winged sections having contours which force the sealant radially outward toward walls of the hole, into any voids around the circumference of the drilled hole, and leaves a thin layer of sealant around the circumference of the drilled hole.

  • High speed downshift management
    Patent number: 10046768
    Abstract: In order to reduce drivetrain component wear and tear, a machine monitors for an impending downshift and automatically slows the machine to a speed that keeps engine rpm below a target engine rpm before the downshift is completed. A controller in the machine determines the current speed of the machine and then slows the machine to a new speed associated with the target rpm in the new gear. The controller may simply apply the brakes to slow the machine to the new speed independently of the process of changing gears or may actively delay the gear change until the new speed is achieved.
