Publication number: 20240130636Abstract: A system for analyzing data from motion capture measurements has a sensor to measure motion capture measurements, a module configured to receive sensor data from the sensors, and a processor configured to analyze to the sensor data received from the sensors and create a report of such analysis. A computer-implemented method of analyzing data from motion capture measurements includes performing motion capture measurements on a subject, receiving motion capture data from the motion capture measurements, processing the motion capture data and the background data on a computer using an algorithm, including comparing the motion capture data and background data to one or more comparator waveforms, generating a report based on the processing analysis, and communicating the results of the report.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Douglas Ross Hamilton, Joseph Christie Paul Kitson, Patrick Crawford Hamilton

Patent number: 11959429Abstract: The present disclosure relates to improvements in turbocharger efficiency and more particularly to a method and system for estimating the efficiency loss of a turbocharger. The method comprises the steps of monitoring a plurality of operating parameters and determining a compressor exit temperature according to a first calibration map based on these operating parameters. An estimate of instantaneous turbocharger efficiency loss according to a second calibration map is then determined, based on the compressor exit temperature. The instantaneous turbocharger efficiency loss is used to determine an estimate of cumulative turbocharger efficiency loss during engine service. The estimate of cumulative turbocharger efficiency loss is compared with a first predetermined efficiency loss threshold and a first signal is generated if the first predetermined efficiency loss threshold is exceeded.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Stuart Paul Smith, Alistair James Dales, Ross Daniel Collins

Publication number: 20240070429Abstract: A carrier card for reduced width circuit card assemblies are described. The carrier card includes a U-shaped design. A daughter card mounts in a void in the carrier card in a co-planar fashion. The carrier card includes an upper member; a lateral member, a lower member and a front panel with optional snout. The lateral member or other member includes a carrier card electrical and/or optical connector. The lower member or other member includes a mating electrical and/or optical connector to connect with the daughter card. The upper member, the lateral member, and the lower member form or define the void.

Patent number: 8622644Abstract: A seal assembly and method of forming a seal assembly provides a seal body having reduced strain during use, thereby increasing service life. The seal body may be formed within certain parameters, such as ranges of height-to-thickness and offset-to-height ratios, which have been found to reduce strain. Additionally or alternatively, the seal body may be modified from an initial configuration to a pre-strained configuration by axially displacing an inner section of the seal with respect to an outer section of the seal, which also reduces strain.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2011Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Dan J.
