  • Patent number: 9964048
    Abstract: Systems and methods for adaptive throttle filtering are disclosed. One method includes receiving vertical acceleration data indicative of a plurality of vertical accelerations of a machine, receiving first throttle pedal data indicative of a plurality of throttle pedal movements, determining a filter factor based at least on the vertical acceleration data, filtering the first throttle pedal data, based at least on the filter factor, to determine second throttle pedal data, and causing the second throttle pedal data to be transmitted to a controller to effectuate control of an operation of an engine.

  • Patent number: 5331713
    Abstract: A floor scrubber with recycled cleaning solution provides a single cleaning solution tank. Cleaning solution is delivered to powered scrubbers, and particulate-bearing contaminated cleaning solution is vacuumed from the floor after use by the scrubbers. The particulate-laden cleaning solution is returned to the storage tank through a primary large area filter located within the storage tank. Subsequently, the partially regenerated cleaning solution is pumped out of the tank through an intermediate filter and is discharged to the scrubbers through a pair of series-connected filters capable of removing very small particles from the cleaning solution. Rechargeable batteries power the unit. The unit can be operated as a self-contained unit without servicing for a period of at least about six to eight hours.
