Publication number: 20250129737Abstract: The present invention provides a novel combination of devices to measure and transmit to an electronic controller data pertaining to differential pressures, temperatures, regeneration status, exhaust content, accumulated gas consumption and substitute fuel consumption. The electronic controller compares the data to thresholds; when the controller receives signals indicating these thresholds or limits are met, the controller causes the gas substitution rate to be diminished or set to zero until after-treatments elements are fully regenerated thereby facilitating integration of a mixed fuel system with an application internal combustion engine.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2024Publication date: April 24, 2025Inventors: Michael A. Schiltz, Steven Ferguson

Patent number: 9491902Abstract: A top dresser advances sand contained in a hopper on a dispensing conveyor moving at a linear speed onto a rotatable spinner rotating at a rotating speed. The linear and rotatable speeds are controlled by a controller by electrically actuating first and second electrically actuated valves providing fluid flow to hydraulic motors driving the rotatable spinner and the dispensing conveyor. The rotatable and linear speeds are inputted into an electrical display electronically connected to the controller. The hydraulic flow to the second electrically actuated valve may be solely from the first electrically actuated valve to create back pressure acting as a cushion. Multiple function switches on the electrical display may be actuated in sequence to replicate a linear line relationship between the rotational and linear speeds. Start-up, run, look up and application calculation screens may be displayed on a monitor of the electrical display.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2014Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: Turfco Manufacturing, Inc.Inventors: George Kinkead, Scott Kinkead, Kenneth Sylvester, Steven Ferguson

Patent number: 8620683Abstract: A system and method is provided for generating a multi-dimensional contextual platform that may be used to manage, diagnose, and communicate with patients in a medical practice. In particular, the system may provide a website that may provide dynamic, avatar-based interfaces that include a doctor interface and a patient interface. A doctor may create a subscription with an operator of the website in order to find new patients and view patient health records across multiple dimensions. A patient may create a subscription with the operator to locate a doctor and maintain open communications with the doctor. Once subscribed, the doctor and patient may use the website to enhance the overall healthcare experience by using social networking aspects of the website to facilitate doctor and patient communication in real-time.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2011Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: Myca Health Inc.Inventors: Nathaniel B.
