  • Publication number: 20240133464
    Abstract: A hydrostatic transmission control system includes a controller that monitors inputs for shifting a transmission of a tractor to a different range gear; determines if an engine on the tractor is operating in a desired and acceptable shift range based on a sensed speed and a load of the engine, and determines if a hydrostatic transmission on the tractor is operating in a desired and acceptable shift range based on a sensed load and a speed of the hydrostatic transmission. If the controller determines the engine and the hydrostatic transmission are operating in the desired and acceptable shift range, the controller commands an oncoming clutch to ramp up and an off going clutch to ramp down, and synchronizes speeds of the engine and the hydrostatic transmission.

  • Publication number: 20060164236
    Abstract: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags have the capability of sending large strings of numbers unique to that tag using radio waves. This application looks to use RFID tags to assist navigation and location tracking within a building. The RFID tags, which have a radiation range of 3 feet, will be placed on the floor of the building. Each tag will represent an area on the floor with a number which can be accessed by passing an RFID reader over the area of the tag. A computer program in the RFID reader will be able to translate the number using a database into voice, print the information on the screen, search the database for items, or give directions to certain items. Also a program will be created so store managers can update the database and use a map of the building to easily write descriptions for each RFID tag area.

  • Publication number: 20040089561
    Abstract: A method and package for storing a pressurized container which is filled with a drug formulation at a predetermined pressure. The drug formulation includes a mixture of a drug and a propellant. The package which encloses the pressurized container substantially prevents ingression of water vapor and particulate matter into the package while permitting egression of the propellant which may leak from the pressurized container.

  • Publication number: 20030051727
    Abstract: The subject matter relates to an overcap (10) containing a desiccant (30) for use with a metered dose inhaler (12) to adsorb moisture. The overcap advantageously reduces the amount and rate of moisture ingress into the metered dose inhaler. The operation of metered dose inhalers containing agroscopic drug particles is improved by reducing moisture ingress.
