  • Patent number: 11613453
    Abstract: A method for controlling a hydraulic control system that includes a variable pressure relief valve and may include steps for calibrating the hydraulic control system. The hydraulic control system may be calibrated by: controlling, with the controller, the variable pressure relief valve to move to a fully open position, increasing, with the pump, a fluid pressure upstream of the variable pressure relief valve, controlling, with the controller, the variable pressure relief valve to move from the fully open position toward a fully closed position by adjusting a control signal supplied to the variable pressure relief valve, monitoring, with the controller, the pressure detected by the pressure sensor, and recording, with the controller, a parameter of the control signal supplied to the variable pressure relief valve when the pressure detected by the pressure sensor reaches a target pressure.

  • Patent number: 4231446
    Abstract: An acoustical reproducing apparatus is disclosed for high fidelity sound reproduction comprising a speaker unit in combination with a cabinet enclosure acting as a resonating chamber. The resonating chamber has a rhombic dodecahedron configuration having speaker-mounting openings located on two or more opposed rhombi, or with one or more corner thereof being truncated and terminated in a baffle plate having an opening for mounting the speaker unit, or with one or more elongated or shortened zone and provided with either of the foregoing means of mounting speaker units. The resonating chamber includes a plurality of rhombus-shaped and/or parallelogram-shaped panels.
