Abstract: A system for interoperating and communicating data from a device having a communications gateway and at least one tactical device connected to an electrified rail providing electrical power. The system includes at least one processor, and at least one non-transitory computer-readable data storage device storing data instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to receive an event from the device, determine whether the event triggers a workflow, and execute an action on the device in response to the workflow being triggered.

Abstract: A laser scanning method and system for determining an outline of an object. A laser beam is projected at the object and a surface underlying the object. The surface is configured to reflect the laser beam differently than the object. The laser beam is reflected off the object and the surface producing reflected beams. The reflected beams are received by a control which determines whether the beam was reflected from the object or the surface. By identifying this with the laser position the control can identify the part outline. As the laser beam is scanned over successive positions along the surface, the outline of the object is precisely determined.

The reflected beams are received by a control which determines whether the beam was reflected from the object or the surface. By identifying this with the laser position the control can identify the part outline. As the laser beam is scanned over successive positions along the surface, the outline of the object is precisely determined. In a preferred embodiment, the laser scanning system further includes a transparent support for supporting the object a predetermined distance from the surface thereby increasing the scanning resolution and improving the accuracy of the system.

Abstract: A process for removal of H.sub.2 S from gas streams is described, the process being characterized by use of a novel iron chelate treating solution containing a specified ferric to ferrous chelate ratio, aqueous ammonia, and thiosulfate ion.

Abstract: An industrial loader includes a fan and radiator assembly mounted above the engine thereof. The assembly comprises a housing mounted on the loader main frame. A pair of radiator cores are located in opposite sides of the housing. A pair of fore-and-aft aligned, hydraulically driven fans are mounted in the housing and operate to draw cooling air in through the cores and discharge it vertically through the top of the housing.

Abstract: An emergency or backup steering system includes a backup pump which is driven by an electric motor. A control circuit for the motor automatically energizes it upon the main supply of hydraulic power steering fluid becoming inadequate for normal steering operation. The control circuit provides for checkout of the portions thereof governing actuation of the backup system and provides for indicating failure in the backup system of both the electrical and hydraulic portions thereof.

Abstract: A pair of return fluid filters are supported within a main cavity of a hydraulic fluid reservoir for receiving fluid from the bottoms of respective return fluid cavities defined by a housing fixed to a top wall of the reservoir. Respective access covers close the cavities and are connected to the return fluid filters and to respective removable bottom plates of the cavities such that the filters may be withdrawn from the main cavity, via the return fluid cavities, for service or replacement. Each cavity is provided with a bypass valve which acts to bypass return fluid directly from the associated return fluid cavity to the main cavity in the event that the associated filter becomes clogged. Mounted on the housing in alignment with the bypass valves are respective switches which are respectively operated in response to movement of the bypass valves to their bypass position to energize a light to indicate the clogged filter condition to an operator.

Abstract: An emergency steering system includes a backup pump which is driven by an electric motor, a control circuit for the motor includes a flow sensing switch and a pressure-sensing switch connected in series and operative to automatically energize the motor when a main pump is outputting no flow and the pressure at the pump outlet is below a predetermined minimum value for adequate steering operation.

Abstract: The accoustic noise suppression apparatus is mounted opposite a radiator which is in fluid communication with a liquid cooled internal combustion engine having fan generated air flow through the radiator to encounter the noise suppression apparatus. The noise suppression apparatus is tri-sectional, each section including accoustic energy absorbing material. The noise suppression apparatus alter the flow path of the fan driven air flow, exhausting the air to the surrounding environment while decreasing the amount of accoustic noise received by the surrounding environment.

Abstract: A fuel flow control lever is pivotably mounted for movement between fuel-off and fuel-on positions wherein it respectively engages first and second stops. A solenoid has its plunger linked to the control lever and when the solenoid is deenergized, a spring acting on the plunger holds the latter in an extended position wherein it holds the lever in its fuel-off position. A pair of coils surround the plunger and are selectively simultaneously energizable to retract the plunger to effect movement of the lever to its fuel-on position. The linkage between the plunger and lever is yieldable and the lever reaches its fuel-on position prior to the plunger becoming fully retracted. Upon the plunger becoming fully retracted, a normally closed switch is opened to de-energize one of the coils.
