  • Patent number: 9790837
    Abstract: A mounting assembly for mounting a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) system within a work vehicle may generally include a support bracket having a first side and a second side. The mounting assembly may also include a mount plate configured to be coupled to the first side of the bracket. The mount plate may include first and second plate walls and may define an elongated slot through the first plate wall. Additionally, the assembly may include a retention band configured to at least partially wrap around a housing of the DOC system between a first end configured to be coupled to the mount plate and a second end configured to be coupled to the second side of the support bracket. The mount plate may be configured to be moved laterally relative to the support bracket to allow the retention band to be tightened and loosened around the housing.

  • Publication number: 20090065072
    Abstract: There is a water collection apparatus for attachment to a water downpipe (1) from which a section has been deleted to form an upper discharge end (3) spaced above a lower inlet end (4). The apparatus includes a water receptacle (5) with an inflow passage (6) for positioning below the upper discharge end and an overflow passage (7) for connection to the lower inlet end. The inflow and overflow passages (6), (7) are arranged so that in a position of use the receptacle (5) is offset from the downpipe (1). There is at least one connection fitting (14), (15) for an outlet conduit from the receptacle. The inflow passage has a debris segregation screen 9 for separating out debris from incoming water flow.

  • Publication number: 20080078525
    Abstract: A cooling system for a work vehicle is disclosed that includes first and second heat exchangers disposed one above the other to create two discrete flow paths. The upper heat exchanger is an engine water cooler and the lower heat exchanger may be an intercooler, an oil cooler or a refrigerant condenser. The lower heat exchanger is disposed forward of the upper heat exchanger. Additional heat exchangers may be positioned in front of the first and second heat exchangers to provide additional cooling. The first and second heat exchanger may be cross-flow heat exchangers conducting the fluid to be cooled laterally through the core of the heat exchanger.

  • Patent number: 6987583
    Abstract: A color television receiver system processes color difference signals for providing tint control while maintaining uniform color amplitude with respect to changes in hue shift angle. The color difference signals are modified as a function of each other and as a function of a hue shift angle to produce modified color difference signals. A color difference signal [B-Y] is supplied as a first input to multipliers M1 and M3. Another color difference signal [R-Y] is supplied as a first input to another pair of multipliers M2 and M4. A control signal generator produces output signals sin ? and cos ? where ? is the hue shift angle. The sin ? signal is supplied as a second input to multipliers M1 and M4 while the cos ? signal is supplied as a second input to multipliers M2 and M3. The outputs of M1 and M2 are added in an adder A1 to produce a modified output [R-Y]?.
