  • Patent number: 8037681
    Abstract: A hydrostatic drive system (1) has a load-sensing pump (2) with an adjustable discharge volume and at least one consumer connected to the pump (2). The discharge volume of the pump (2) can be set by a discharge volume control device (6) that sets the delivery pressure of the pump available in a delivery line (4) of the pump (2) so that it is higher by a pilot control pressure difference than the load pressure of the consumer. The discharge volume control device (6) can be actuated by an electronic control device (7) functionally connected with a sensor device (9) for measuring the load pressure of the consumer and with a sensor device (8) for measuring the delivery pressure available in the delivery line (4). A circulation device (15) is associated with the delivery line (4) to control the connection of the delivery line (4) with a reservoir (3).

  • Patent number: 5825299
    Abstract: An object identification system comprises a transceiver (1) and a transponder (30) including memories (33,34) for storing an identification code identifying the transponder. Circuits (35, 36, 37, 38) generate an identification signal representative of the identification code such that the identification signal is modulated by bits of the identification code. Circuits (8, 9, 10, 11, 12) of the transceiver receive and interpret the identification signal. The transponder includes a variable code generator (32) and a controller (31) for controlling the writing of the variable code into memory (33) so that the variable code constitutes part of the identification code. The variable code may be a random or pseudo-random code.

  • Patent number: 5361584
    Abstract: A hydrostatic drive system including a pump and a hydraulic motor in an open circuit which includes a feed line and a control valve in the feed line on the inflow side of the hydraulic motor to control the quantity of hydraulic pressure medium supplied to the hydraulic motor. A brake valve is located in the open circuit on the outflow side of the hydraulic motor to receive hydraulic pressure medium flowing out of the hydraulic motor. The control valve and the brake valve are constructed for independent actuation so that the functions of the control valve and the brake valve can be reversed when the direction of rotation of the hydraulic motor is reversed and the actuating pressure on the brake valve in the braking phase depends on the inflow pressure to the hydraulic motor independently of the actuating pressure on the control valve.
