Patent CA-2419039-A1 (CA)
Title: Electronic air charge controller for vehicular compressed air system
Inventor: KNIGHT DAVID J
IPC: F02D29/02
Filed: 2001-08-07
Abstract: An electronic air charge controller (36) for a tractor trailer vehicle air brake system includes a micro controller, a first pressure sensor (38) interface coupled to the micro controller, a second pressure sensor (40) interface coupled to the micro controller, and a vehicle control (34) protocol interface coupled to the micro controller. The micro controller, in response to a signal received from the first pressure sensor (38) interface indicative of an air supply recharge condition, a signal received from the second pressure sensor (40) indicative of parking brake engagement condition, and a signal from the vehicle control (34) protocol interface indicative of an engine start condition, supplies a maximum engine speed control signal to the vehicle control (34) protocol interface. The time required to charge the air supply system to the required normal operating level is thereby minimized. In addition, a transmission sensor (37) interface is preferably coupled to the micro controller. The micro controller does not generate the maximum engine speed control signal unless a signal supplied by the transmission sensor (3) interface indicates that an automatic transmission is in park or a manual transmission is in neutral. Still further, to improve operating efficiency, a vehicle load condition signal is supplied by the vehicle control (34) protocol interface to the micro controller. In response, the micro controller supplies a pause air compressor charging cycle signal or a pause air dryer recycle signal to the vehicle control (34) protocol interface, if either the air compressor (28) or air dryer (30) is operating when a high load condition is encountered.

Title: Method and apparatus for detecting a dry/wet state of a dual exposed thermistor bead liquid level sensor
Inventor: COFFMAN KEITH EUGENE
IPC: G01F23/24
Filed: 2003-10-24
Abstract: A method of detecting a dry/wet state of a dual thermistor bead sensor over a wide operating temperature range comprises the steps of conducting first and second predetermined currents through one and another of the thermistor beads of the sensor, respectively, the second predetermined current being substantially less than the first predetermined current; measuring a first voltage across the one thermistor bead in response to the first predetermined current and generating a first signal representative thereof; measuring a second voltage across the other thermistor bead in response to the second predetermined current and generating a second signal representative thereof; modifying the second signal by an offset and gain to generate a third signal; and detecting the dry/wet state of the sensor over the wide operating temperature range based on the first and third signals. The first predetermined current is conducted through the one thermistor bead at an average current which renders the one thermistor bead a sense thermistor bead, and the second predetermined current is conducted through the other thermistor bead at an average current which renders the other thermistor bead a reference thermistor bead. Apparatus for implementing this method is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus for a management station to manage a node cluster in a computer network. Regardless which node in the node cluster receives a management command from the management station to the master node , the management command is sent to the master node. The master node prepares a command response and sends the response back to the original node that received the management command. The original node, in turn, forwards the command response to the management station. The invention utilizes managemen t agents executing on a master node and servant nodes to create and process th e command response.
