Title: Method of reducing fuel consumption in loaders, excavators, backhoe loaders and the like
Inventor: ROBERT NICHOLAS HARPER
IPC: F02D41/14
Filed: 2019-07-22
Abstract: A method of reducing fuel consumption in a machine (100, Fig 1) with an internal combustion engine. The engine is controlled using a first engine map that defines primary operating constraints. In a ground propulsion mode, power is provided by the engine via a gearbox to a propulsion apparatus. In an implement propulsion mode, the gearbox is disengaged, and power is provided by the engine to a hydraulic pump. In the implement propulsion mode the engine is controlled to target a desired engine speed, obtaining an initial torque limit value from a library of secondary operating constraints that fall within the primary operating constraints. A torque limit is implemented that corresponds to the initial torque limit value such that in an event that a torque demand exceeds the torque limit the engine speed will drop below the desired engine speed. If the engine speed drops below a first threshold engine speed the torque limit is increased beyond the initial torque limit value. The machine may comprise a hybrid propulsion mode and / or be a loader, excavator, backhoe or other apparatus. A machine with an internal combustion engine used for both ground propulsion and hydraulic implement propulsion is also claimed.

IPC: G05B23/02
Filed: 2013-10-08
Abstract: An operator interface of a run-time environment of a process plant receives an indication of an override of an instance of a graphic element object. An override definition is generated and stored separately from a stored configuration of the graphic element object instance. The override definition is therefore available for use separately from the graphic element object instance. During run-time, the override definition is applied to the graphic element object instance, thereby generating a modified graphic element object instance. During run-time, the modified graphic element object instance is executed in the display object instance.

Title: Indexing elements in a source array
Inventor: ARIA AHMADI
IPC: G06T1/60
Filed: 2020-05-14
Abstract: Indexing data elements in a source array (112) comprises generating shifted copy arrays (114) based on the source array (e.g. convolving the source array with a set of filter kernels, e.g. sparse filter kernels), each shifted array comprising the source array data elements at a respective shifted position. Indices for indexing (130) the source array are received, each index indicating a target location in the source array. For each index, data element(s) are retrieved (e.g. by gating (132) elements based on the index to either select an element or interpolate a data element) from respective shifted copy array(s), wherein the shifted copy array(s) is/are selected according to the index. Therefore, rather than retrieving elements from different locations in a single (source) array (which requires the expensive calculation of a number of memory addresses), multiple shifted arrays are generated, and the elements at the locations in those shifted arrays are retrieved. Expensive memory address calculations are thus avoided. The method may be used in image or feature map warping based on a motion vector field.

Title: Tool with handle offsets
Inventor: Douglas A Moyer
IPC: B25B7/10
Filed: 2018-08-30
Abstract: A tool 100, such as pliers, includes a first portion 102 having a first jaw portion 108 and a first handle portion 110. A second portion 104 has a second jaw portion 118 and a second handle portion 120. An elongated slot 128 is disposed in the second portion between the second jaw and handle. The second portion is coupled to the first portion at a pivot point that is movable along the elongated slot. A first outer edge of the first handle portion is offset from the pivot point by a first length (L1, Figure 2). A second outer edge of the second handle portion is offset from the pivot point by a second length (L2, Figure 3). Teeth 130 are disposed on the second portion proximal to, or extending into, the elongated slot. When the pivot point is moved along the elongated slot such that a distance between the jaw portions is at a maximum opening, the first and second lengths provide at least about 1.2 cm of clearance between the first and second handle portions at a gripping area. The clearance helps prevent a user from pinching their fingers between the handles.

Title: Force sensing circuitry
Inventor: GAVIN MCVEIGH
IPC: H03K17/94
Filed: 2020-01-09
Abstract: Circuitry for normalising an output signal V_out of a force sensor 130. A bias generator 120 receives a supply voltage V_S and generates a bias voltage V_bias for biasing the force sensor. A control module 140 receives a voltage indicative of the bias voltage and selects a normalization function NORM based on the bias voltage. A processing module 160 receives the force sensor’s output signal V_out and the normalisation function NORM and applies the normalisation function to the force sensor’s output signal. The normalization function may counteract a reduction in a sensitivity of the force sensor due to a lowered bias voltage. The control module may further compare the supply voltage to a threshold voltage and output a control signal based on the comparison to control the bias voltage. The threshold voltage value may be based on a dropout voltage of the bias generator. Also provided is an electronic device comprising said circuitry, a battery to output the supply voltage and a sensor configured to receive the bias voltage. The electronic device may be a portable or battery-powered device e.g. a tablet, laptop computer, smartphone, or smartwatch.

The text associated with rendered objects may be included in a transmission of media content instead of the rendered object itself, 414, 416, 418, such that the receiver of the transmission having objects cached locally can use the locally cached objects to generate the media content for presentation (Figure 4B.) The neural network may include one or more convolution neural networks (CNN) to analyse the media content and one or more long short-term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to encode and output text indicative of the objects.
