Title: Method of reducing fuel consumption in loaders, excavators, backhoe loaders and the like
Inventor: ROBERT NICHOLAS HARPER
IPC: F02D29/04
Filed: 2019-07-22
Abstract: A method of reducing fuel consumption in a machine with an internal combustion engine providing simultaneous ground propulsion via a torque converter and hydraulic implement propulsion via a hydraulic pump. The engine controller uses a first engine map that defines primary operating constraints, the method comprising obtaining and implementing a torque limit that falls within the primary operating constraints 520, wherein if a torque demand exceeds the limit then the engine speed will drop 560, and if the ratio between the engine and ground propulsion drops below a threshold then the torque limit will be removed and the engine will reinstate the primary operating constraints. If the speed drops below a threshold speed, the torque limit may increase gradually. If the engine speed drops below a second threshold speed for a period of time, the torque limit may be removed, and primary operating constraints may be reinstated. Torque limits could be applied to engine speeds higher than 50% of a maximum speed defined by the primary operating constraints. The machine could have a loader implement or backhoe.

Title: Priority based arbitration
Inventor: CASPER VAN BENTHEM
IPC: G06F13/364
Filed: 2020-03-20
Abstract: For each processing cycle a plurality of select signals are generated and then used by decision nodes in a binary decision tree to select a requestor. The select signals are generated using valid bits and priority bits. Each valid bit corresponds to one of the requestors and indicates whether, in the processing cycle, the requester is requesting access to the shared resource. Each priority bit corresponds one of the requesters and indicates whether, in the processing cycle, the requester has priority. Corresponding valid bit and priority bits are combined in an AND logic element to generate a valid_and_priority bit for each requestor. Pair-wise OR-reduction is then performed on both the valid bits and the valid_and_priority bits to generate additional valid bits and va!id_and_priority bits far sets of requesters and these are then used to generate the select signal.
