Patent number: 9637006Abstract: An electrical system architecture for a mobile, electric hybrid machine includes a first bus configured to receive electric power at a first, selectively adjustable voltage from an electrical power source. A second bus is configured to receive electric power at a second voltage that is lower than the first voltage. A controller is configured to determine a desired magnitude of the second voltage for the second bus, produce a signal indicative of a magnitude of the first, selectively adjustable voltage that is a multiple of the desired magnitude of the second voltage, and adjust the magnitude of the first voltage in the first bus to the multiple of the desired magnitude of the second voltage. A fixed-ratio power converter is configured to convert the power at the first voltage in the first bus to the power at the second voltage in the second bus.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2014Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Robert W. Lindsey, Donald John Gilmore

Patent number: 9212472Abstract: A spray head holder (250) comprising an outer rim and a socket (252) for receiving a spray head. The socket defines an inner mouth (254) surrounded by the outer rim, the inner mouth (254) and outer rim being disposed in respective planes that are obliquely disposed with respect to one another. The longitudinal axis of the socket is obliquely disposed with respect to the plane in which said outer rim lies. A bevelled lip is provided around the outer rim. The spray head holder (250) is particularly suited for fitting to walls behind which space is restricted, for example the bulkhead of a boat.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2008Date of Patent: December 15, 2015Assignee: Munster Simms Engineering LimitedInventor: Edward John Gilmore

Patent number: 9065270Abstract: A ground fault protection system may include a controller that is configured to receive signals representing a ground fault detection voltage and a DC link voltage of the machine. Based on the ground fault detection voltage and the DC link voltage, the controller may determine a ground fault detection percentage value, and a worst case component insulation voltage. The controller may compare an absolute value of the worst case component insulation voltage with a rated insulation voltage of a component of the machine. When the absolute value of the worst case component insulation voltage is higher than the rated insulation voltage, the controller may determine a new DC link voltage based on the rated insulation voltage and the ground fault detection percentage value, and may operate the machine by using the new DC link voltage.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2013Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Lewei Qian, Jason John Smolarchuk, Donald John Gilmore

Patent number: 9049289Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method enabling telephony service subscribers to activate, deactivate, make service changes, and access call-related information from telephony services provided by a telephony service provider. According to one aspect, the service management system of the present invention interacts with subscriber terminals connected to a public data network. The service management system receives requests from subscriber terminals and converts the requests into a format compatible with terminal emulation programs, such as the Telnet protocol, running on end office switches. Using the converted request information, the requested service changes are made or the requested call-related information is collected by the end office switches with little or no intervention by service provider personnel.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2004Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: RPX Clearinghouse LLPInventors: Patrick Wood, John Gilmore

Publication number: 20140240875Abstract: A ground fault protection system is disclosed. The ground fault protection system may include a controller that is configured to receive signals representing a ground fault detection voltage and a DC link voltage of the machine. Based on the ground fault detection voltage and the DC link voltage, the controller may determine a ground fault detection percentage value. Based on the ground fault detection percentage value and the DC link voltage, the controller may further determine a worst case component insulation voltage. The controller may compare an absolute value of the worst case component insulation voltage with a rated insulation voltage of a component of the machine. When the absolute value of the worst case component insulation voltage is higher than the rated insulation voltage, the controller may determine a new DC link voltage based on the rated insulation voltage and the ground fault detection percentage value, and may output a signal for operating the machine by using the new DC link voltage.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2013Publication date: August 28, 2014Applicant: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Lewei QIAN, Jason John SMOLARCHUK, Donald John GILMORE
