For a given hydraulic actuator, the allocation involves (1) determining an apportionment of the desired amount of flow, if no other hydraulic actuator is active, and (2) altering the apportionment in response to all the plurality of flow commands, and (3) using the altered apportionment to determine a first amount of the flow for one pump to provide and a second amount of the flow for the other pump to provide. The process is repeated for all the hydraulic actuators. Supply valves for each hydraulic actuator are controlled by the associated first and second amounts and each pump is controlled in response to either the first or second amounts for all the hydraulic actuators. | 12-22-2011 |

A separate valve is associated with each hydraulic actuator and comprises a variable flow source orifice between the supply conduit and a summation node coupled to a pump control port, a variable metering orifice between the summation node and the associated hydraulic actuator, and a variable bypass orifice between the summation node and the tank. As a valve operates to enlarge the metering orifice, the flow source orifice also enlarges, and the bypass orifice shrinks. When the valve operates to shrink the metering orifice, the flow source orifice also shrinks and the bypass orifice enlarges. Those operations vary fluid flow in and out of the summation node, which alters pressure applied to the pump control, thereby causing the pump output to vary as required to drive the associated hydraulic actuator. | 04-12-2012 |

Variable bypass orifices in the control valves are connected in series between the flow summation node and a tank. As the metering orifice in a control valve enlarges, the source orifice enlarges and the bypass orifice shrinks. This alters pressure at the flow summation node, which is used to control the output of the pump. Components are provided to give selected hydraulic functions different levels of priority with respect to consuming fluid flow from the pump. | 06-27-2013 |
20140060032 | MULTIPLE FUNCTION HYDRAULIC SYSTEM WITH A VARIABLE DISPLACEMENT PUMP AND A HYDROSTATIC PUMP-MOTOR - A hydraulic system includes a first pump and a plurality of valves that control fluid flow from the first pump to several actuators.

Pressure at the node controls displacement of the first pump. Each control valve also has a metering orifice for varying fluid flow between the node and one of the actuators. A hydrostatic pump-motor, coupled between two ports of a given actuator, is driven in a motoring mode by fluid exiting one of those ports. In a pumping mode, the hydrostatic pump-motor forces lower pressure fluid exhausting from one port into the other port of the given actuator. | 03-06-2014 |

20110270203 | External voiding apparatus and system - An external voiding apparatus includes a triangular cup, an outlet at a vertex of the cup, a throat extending outwardly from the outlet of the cup, a check valve assembly, and a valve seat. The cup has an open top and gradually sloping walls that converge at the outlet adjacent a lower vertex of the cup. The valve assembly is disposed between the throat and the valve seat. A tube and a fluid coupling assembly connect (i.e., fluidly couple) the valve seat to the tube. The check valve may comprise a valve body with an aperture covered downstream by an easily deflectable membrane, or a duckbill valve. The fluid coupling assembly includes a funnel coupling from the reservoir to a tube. A fluid collection container (e.g. a Foley bag) may be fluidly coupled to the tube. The cup may include a phosphorescent polymer to provide a glow in the dark effect, a handle attached to the cup and a removable cover. A wide compressible resilient gasket is provided on the top edge of the cup, which may be anatomically contoured. A support member suitable for holding the aforesaid apparatus in convenient reach of the user and/or associated care givers completes the system of the invention. | 11-03-2011 |
20150135423 | External Voiding Apparatus and System - An external voiding apparatus includes an oval/canoe shaped receiver cup, with an outlet at one end of the receiver cup, a check valve assembly, and a valve seat attached to the receiver. The receiver cup has open top and gradually sloping, walls that converge at the outlet adjacent a lower area of the cup. The valve assembly is disposed between the receiver cup on the valve seat in the reservoir. The cheek valve may comprise a valve body with an aperture covered downstream by an easily deflectable membrane, or a flat tube type valve. The fluid coupling assembly includes a coupling from the reservoir for a tube. A fluid collection container (e.g. a Foley bag) may be fluidly coupled to the drain tube connected to the reservoir drain. The gasket and receiver cup may include a phosphorescent polymer to provide a glow in the dark effect, a handle attached to the receiver cup and a removable cover. A wide compressible resilient gasket is provided on the top edge of the receiver, which may be anatomically contoured. A support member suitable for holding the aforesaid apparatus in convenient reach of the user and/or associated care givers completes the system of the invention. | 05-21-2015 |

20090088233 | DYNAMIC PROBLEM SOLVING FOR GAMES - The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates enhancing a game, game play or playability of a game. An experience component can collect a portion of data related to a game in which the portion of data indicates at least one of a tip or a tactic for the game. A game component can dynamically incorporate the portion of data into the game during game play to enhance playability of such game for a user with assistance provided by at least one of the tip or the tactic. | 04-02-2009 |
20090167787 | AUGMENTED REALITY AND FILTERING - A system (and corresponding method) that can enhance a user experience by augmenting real-world experiences with virtual world data to is provided. The augmented reality system discloses various techniques to personalize real-world experiences by overlaying or interspersing virtual capabilities (and data) with real world situations. The innovation can also filter, rank, modify or ignore virtual-world information based upon a particular real-world class, user identity or context. | 07-02-2009 |
20090172022 | DYNAMIC STORYBOOK - A system (and corresponding methodology) that dynamically alters a storybook (e.g., literary work). Preferences, policies and contexts can be considered and incorporated into the storyline of the book to enhance interest by creating a rich, personalized experience. By enhancing readability and features (e.g., sensory features), stories become more true-to-life and enjoyable by altering the story over time or to differing context (or content). | 07-02-2009 |
