20080314039Hydraulic hybrid vehicle with integrated hydraulic drive module and four-wheel-drive, and method of operation thereof - A vehicle includes an integrated drive module coupled to an axle thereof. The module includes a hydraulic motor configured to provide motive power at an output shaft, and a differential for distributing the motive power to right and left portions of the axle. The hydraulic motor and the differential are encased within a common housing. The vehicle may include a second integrated drive module having, within a housing, a second hydraulic motor (or multiple hydraulic motors), and a second differential coupled thereto and configured to distribute motive power to right and left portions of a second axle. The second module may also include a transmission within the same housing. The transmission may be a two speed or other multi-speed transmission. The second module is configured to operate in neutral while power demand is below a threshold, and to engage while the power demand exceeds the threshold. The second module may be configured to remain engaged for full-time four-wheel-drive operation.12-25-2008
20110232418HYDRAULIC HYBRID VEHICLE WITH LARGE-RATIO SHIFT TRANSMISSION AND METHOD OF OPERATION THEREOF - A vehicle includes an internal combustion engine configured to power a hydraulic pump to pressurize hydraulic fluid, which is used to power the vehicle directly or is stored in an accumulator. A drive module, including a hydraulic pump/motor and a multi-speed mechanical transmission, is operatively coupled to drive wheels of the vehicle to provide motive power to the vehicle. The drive module can also include a second hydraulic motor (or multiple hydraulic motors) configured to provide motive power. The transmission is configured to progress through its gears at ratio shifts of no less than 2:1 between adjacent gear positions. The transmission is configured to place the hydraulic motor in neutral during some portions of vehicle operation, and to engage the motor during other portions of vehicle operation.09-29-2011

20110141117System and method for determining the environmental impact of a process - A system and method for determining the environmental impact of a process is disclosed in which resources are categorized into distinct Environmental Performance Indicators (“EPI's”), some of which are value EPIs that are derived based on the amount of the resource used per Finished Product Volume (FPV), which is representative of the amount of product that is produced by the process; and others are percentage EPIs that represent a measure of efficiency, and are derived from the amount of renewable resources used as a percentage of total resources used. A graphical representation of the EPIs allows a quick visual interpretation of the environmental friendliness of a particular process or group of processes, and allows a visual comparison between two different processes.06-16-2011
