| 20100301638 | Integrated Air Intake System - An engine air intake system is provided which is formed by an engine compartment. A fan and a grille screen are used to remove a portion of debris from air external to the vehicle. After the air is partially cleaned via the grille screen, it moves toward a heat exchanger carrying a portion of the remaining debris with it. A portion of the debris may fall out of the air via gravitational effects. A portion of the air then moves up and into an entrance passage for an air intake duct that is integrated with the hood of the engine enclosure, this portion having been further cleaned via debris passage to and through the heat exchanger as well as gravitational effects. The air then travels through the air intake duct and passes through an air filter where a portion of the remaining debris is removed prior to the air being supplied to the engine intake. | 12-02-2010 |

| 20100221071 | REMOTELY CONTROLLED MINING MACHINES, CONTROL SYSTEMS, AND RELATED METHODS - In one aspect, a system assists an operator in controlling a machine, such as a bolter including a drill head for drilling a borehole in a mine passage having a face and installing a bolt therein, as well as possibly a miner for advancing the mine passage. A controller controls the operation of the machine, and a transmitter transmits to the controller control signals from the operator at a remote location from the borehole. A sensor causes the controller to take action, such as by providing a warning signal or disabling one or more aspects of the machine, if the operator is within a predetermined proximity of the drilling, bolting, or mining operation. Systems and methods pertain to other related aspects of the invention. | 09-02-2010 |
