20080233811ELECTRONICALLY ASSISTED REVERSE GATE SYSTEM FOR A JET PROPULSION WATERCRAFT - An electronically assisted reverse gate system for a jet propulsion watercraft is provided. Control electronics are in communication with the operator interface of the watercraft to obtain commands from the operator, such as a selection between a forward, reverse or neutral mode, a braking command or a slow mode. The control electronics evaluates the target setting for these commands. This evaluation is made taking into consideration the operating conditions of the watercraft. Control signals are sent to an appropriate actuating device to adjust the gate orientation accordingly.09-25-2008
20120021660Electronically assisted reverse gate system for a jet propulsion watercraft - An automatic trim system for a jet propulsion watercraft is provided. Control electronics are in communication with a steering angle sensor to monitor the steering angle of the watercraft, and evaluate a target setting for the trim taking the steering angle into consideration. Control signals are sent to an appropriate actuating device for adjusting the trim angle accordingly.01-26-2012

20120030973EARTH MOVER WHICH CONTINUOUSLY EXCAVATES A TRENCH AND SIMULTANEOUSLY CLEARS THE EXCAVATED TRENCH OF SPOILS - An earth mover for continuously excavating a trench and simultaneously clearing the excavated trench of spoils and depositing the spoils alongside the excavated trench. The earth mover including a cutter supported by a chassis in a rotatably drivable fashion about a cutter axis of rotation that is fixed relative to the chassis. A stripping blade having a stripping edge is disposed at a following position relative to the cutter and includes transport surface contiguous with a spoils collector. A spoils transfer assembly removes spoils from the spoils collector and deposits them alongside the excavated trench as the earth mover is propelled along a trenching path. Further included is a wheel support assembly secured to the chassis and including a pair of laterally spaced wheels providing ground support to the chassis. The wheels are rotatable about an axis relative to the chassis to position the chassis between ground engaging and transport positions.02-09-2012

The bearing surface has formed thereon a sprayed bearing overlay extending over the whole bearing surface except for crush relief regions adjacent to the parting faces. The bearing member has a substantially constant outer diameter and inner diameter except at the crush relief regions, where the inner diameter is larger than at other regions of the bearing surface. There is also disclosed a method of making such a bearing. Less overlay material is required than in conventional split bearings.01-17-2013

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100065001Starter and Accessory Drive System And Method For Hybrid Drive Vehicles - A starter and accessory drive system and method for hybrid drive vehicles is provided. The invention isolates the accessory drive system from the transfer of torque between a starter motor and the crankshaft of the engine. In one embodiment, a dedicated flexible drive member transfers torque from the starter motor to the crankshaft to re-start the engine. In another embodiment, a torque transfer control is employed to selectively apply torque from the starter motor to the accessory drive, to drive the accessories when the engine is stopped, and/or to the engine crankshaft to re-start the engine. In another embodiment of the invention, the accessory drive is isolated from the engine crankshaft and is instead driven by a drive motor on the accessory drive while the engine crankshaft is connected to a starter motor and/or generator which can be energized to re-start the engine.03-18-2010
