20110172939 | System and Method to Determine an Internal Resistance and State of Charge, State of Health, or Energy Level of a Rechargeable Battery - A battery monitoring system includes a current, voltage, and temperature sensor. The system includes a processor in communication with each of the current, voltage, and temperature sensor that is configured to read a first bulk current of the at least one of a battery and a battery cell at a first time using the current sensor, and, when the first bulk current is less than a first threshold, read a second bulk current of the at least one of a battery and a battery cell at a second time using the current sensor. When the second bulk current has a value between a second threshold and a third threshold and the difference between the first time and the second time is less than a pre-determined delay threshold, the processor is configured to use the first and second bulk current values to determine an internal resistance of the battery or cell. | 07-14-2011 |

20090281655 | CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A LOAD HANDLING CLAMP - A control system for a load-handling clamp includes first and second load-engaging surfaces for selectively gripping and releasing a load disposed between said surfaces. At least one of said surfaces is selectively movable toward the other by a hydraulic actuator. At least one fluid valve assembly variably regulates a maximum hydraulic clamping pressure capable of causing the actuator to move one of the surfaces toward the other in a load clamping movement. Preferably, a load geometry sensor produces an electrical effect that varies as a function of the geometric profile of the load. A data receiver preferably also obtains load identification information related to at least one characteristic of the load, other than the load's geometry. A controller, in response to the data receiver and load geometry sensor, operates to control the valve assembly's regulation of the maximum hydraulic clamping pressure. In order to prepare for the load clamping movement, the controller is preferably also capable of enabling the actuator to move one of said surfaces toward the other in an initial clamp closing movement at a maximum hydraulic closing pressure greater than the maximum hydraulic clamping pressure. Thereafter the controller enables the load clamping movement at a pressure level substantially no greater than the maximum hydraulic clamping pressure. | 11-12-2009 |
20130277584 | FLUID POWER CONTROL SYSTEM FOR MOBILE LOAD HANDLING EQUIPMENT - A fluid power control system for load handling mobile equipment includes a pair of hydraulic actuators for moving respective cooperating load-engaging members selectively toward or away from each other, or in a common direction, at respective asynchronous speeds to selectively attain either synchronous or asynchronous respective positions of the actuators. The actuators have sensors enabling a controller to monitor their respective movements and correct unintended differences in the actuators' respective movements, such as unintended differences in relative intended positions, speeds, or rates of change of speeds. Respective hydraulic valves responsive to the controller separately and nonsimultaneously decrease respective flows through the respective actuators to more accurately and rapidly correct differences from the intended relative movements of the actuators. | 10-24-2013 |

20150108686 | CLOTH-LIKE SYNTHETIC TEXTILES - An embossing and texturizing system for imparting a natural cloth-like surface to a flexible thermoplastic material or film simultaneously to either or both of its two exterior surfaces, through the use of a device and technique combining metal rolls, metal and rubber rolls, and embossing and texturizing fabric rolls into an embossing system creating the desired visual and tactile feel of natural fabrics as well as additional performance characteristics. The embossing and texturizing system embosses and texturizes the exterior surface of the flexible thermoplastic material or film by selectively altering the exterior surface, and therefore, the film can be embossed simultaneously on either or both of its two exterior surfaces (face and reverse). The use of the embossing and texturizing mechanism and its alignment to the core and stabilizing reinforcing substrate enables the exterior texturized surface and the bottom side exterior texturized surface to be identical in all manner. | 04-23-2015 |
