Backup Velocity Estimation Utilizing Traction Device Speed

View page
US Patent:
20140039748, Feb 6, 2014
Filed:
Aug 1, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/564603
Inventors:
Paul Russell FRIEND - Morton IL, US
Drew Alan Fehr - Washington IL, US
International Classification:
G06F 11/30
US Classification:
701 297
Abstract:
A velocity estimation method and system is disclosed. The method may include receiving a location signal indicative of a location of the machine and estimating the velocity of the machine based on a change in the location of the machine over a period of time. The method may further include determining a loss of the location signal, detecting a traction device speed of the machine, and selectively estimating the velocity of the machine based on the traction device speed when the location signal is determined to be lost.

Operational Parameter Determination Systems And Methods With Gear Shifting Compensation

US Patent:
20140067213, Mar 6, 2014
Filed:
Aug 31, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/601218
Inventors:
Paul Russell FRIEND - Morton IL, US
Drew Alan Fehr - Washington IL, US
Frank Arthur Willis - Mapleton IL, US
International Classification:
F16H 59/60
US Classification:
701 58
Abstract:
An operational parameter determination system is disclosed. The operational parameter determination system may include an operational parameter predictor configured to calculate an a priori estimated operational parameter of the machine based on a previously estimated operational parameter. The operational parameter determination system may also include a gear shifting compensator configured to determine whether a gear shifting is in progress, and when the gear shifting is in progress, to output the a priori estimated operational parameter as a determined operational parameter. The operational parameter determination system may further include an operational parameter updater configured to, when the gear shifting is not in progress, receive a measured operational parameter of the machine, determine an a posteriori estimated operational parameter of the machine based on the a priori estimated operational parameter and the measured operational parameter, and output the a posteriori estimated operational parameter as the determined operational parameter.

Inclination Detection Systems And Methods

US Patent:
20130079949, Mar 28, 2013
Filed:
Sep 28, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/247368
Inventors:
Paul Russell FRIEND - Morton IL, US
Drew Alan FEHR - Washington IL, US
Frank Arthur WILLIS - Mapleton IL, US
International Classification:
G06F 7/00
US Classification:
701 1
Abstract:
An inclination detection system is disclosed. The inclination detection system may have an inclination angle predictor configured to calculate an a priori estimated inclination angle of the machine based on a previously estimated inclination angle, and a measurement variance calculator configured to calculate a measurement variance of the a priori estimated inclination angle based on a non-gravitational acceleration of the machine. The inclination detection system may also have an inclination angle sensor configured to measure a measured inclination angle of the machine, and an inclination angle updater configured to determine an a posteriori estimated inclination angle of the machine based on the a priori estimated inclination angle, the measurement variance of the a priori estimated inclination angle, and the measured inclination angle.

Compensating For Acceleration Induced Inclination Errors

View page
US Patent:
20150268042, Sep 24, 2015
Filed:
Mar 18, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/218005
Inventors:
- Peoria IL, US
Drew Fehr - Washington IL, US
Assignee:
CATERPILLAR INC. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
G01C 9/08
G01S 19/13
Abstract:
A relative angle between a machine's direction of travel and the orientation of an inclination sensor on a work tool coupled to the machine is determined and/or calculated. In some examples, the present disclosure describes a method of determining a relative angle between a machine's direction of travel and an inclination sensor coupled to a work tool coupled to the machine. Such method may include determining the machine's direction of travel, and determining an orientation of the inclination sensor coupled to the work tool coupled to the machine. The relative angle between the machine's direction of travel and the orientation of the inclination sensor coupled to the work tool may then be calculated.

US Patent:
20150159613, Jun 11, 2015
Filed:
Nov 19, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/547671
Inventors:
- Peoria IL, US
David E. Ault - Peoria IL, US
Drew A. Fehr - Washington IL, US
Emily A. Morris - Peoria IL, US
Jeremy T. Peterson - Washington IL, US
Kory K. Leesman - Hartsburg IL, US
Richard D. Johnston - Moweaqua IL, US
Layne E. Hook - Oreana IL, US
Justin L. Steinlage - Mackinaw IL, US
Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
F02N 7/00
B60W 30/18
B60W 10/18
F02N 11/08
B60W 10/02
Abstract:
An idle reduction engine shutdown and restart system for a machine is disclosed. The machine can include an engine operably connected to a drivetrain including ground engaging propulsion members. The drivetrain can be configured to transmit mechanical energy between the engine and the ground engaging propulsion members. The idle reduction engine shutdown and restart system for the machine can include a starter operatively associated with the engine and configured to effectuate ignition of the engine. The idle reduction engine shutdown and restart system for the machine can further include an idle reduction engine shutdown and restart controller electronically and controllably connected to the engine and configured to shut down the engine in an engine shutdown mode. The idle reduction engine shutdown and restart controller can additionally be electronically and controllably connected and configured to actuate the engine and the starter to start the engine in one or more of an initial engine start mode and one or more engine restart modes.

Prioritizing Method Of Operator Coaching On Industrial Machines

View page
US Patent:
20150004574, Jan 1, 2015
Filed:
Jun 27, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/929433
Inventors:
- Peoria IL, US
Zhijun Cai - Springfield IL, US
Carl Darukhanavala - Peoria IL, US
Vardhaman Lakhani - Chicago IL, US
Kevin Dluzen - Peoria IL, US
Jeffrey Fletcher - Peoria IL, US
Drew Fehr - Washington IL, US
Owen Kolstad - Peoria IL, US
International Classification:
G09B 19/00
US Classification:
434219
Abstract:
A system and method for coaching an operator of an industrial machine improves operator skill levels by providing prioritized coaching to the operator. The system and method identify operations performed during the work session and compare each operation to a model of the operation to identify operations that differ substantially from the model. Each such operation is logged as a coaching opportunity, and the method and system prioritize the associated coaching sequences for presentation to the operator, e.g., based on (1) classification of the operation associated with each coaching opportunity; (2) significance of the operation associated with each coaching opportunity; (3) operator history; (4) manager preferences; and (5) error severity.

US Patent:
20140224888, Aug 14, 2014
Filed:
Feb 11, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/763884
Inventors:
- Peoria IL, US
Drew A. Fehr - Washington IL, US
Zhijun Cai - Springfield IL, US
Vardhaman M. Lakhani - Peoria IL, US
Kevin R. Dluzen - Peoria IL, US
Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
G06K 19/06
US Classification:
235494
Abstract:
A system for providing information associated with an identification code to an operator of a machine is provided. The system includes a plurality of sensors configured to generate signals indicative of a parameter associated with an operation of the machine. The system also includes a display unit. The system further includes a controller communicably coupled to the plurality of sensors and the display unit. The controller is configured to receive the signals indicative of the parameter associated with the operation of the machine. The controller then determines an operation mode of the machine based on the received signals and identifies the identification code based on the determined operation mode. The controller further displays the identification code based on the determined operation mode on the display unit.
