US Classification:

340435

Abstract:

An object proximity alert system for an object network includes an object module having a data processing unit; a GPS unit; and a transceiver, the latter both connected to the data processing unit. A first object in the network has the module, such that the data processing unit obtains first object position data from the GPS unit, calculates the speed of the object, and transmits position data using the transceiver to other network objects, the data processing unit calculates the respective positions of the first object with the objects in the network based on the data, and compares the position data against a preset target separation between the first object and the other objects. In the event a separation distance between the first object and another object in the network is less than the target separation, the data processing unit generates an alarm in at least the first object.

Abstract:

A transmission includes a range selector valve that eliminates the possibility of unintentional simultaneous multiple gear engagement by a fail safe arrangement of fluid flow paths and valving. A pair of parallel paths connect to clutches that operate a high-low power shift transmission and a multiple speed power shift main transmission. The fluid flow path to the multiple speed power shift main transmission clutches is valved to select either a first or second group of speed/direction settings. Each of these groups then includes at least one valve to select a particular transmission speed or direction setting.
