US Patent:

6684719, Feb 3, 2004
Filed:

May 3, 2002
Appl. No.:

10/137370
Inventors:

Gerrick S. Gehner - Peoria IL
Kartik G. Iyer - Dunlap IL
Korby A. Koch - Rome IL
Hemant P. Mallampalli - Normal IL
John R. Wagner - Chillicothe IL
Assignee:

Caterpillar Inc - Peoria IL
International Classification:

G01N 100
US Classification:

73863
Abstract:

A method and apparatus for mixing a first stream of gas with a second stream of gas is provided. The method includes introducing a first stream of gas into a first stream manifold and directing the first stream from the first stream manifold into a mixing chamber via a plurality of first stream passages flow coupled to the mixing chamber. A second stream of gas is directed into the mixing chamber via at least one second stream passage flow coupled to a first end of the mixing chamber. A combined stream is formed from the first and second streams, gradually converged, and discharged from the mixing chamber through a mixing chamber exit port.

US Patent:

H18201, Dec 7, 1999
Filed:

Dec 22, 1998
Appl. No.:

9/218960
Inventors:

Jeffrey D. Graves - Chenoa IL
Norman D. Knapp - Roanoke IL
Korby A. Koch - Rome IL
Assignee:

Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:

F02M 3100
US Classification:

123557
Abstract:

The present invention includes an apparatus adapted to heat actuating fluid in a rail passage located within an engine. The rail passage is connected to an fluid inlet of at least one fuel injector. The apparatus includes a heating device located within the rail passage. The heating device is adapted to heat the actuating fluid, in response to a control signal. The apparatus also includes a temperature sensing device located within the rail passage. The temperature sensing device is adapted to sense a temperature of the actuating fluid and responsively generate a temperature signal. In the preferred embodiment, the apparatus also includes an electronic controller adapted to receive the temperature signal, determine a temperature of the fluid, and responsively generate the control signal and deliver an injection command signal to the fuel injector.

US Patent:

20160375880, Dec 29, 2016
Filed:

Jun 24, 2015
Appl. No.:

14/748832
Inventors:

- Peoria IL, US
Steven J. Juricak - Cary NC, US
Jason M. Buckmier - Cary NC, US
Joshua D. Callaway - Cary NC, US
Korby A. Koch - Holly Springs NC, US
Brian F. Taggart - Angier NC, US
Assignee:

Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:

B60T 8/17
B60T 13/68
B60T 8/171
Abstract:

Systems and methods for simulating electro-hydraulic (EH) braking of a work machine using a combination of hydraulic braking and engine braking may include determining a commanded brake pressure requested by an operator, determining an available engine braking force, and comparing the available engine braking force to a maximum available bleed pressure that is available to reduce a hydraulic braking force. An engine braking output and a pressure reducing valve output pressure may be determined based on the available engine braking force and the maximum available bleed pressure. A pressure reducing valve may be actuated so that the hydraulic braking force is equal to the commanded brake pressure minus the pressure reducing valve output pressure, and a transmission may be actuated so that the engine applies an engine braking force equivalent to the engine braking output to brake the work machine.
