Latest Patents
Dominik holds a patent for a "Drift compensation control method for a machine." This method involves controlling a machine with a hydraulically actuated linkage by lowering a load suspended by the linkage at least in part by leaking hydraulic fluid from a portion of a hydraulic actuation system. The invention generates a drift compensation control signal in response to the leaking hydraulic fluid. The machine includes an electronic controller that communicates with a valve, allowing it to compensate for leakage-induced drift of at least one hydraulic actuator by selectively commanding adjustments to the valve when drift criteria are met. This innovative approach enhances the performance and reliability of hydraulic systems.
