Latest Patents
Ratsko's latest patents include a hydraulic jackknifing-affecting apparatus for articulated vehicles. This invention relates to a jackknifing control system designed to reduce undesirable jackknifing in vehicles, especially those with rear drive. The system utilizes sensing means to measure both the angle of steering and the angle of articulation. By comparing the actual angle of articulation to a preprogrammed ideal angle, the system can initiate control actions to manage articulation effectively.
Another significant patent is the jackknifing-affecting apparatus for vehicles with electronic control. This apparatus features sensors that detect the steered angle and the angle of articulation. The system evaluates the output signals from these sensors to prevent jackknifing by indicating positive or negative differential signs based on the relationship between the steering angle and articulation angle.
