Judson Paul Clark is an accomplished inventor based in Dubuque, IA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of work vehicle technology, holding a total of 4 patents. His inventions focus on enhancing the functionality and efficiency of work vehicles through innovative control systems.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is the "Coordinated linkage system for a work vehicle." This invention features a work vehicle equipped with a tool that is pivotally attached to a linkage. It includes an actuator for controllably moving the tool about its pivot and a tilt angle sensor that senses the absolute angle of the work tool relative to the earth. The controller is designed to perform an auto-hold function for the tool, automatically maintaining an initial tool orientation by commanding movement of the tool actuator. The auto-hold function can be discontinued when the operator manipulates a tool command input device, allowing for flexibility in operation.
Another notable patent is the "Automatic loader bucket orientation control." This invention comprises a work vehicle with a boom attached, a tool pivotally attached to the boom, and an actuator for moving the tool. An angular velocity sensor is included to sense the angular velocity of the tool. The controller maintains an initial tool orientation by processing angular velocity data and commanding movement of the tool actuator to hold the angular velocity at zero. Similar to the previous invention, the auto-hold function can be enabled or disabled by the operator.
