Title: Kanaparty N Rao and a Hydraulic Transmission Monitoring Invention

Introduction

Kanaparty N Rao is an inventor associated with Cedar Falls, Iowa, and Deere & Company. Her patent work includes a monitoring system designed to help detect low lubrication pressure in a vehicle’s hydraulic transmission.

Latest Patents

The provided information lists one patent for Rao: Monitor for hydraulic transmission. The invention monitors lubrication-circuit fluid pressure, hydraulic-fluid temperature, and engine speed. It compares the measured pressure with an alarm threshold adjusted for temperature and engine speed, and generates an alert if pressure remains below that threshold for a specified period. The alarm is disabled when engine speed drops below a nonzero threshold. Rao is credited with 1 patent.

Career Highlights

Rao’s listed patent addresses transmission monitoring in vehicles such as agricultural tractors. By accounting for operating temperature and engine speed, the system is designed to distinguish sustained low lubrication pressure from conditions in which an alarm should be suppressed.

Collaborations

The provided information identifies Stephen P. Lang and Patrick E. Pinkston as Rao’s coworkers. The patent concerns a hydraulic transmission monitoring system associated with Deere & Company.

Conclusion

Kanaparty N Rao’s listed invention focuses on monitoring hydraulic transmission lubrication and providing an alarm under defined operating conditions, reflecting a practical contribution to vehicle-system monitoring.
