Abstract: A method and apparatus for operating compacting machinery such as landfill, earth or asphalt compactors relative to a work site to compact the site material toward a desired degree of compaction. A first model (420) representing the desired degree of compaction of the site (12) and a second model (430) representing the actual degree of compaction of the site (12) are stored in a digital data storage facility (126). The machine (10) is equipped with a position receiver to determine in three-dimensional space the location of the compacting portions of the machine (10) relative to the site (12). A dynamic database (124) receives the machine positon information, determines the difference between the degree of compaction of the first and second site models (420, 430) and generates representational signals of that difference for directing the operation of the machine (10) to bring the actual degree of compaction of the site (12) into conformity with the desired degree of compaction. In one embodiment, the signals representing the machine position and the difference between the first and second site models (420, 430) are used to generate an operator display (22) which is updated in real time as the machine (10) operates over the site (12). Alternately, the signals representing the difference between the first and second site models (420, 430) can be supplied to automatic machine controls for automatic or semi-automatic operation of the machine (10).

Abstract: In spark ignited engine configurations, it is common to provide a spark plug that has a spark gap that has dimension that will accommodate good starting capabilities for the engine. In some cases, this spark gap is larger than required for the engine to run efficiently, especially at high loads. As a result, the voltage required to bridge the gap when the engine is running at high loads is much higher than necessary and causes erosion of the electrode and a build up of deposits on the ground strap. Ultimately, this greatly reduces the life of the spark plug. The present invention provides a spark plug (10) that utilizes an adjusting means (50) that is connected to the electrode (42) of the spark plug (10) and functions to move the electrode (42) with respect to the ground strap (20) to adjust the gap (48) therebetween. The adjusting means (50) is responsive to the temperature of the spark plug (10) which will vary with engine loads or an increase in pressure within the combustion chamber (64).

Abstract translation: 在火花点火发动机配置中，通常提供具有火花间隙的火花塞，该火花塞的尺寸将适应发动机的良好启动能力。 在某些情况下，这种火花隙大于发动机高效运行所需的火花隙，特别是在高负载时。 因此，当发动机在高负载下运行时桥接间隙所需的电压要高得多，导致电极的侵蚀和接地带上沉积物的积累。 最终，这大大减少了火花塞的寿命。 本发明提供了一种火花塞（10），其利用连接到火花塞（10）的电极（42）的调节装置（50）并且使电极（42）相对于接地带（ 20）以调节它们之间的间隙（48）。 调节装置（50）响应火花塞（10）的温度，这将随着发动机负载或燃烧室（64）内的压力增加而变化。

Abstract: Tooth assemblies having a tip with ears extending rearwardly therefrom to mate with corresponding slots in an adapter are normally utilized in order to aid in the transfer of forces from the tip to the adapter. In the subject arrangement, a tip (12) includes a pair of opposed ears (32, 34) each having a pair of opposed edge surfaces (40, 42) that are angled one relative to the other. The pair of opposed ears (32, 34) of the tip (12) mates with a pair of corresponding opposed slots (54, 56) defined by the adapter (14). The pair of opposed slots (54, 56) in the adapter (14) likewise has a pair of opposed edge surfaces (60, 62) angled with respect to one another and are in confronting mating relationships with the pair of opposed edge surfaces (40, 42) of the pair of opposed ears (32, 34). This inhibits any outward movement of the pair of opposed ears (32, 34) with respect to the adapter (14).

Abstract: An undercarriage structure (12) for a track-type vehicle (10) has first and second spaced apart roller frame assemblies (14, 16) which are interconnected by a pivot shaft (18) and an equalizer bar (20). The first and second roller frame assemblies (14, 16) are so arranged with respect to the pivot shaft (18) and the equalizer bar (20) that the roller frame assemblies (14, 16) are substantially non-parallel to each other. This non-parallelism produces either "toe-out" or "toe-in" of the roller frame assemblies (14, 16), which results in the endless track contacting the track rollers in different areas as the vehicle (10) travels in forward and then reverse directions. The wear life of the endless track is thereby prolonged.

Abstract: A track roller assembly (10) supports and guides the link rails (12) of the endless track of a track-type vehicle as the endless track travels along the ground. Contact between the link rails (12) and the roller assembly (10) is at the tread portion of the roller. A replaceable tread ring (38) on the roller tread portion has a non-metallic outer tread portion (70, 70') which contacts the link rails (12). The tread ring (38) is held in place by a replaceable flange plate (20). A separate seal plate (18) holds the various seals (54) in place when the flange plate (20) is removed for replacement of the tread ring (38) or the flange plate (20). Conventional track roller assemblies (10) have non-replaceable flange plates (20) and metal tread portions (86) which produce considerable wear on the mating link rails (12). The subject roller assembly (10) prolongs the useful life of the link rails (12) and provides an easily replaceable flange plate (20) and tread ring (38).

Abstract: An undercarriage assembly (20) for a work vehicle (10) includes first and second roller frame assemblies (22, 24), one on each side of the vehicle (10), an idler wheel assembly (28, 30) connected to one end of each roller frame assembly (22, 24), and a drive wheel (32, 34) connected to the opposite end of each roller frame assembly (22, 24). An endless elastomeric track belt (39) encircles a respective drive wheel (32, 34), roller frame assembly (22, 24), and idler wheel assembly (28, 30) on each side of the vehicle (10). A rigid support beam (26) connects each roller frame assembly (22, 24) to the main frame (12) of the vehicle (10). Each idler wheel assembly (28, 30) includes first and second self-aligning mechanisms (72, 90) to provide that the track belt (39) runs true and straight. The roller frame assemblies (22, 24) can be spaced laterally from the vehicle (10), using various size spacers, to provide various gage settings of the endless track belt (39). During adjustment of the roller frame assemblies (22, 24), a supporting arrangement (142) supports one track roller assembly (22) by the other track roller assembly (24).
