Summary of the patent applications from Caterpillar Inc. on November 30th, 2023

Caterpillar Inc. has recently filed several patents for various systems and methods. These patents cover a range of innovations, including event information systems, fuel cell stack humidity detection, mobile device measurement methods, laser positioning systems, orientation plates, retainers, shroud retention systems, machine rotation mechanisms, autonomous mining truck maneuvers, and blade penetration assessment methods.

In summary, Caterpillar Inc. has filed patents for:

- An event information system that allows for flexible event indicator annunciation. - A fuel cell stack humidity detection system that prevents flooding based on voltage and humidity levels. - A mobile device measurement method using a caliper with markers for accurate dimension determination. - A laser positioning system for tool or component placement on a workpiece. - An orientation plate with multiple apertures and orientation flats for precise positioning. - A retainer with a drive portion, lug receiving portion, and hook tab for secure fastening. - A shroud retention system with a retainer plate holder and protrusions for effective retention. - A machine rotation mechanism with a mounting bracket, position sensor, and links for horizontal rotation. - An autonomous mining truck maneuver method using boundary data to determine turn paths. - A blade penetration assessment method using position sensors to determine cut effectiveness.

Notable applications of these innovations include:

- Improved event information display and annunciation. - Enhanced fuel cell stack performance and prevention of flooding. - Convenient and accurate measurement using mobile devices and calipers. - Precise tool or component placement using laser positioning. - Reliable and secure fastening with retainers. - Effective retention of shrouds in various applications. - Efficient and precise machine rotation mechanisms. - Autonomous mining truck maneuvering in operating areas. - Assessment of blade penetration effectiveness for improved cutting operations.
