A method for controlling an attachment provided to a boom of a vehicle, the method including: sensing a ground force on the attachment; determining if the ground force is outside a target deadband, wherein the target deadband is based on a height of the attachment over the ground, and, if the ground force is outside the target deadband, adjusting a cylinder pressure to bring the ground force within the deadband. A system for controlling an attachment on a boom, the system including: a control system; a hydraulic system for at least a first piston provided to the boom; and a first pressure sensor for sensing a pressure related to the attachment and communicating the sensed pressure to the control system, wherein the control system determines if the pressure is outside a target deadband, and, if so, adjusts a pressure at the piston to bring the sensed pressure within the deadband.

A detection system includes a plurality of support posts, cables supported by the support posts, a winding device operable to wind the cable, a lifting and lowering device that is connected to the cable, and is movable in an air when the cable is wound by the winding device, and a detecting device hung by the lifting and lowering device. The detecting device is configured to be moved by the winding device in a region defined by the support posts, and lowered by the lifting and lowering device to detect information concerning an object.

Methods and systems are presented for making good use of recently obtained biometric data, for configuring propagule capsules (e.g. containing seeds or spores with growth media and other helpful materials) for deployment via drones so that each has an improved chance of survival, and for configuring drones or piloted craft for safe fleet deployment in remote locations.

The application provides a method for improving nutrient supply of female floral branches of Populus deltoides artificial hybridization. According to the technical links of the hybridization operation, the method separately integrates and improves the cultivation of female floral branch nutrient-supply seedlings (i.e., grafting rootstocks of floral branches), the pre-management of female floral branch nutrient-supply seedlings, the hydroponic management of floral branches, the Marching between female floral branches and rootstocks, the management of female floral branch nutrient-supply seedlings and the hydroponic management of female floral branches, so the goal of improving the seed-setting rate and quality of poplar hybrid seeds which came from the floral branches cultured in water has been achieved. Compared with the conventional method, the method of the invention not only can realize good seed quality, but also improve the seed-setting rate, and has a remarkable effect when applied to Populus deltoides artificial hybridization.

A system includes a processing device and memory device storing instructions that result in accessing a first dataset including aerial imagery data and infrared data, accessing a second dataset including property boundary data, and identifying property boundaries associated with a geographic area. A plurality of models is applied to the datasets to identify and compute information of interest. Based on the first dataset and constrained by the property boundaries, a building detection model can be applied to identify a building, and a vegetation detection model can be applied to identify one or more areas of vegetation. An estimated distance can be determined between each of the areas of vegetation and the building as separation data, which can be compared to a defensible space guideline to determine a defensible space adherence score. A wildfire risk map can be generated, including the defensible space adherence score associated with the geographic area.

A work machine includes a ground propulsion apparatus, a undercarriage frame supported by the ground propulsion apparatus, a machine body supported by the undercarriage frame, a work implement attached to at least one of the undercarriage frame and the machine body, and a tilt mechanism. The machine body includes a chassis coupled to the undercarriage frame and a cab supported on the chassis. The tilt mechanism is arranged to tilt the cab relative to the chassis between an upright position and a recumbent position. The tilt mechanism includes an actuator arranged to move the cab relative to the chassis, and a lock arranged to selectively lock the cab in the upright position relative to the chassis.

The present disclosure provides an appliance for towing compact loads (e.g., logs), and include an auxiliary winch provided in combination with a main winch on a tractor without the need for separate powering means or the need to transport said auxiliary winch to the area adjacent to the load (away from the main winch/tractor.) The appliance may be provided by upgrading an existing tractor winch by, for example, attaching the auxiliary winch to a casing of the main winch, or to the ground adjacent the tractor with the main winch. The auxiliary winch may be furnished with a driving means powered by disposable powering means on the tractor that may include auxiliary pulley block(s) with an accompanying accessory to provide attachment thereof to the terrain, with each pulley block suitable for guiding an auxiliary cable in the area outside of the line between the main winch and the load.
