Lawn Care Vehicle Brake System with Improved Brake Cable Actuation
A riding lawn care vehicle (10) includes first and second drive wheels (32), a steering lever (34), a brake assembly (110), and a mechanical brake linkage assembly (120) including a cable tensioner (250). The brake assembly (110) may be operably coupled to at least one of the first and second drive wheels (32) to enable brakes to be selectively applied to the first and second drive wheels (32) based on a position of the steering lever (34). The cable tensioner (250) may be configured to activate the brake assembly (110) relative to the at least one of the first and second drive wheels (32) in response to the steering lever (34) being moved outwardly to an outboard position. The mechanical linkage assembly (120) may be configured to provide a greater amount of rotation of the cable tensioner (250) than a magnitude of rotation of the steering lever (34) when the steering lever (34) is moved from the inboard position to the outboard position.
Hydraulic work machine
A hydraulic work machine is provided in which left and right hydraulic motors are driven independently of each other by two hydraulic pumps and in which an anomaly of any of the left and right track devices can be detected with high accuracy. The hydraulic work machine includes a first pressure sensor 13 configured to detect a first pump pressure that is a delivery pressure of a first hydraulic pump 11 and a second pressure sensor 23 configured to detect a second pump pressure that is a delivery pressure of a second hydraulic pump 21. When a controller 2 decides, from detection results of a travel operation detector 5 and work operation detectors 3 and 4, that a work implement 103 is not operated but travel operation devices 6 and 7 are operated and besides left and right track devices 50 and 60 are straightly traveling, the controller 2 calculates an anomaly decision evaluation value based on a pressure difference value obtained by subtracting one from the other of the first pump pressure and the second pump pressure and decides, based on a result of comparison between the anomaly decision evaluation value and a predetermined decision reference value 84, that one of the left and right track devices has an anomaly.
Vehicle steering assembly
A vehicle steering assembly for controlling movement of a vehicle having independently rotatable left and right ground-engaging traction elements. The steering assembly comprises a steering handle coupled to the panel support structure and extending generally upwardly from the panel support structure. The steering handle comprises a laterally-extending crossmember and at least one upright extension member. The crossmember and the upright extension member are rigidly connected to one another so that shifting of the crossmember relative to the extension member is substantially prevented. The steering handle is shiftable in forward and rearward directions to thereby cause corresponding forward and rearward rotation of both of the left and right traction elements. The steering handle is rotatable in clockwise and counterclockwise directions to thereby cause a change in the relative speeds and directions of rotation of the left and right traction elements.
Vehicle controllers for agricultural and industrial applications
Systems and methods for vehicle controllers for agricultural and industrial applications are described. For example, a method includes receiving image data, captured using one or more image sensors connected to a vehicle, depicting one or more plants in a vicinity of the vehicle; detecting the one or more plants based on the image data; responsive to detecting the one or more plants, adjusting implement control data; and controlling, based on the adjusted implement control data, an implement connected to the vehicle to perform an operation on the one or more plants.
Motorcycle Accessory Mounting System
A motorcycle accessory mounting system for conveniently riding with beverages and a cellphone includes a cellphone mount apparatus and a beverage mount apparatus. The cellphone mount apparatus comprises a cellphone clamp to selectively engage a handlebar of a motorcycle. A cellphone holder back is coupled to a cellphone rod. A pair of cellphone holder sides is coupled to the cellphone holder back and to selectively engage a cellphone. The beverage mount apparatus comprises a beverage clamp to selectively engage the handlebar. A beverage holder is coupled to a beverage rod and has a cup bottom, a cup sidewall coupled to the cup bottom, and an open cup top side. The beverage holder serves as a cup holder to receive a cup conforming to the cup sidewall. A lid and a straw are engageable with the open cup top side.

ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SAME
Certain embodiments disclosed in the present document relate to an electronic device and a method for operating the same. According to an embodiment, it is possible to provide an electronic device including: a ball structure including a housing and a first driving module configured to contact at least a part of an inner surface of the housing and to drive the housing; an outer ring structure rotatably coupled to an outer surface of the ball structure; an inner ring structure arranged inside the housing so as to face the outer ring structure with the housing interposed therebetween; and a second driving module arranged inside the housing so as to drive the inner ring structure.
VEHICLE
To provide a vehicle including a left continuously variable transmission connected to a left wheel and a right continuously variable transmission connected to a right wheel, at least one operation tool operated to instruct driving of the left wheel and the right wheel, a control device configured to control driving of the left continuously variable transmission and the right continuously variable transmission according to an operation of the at least one operation tool, and a turn operation tool provided on each of the at least one operation tool. If the turn operation tool is operated, the control device controls the left continuously variable transmission and the right continuously variable transmission so that the vehicle is turned to a side of the operated turn operation tool.
TRACK SYSTEM
A track system includes an attachment assembly including at least one of a first pivot defining a roll pivot axis, a second pivot defining a pitch pivot axis, and a third pivot defining a yaw pivot axis of the track system. A frame assembly is disposed laterally outwardly from the attachment assembly and connected to the attachment assembly. The track system further includes at least one actuator for pivoting the frame assembly about at least one of the roll and yaw pivot axes, and at least one monitoring for determining, at least indirectly, at least one of a state of the track system and a ground surface condition. The at least one monitoring sensor is communicating with a track system controller to control the operation of the at least one actuator based on the at least one of the state of the track system and the ground surface condition.
Stand-On Lawn Care Vehicle
A riding lawn care vehicle (10, 310) may include a frame (30, 330), an engine (340, 40), a steering assembly, a support platform (20, 30, 320) and a front platform (348, 48). At least a pair of drive wheels may be operably coupled to the frame (30, 330). The engine (340, 40) is operably coupled to the frame (30, 330) via an engine platform (342, 42). The engine (340, 40) is disposed substantially between the drive wheels to selectively provide drive power to the drive wheels via respective hydraulic pumps (346, 46). The steering assembly includes control levers (50) operably coupled to respective ones of the drive wheels via the respective hydraulic pumps (346, 46). The steering assembly enables steering of the riding lawn care vehicle (10, 310) based on drive speed control of the drive wheels responsive to positioning of the control levers (50). The support platform (20, 30, 320) is operably coupled to the frame (30, 330) at a rear portion of the riding lawn care vehicle (10, 310) to support a standing operator. The front platform (348, 48) is operably coupled to the frame (30, 330) forward of the engine platform (342, 42). The front platform (348, 48) supports the hydraulic pumps (346, 46).
