GNSS and optical guidance and machine control
A global navigation satellite sensor system (GNSS) and gyroscope control system for vehicle steering control comprising a GNSS receiver and antennas at a fixed spacing to determine a vehicle position, velocity and at least one of a heading angle, a pitch angle and a roll angle based on carrier phase position differences. The system also includes a control system configured to receive the vehicle position, heading, and at least one of roll and pitch, and configured to generate a steering command to a vehicle steering system. The system includes gyroscopes for determining system attitude change with respect to multiple axes for integrating with GNSS-derived positioning information to determine vehicle position, velocity, rate-of-turn, attitude and other operating characteristics. Relative orientations and attitudes between motive and working components can be determined using optical sensors and cameras. The system can also be used to guide multiple vehicles in relation to each other.

TILLER ASSEMBLY FOR TREATING THE SURFACE SOIL
A tiller assembly for treating a surface of a soil, preferably a snowy soil, comprising a support structure and a tiller rotatably mounted on said support structure, extending along a tilling axis, and configured to rotate about said tilling axis so as to treat said soil. Said tiller comprises a first tilling portion extending along a first tilling axis, and a second tilling portion extending along a second tilling axis. There is a transmission means interposed between the two portions, which comprises: an angular gear reducer, first connection means and second connection means configured to mechanically connect respectively said first and second portion to said gear reducer and to allow a simultaneous inclination of said first and second tilling portion with respect to said tilling axis.

Ski resort management system
A ski resort management system comprising: a data acquisition system that receives data from telemetry systems of the lift systems, of the snow generators and of the snow groomers of the ski resort; a processing station; mass storage units, containing a system database fed by the data acquisition system; and a display interface, accessible from operator terminals. The data acquisition system stores data and signals from the lift systems, the snow generators and the snow groomers in the system database. The processing station enables setting a mode of the display interface for alternatively displaying data relative to each lift system, to each snow generator or to each snow groomer, or to display, in an aggregated form, data relative to all the lift systems, all the snow generators and all the snow groomers.
