System and method for a multifunctional, intelligent telescoping boom
Disclosed are various embodiments, aspects and features a multifunction, intelligent telescoping boom system. The system may comprise a hydraulic circuit with a continuous, circulating flow through a circuit that includes a hydraulic pump and a configurable valve bank. Valves in the valve bank may be designated to given components of any of a multitude of implement attachments. In this way, the continuous flow of hydraulic fluid through the valve bank may be distributed, via the valves, to the hydraulic components of implements. Hydraulic flow in excess of the demand created by the hydraulic components moves on through the valve bank and returns to the pump to continue the circulation. Also returning to the pump from the valve bank is any hydraulic fluid returning to the valve bank from the hydraulic components. Advantageously, because the system provides a continuous circulation of pressurized hydraulic fluid through the bank, implements with a mix of linear and rotating hydraulic components may be simultaneously powered from the same source of pressurized flow.
BRACKET ASSEMBLY FOR LIFTING AN ARTICULATED MACHINE
A bracket assembly for lifting of an articulated machine at a centre point, the bracket assembly comprising: a first rigid bracket extending along a longitudinal axis and including proximal end portion for attaching the bracket assembly to the articulated machine and a distal end portion, and a slider bracket including a through-hole for engagement with a lifting hook, the slider bracket is attached to the first rigid bracket at the distal end with a sliding mechanism that is configured to allow for the slider bracket to slide with respect to the first rigid bracket along the longitudinal axis between a default position and a lifting position, wherein in the lifting position the slider bracket reaches further in a distal direction compared to in the default position.
Screed assembly with automatic start-stop system
A screed assembly is provided for use at a road finisher. This comprises a control unit, a first compacting device and a second compacting device, which is arranged in a first direction behind the first compacting device. The disclosure is characterized in that the control unit is configured to activate and/or deactivate the second compacting device in a delayed manner relative to the first compacting device by a time period, which is unequal to zero. A method for operating a screed assembly for use at a road finisher is also provided. This comprises the following steps: activating and/or deactivating a first compacting device of the screed assembly, activating and/or deactivating a second compacting device of the screed assembly, which is arranged in direction of travel of the road finisher behind the first compacting device, after expiration of a predeterminable time period, which is unequal to zero.

Method for constructing continuously reinforced concrete pavement using foam shotcrete
The present invention relates to a method for constructing a continuously reinforced concrete pavement using foam shotcrete by: positioning continuous reinforcement bars on a base layer where a concrete pavement is constructed; producing normal concrete having a compressive strength of 21-30 MPa from a batch plant and transporting same to a construction site; and shooting a normal strength concrete, which has been produced by mixing, with a mixing part, fly ash or fine slag powder or a low-grade mixed material produced by mixing the fly and the fine slag powder in a state in which fluidity has been increased by mixing in 20-40% of air bubbles with respect to volume, or shooting a high-performance concrete, which has been produced by mixing, with the mixing part, one or a mixture of two or more of silica fume, meta-kaolin, latex, polymers, and a coloring material.
