Damping of Pitching Oscillations of a Working Vehicle by Changing the Speed and Adjusting an Implement taking into Consideration the Operating Mode
An apparatus for damping a pitching oscillation of a working vehicle comprising: a first actuator for adjusting a position of an implement couple to the working vehicle; a second actuator for adjusting a propulsion rate of the working vehicle; and a control device in communication with the first and second actuators, the control device configured to receive an operating mode signal corresponding to an operating mode of at least one of the working vehicle and implement, and to generate control signals to the first actuator and the second actuator as a function of the operating mode signal.
Combine harvester including a feeder house with a lower deflection roller
A combine harvester includes a load-bearing undercarriage movable via a drivable device engaged in the ground, a threshing and separating device attached to the load-bearing undercarriage, and a feeder house attached to the load-bearing undercarriage. The feeder house includes an endless traction mechanism which circulates about a vertically movable lower deflection roller and a drivable upper deflection roller. A harvesting attachment is coupled to the feeder house for receiving or cutting off harvested crops which are lying or standing upright on a field and which are able to be supplied via the feeder house to the threshing and separating device. An actuator is actuated by an external force arranged for adjusting the vertical position of the lower deflection roller and is connected to a control device which is coupled to a sensor for determining a throughput by a transmission of a signal.
VARIABLE SPEED REEL DRIVE FOR A HEADER OF AN AGRICULTURAL HARVESTER
An agricultural harvester header including a first reel, a second reel adjacent the first reel, and a variable speed reel drive between the first and second reels and operatively connected to at least one of the first reel for rotatably driving the first reel and the second reel for rotatably driving the second reel. The variable speed reel drive can include: a variable speed motor, and a multi-speed gearbox operatively coupled to the variable speed motor and at least one of the reels; a motor, and a continuously variable transmission operatively connected to the motor and at least one of the reels; or a motor, and a planetary gear drive operatively coupled to the motor and at least one of the reels.
ACCUMULATOR CONTENTS DETECTION SYSTEM FOR HARVESTER
An accumulator contents detection system for a harvester includes an accumulator, a plurality of metering rollers, and at least one sensor. The accumulator accumulates crop material. The plurality of metering rollers receives crop material from the accumulator. The plurality of metering rollers includes a drive metering roller. The at least one sensor detects a load transmitted to the drive metering roller.
CUTTER BAR ASSEMBLY FOR A HARVESTER
An agricultural system includes an arm of a header. The arm is configured to rotate about a pivot joint. The agricultural system also includes a fluid-filled biasing member, an actuator, and a controller. The fluid-filled biasing member is configured to couple to the arm and to impart a torque onto the arm. The actuator is coupled to the fluid-filled biasing member and is configured to move the fluid-filled biasing member relative to the actuator to change the torque imparted by the fluid-filled biasing member onto the arm. The controller configured to receive an input indicative of a target flotation pressure of the arm output a signal to instruct the actuator to set a position of the fluid-filled biasing member relative to the actuator based at least in part on the target flotation pressure of the arm.
Mobile casino jackpot payment reporting system with secure email form reporting to customer
Relative to a gaming system, a jackpot or game win processing device and server are configured to receive acknowledgement from a player regarding a gaming win award, such as input to the game win processing device of a signature by the player to gaming win forms. In response, the server is configured to generate at least one gaming win reporting form, such as a W2G, to generate a security code from at least two elements of personal information regarding the player, such as obtained from a casino player tracking server, to then secure the at the least one reporting form and then email the secure form to the player.
AGRICULTURAL HARVESTER WITH PROACTIVE RESPONSE TO MOISTURE LEVEL OF COLLECTED CROP MATERIAL
An agricultural harvester includes: a chassis; a threshing and separation system including at least one concave carried by the chassis, the threshing and separation system being configured to thresh and separate a flow of crop material; and a controller carried by the chassis. The controller is configured to: operably couple to a moisture sensor disposed upstream of the threshing and separation system, relative to the flow of crop material; determine a moisture level of crop material headed for the threshing and separation system; and output an adjustment signal to at least one component of the agricultural harvester to adjust performance of the threshing and separation system based at least partially on the determined moisture level.
Work vehicle engine control systems operable in enhanced scheduled power reduction modes
Work vehicle engine control systems operable in enhanced engine protection (EP) modes, and associated methods and program products, include a memory storing a first default power profile having a first profile shape as expressed on a power/speed graph, which plots power output and engine speed along vertical and horizontal axes, respectively. A controller architecture is coupled to the memory and is operable in the enhanced EP mode in which the controller architecture: (i) generates a first dynamically-adjusted power profile by repeatedly fitting the first profile shape beneath a moving EP ceiling as expressed on the power/speed graph; (ii) utilizes the first dynamically-adjusted power profile to determine a power output target (PO.sub.TAR) corresponding to a current speed of the work vehicle engine; and (iii) schedules the power output of the work vehicle engine in accordance with the power output target (PO.sub.TAR).
UPDATING EXECUTION OF TASKS OF AN AGRICULTURAL PRESCRIPTION
A method begins by a computing device allocating a plurality of tasks of an agricultural prescription for a farming geographic area to a fleet of farming equipment. While executing tasks of the plurality of tasks, the method continues with at least some of the fleet of farming equipment collecting task execution data. Based on the task execution data, the method continues with the computing device updating at least one of the agricultural prescription, the plurality of tasks, and the allocation of at least one task of the plurality of tasks.
Rotary Spreader for Dispersing Harvested Crops Within On-Board Storage of an Agricultural Harvester
A system for operating a harvester may include an elevator extending between a proximal end and a distal end, with the elevator being configured to carry harvested crops between its proximal and distal ends. The system may also include a storage hopper positioned adjacent to the distal end of the elevator, with the storage hopper defining a volume configured to receive the harvested crops discharged from the distal end of the elevator. In addition, the system may include a rotary spreader positioned within the storage hopper. The rotary spreader may be configured to be rotated within the storage hopper to disperse the harvested crops received from the elevator across at least a portion of the volume.
