System and method for identifying plugging of ground engaging tools based on lifting pressure
A system for identifying plugging within an agricultural implement is provided. The system includes a ground engaging tool configured to be supported by the agricultural implement. A fluidic actuator is coupled to the ground engaging tool. The fluidic actuator is operable to adjust the ground engaging tool between a lifted position and a ground engaging position. A pressure sensor is configured to measure a pressure of fluid supplied to the fluidic actuator. A controller is communicatively coupled to the pressure sensor. The controller is configured to receive, from the pressure sensor, a signal that corresponds to the pressure of fluid supplied to the fluidic actuator. The controller is further configured to determine when the ground engaging tool is plugged based at least in part on the signal from the pressure sensor.

System and Method of Analyzing Duct Pressure within a Pipe
A system and method of analyzing duct pressure within a pipe monitors and detects vacuum pressure of gases, specifically radon levels. The system includes a pressure monitor and a target duct. The pressure monitor preferably includes an alarm light, a speaker, an alarm light, a sensing light, a service light, and a battery alert. The method begins by periodically capturing a plurality of pressure readings inside the target duct with the pressure monitor. Each pressure reading is timestamped with the pressure monitor. Each pressure reading is compared to each situational alert with the pressure monitor to identify at least one matching alert for at least one specific reading. The matching alert is from the plurality of situational alerts. The specific reading is from the plurality of pressure readings. The matching alert is visually and/or audibly outputted with the pressure monitor, if the matching alert is identified for the specific reading.

Differential pressure sensor with RFID tag
A differential pressure sensor with wireless RFID communication ability senses and records a specified differential pressure threshold without great energy consumption and without requiring direct access or visual inspection of the sensing element. The differential pressure sensor includes a sensing element sensing a differential pressure between a low pressure side and a high pressure side and a RFID tag comprising a tag antenna, a tag integrated circuit (IC) and a tamper loop connected to the tag IC for tracking a specific differential pressure threshold of the differential pressure sensor. The RFID tag is connected to the sensing element in such a way that the tamper loop is triggered if the specific differential pressure threshold has been reached.
Automatic Tire Inflator Assembly
An automatic tire inflator assembly includes an input hose that is fluidly attachable to an air source to receive compressed air from the air source. An output hose is fluidly attachable to an air stem of an inflatable tire. A control unit is fluidly coupled to the input hose to receive the compressed air from the air source. Additionally, the control unit is fluidly coupled to the output hose to inflate the inflatable tire. A gauge is fluidly coupled to the control unit and the gauge is settable to determine the pre-determined threshold pressure. The control unit is turned off when the gauge measures air pressure that exceeds the pre-determined threshold pressure to inflate the inflatable tire to a desired air pressure.
