SELF-MOVING LAWN MOWER AND SUPPLEMENTARY OPERATION METHOD FOR AN UNMOWED REGION THEREOF
A self-moving mowing system includes a self-moving lawn mower and a control unit. The control unit includes a boundary acquisition module, an unmowed region determination module, a filling planning module, and a control module. The boundary acquisition module is configured to acquire information about an operation boundary so as to control the self-moving lawn mower to operate within the operation boundary. The unmowed region determination module is configured to identify information about unmowed regions within the operation boundary. The filling planning module is configured to generate an operation route along which mowing is sequentially performed in at least one unmowed region among all the unmowed regions. The control module is configured to control the self-moving lawn mower to mow in the at least one unmowed region among all the unmowed regions according to the operation route.

INDEPENDENT CONTROL SYSTEM FOR ELECTRIC TERRAIN WORKING VEHICLE
A control system for an electric, terrain-working vehicle having a left drive wheel powered by a left traction motor, a right drive wheel powered by a right traction motor, at least a first implement powered at least by a first implement motor, and a battery supplying power to the left traction motor, the right traction motor and the first implement motor when certain conditions are met. The control system comprises a first implement controller comprising logic to control the battery-supplied power to the first implement motor; a left traction controller comprising logic to control the battery-supplied power to the left traction motor; and a right traction controller comprising logic to control the battery-supplied power to the right traction motor. The first implement controller, the left traction controller and the right traction controller are independent from one another.

LAWN MOWER EXTENSION
A lawnmower trimming and edging extension is attached to a lawnmower. The lawnmower has a motor, a deck, and a push handle. The lawnmower extension includes a trimmer motor having a shaft and a self-feeding string trimmer cutter coupled to the shaft. The trimmer motor coupled to the deck and oriented the self-feeding trimmer cutter to cut an area about the deck. The trimming extension controls electrically connects the trimmer motor to an electrical power source and the trimming extension controls. An outside protective plate is coupled to an inside protective plate by a trimmer-edger hinge and to the deck. The trimmer-edger hinge pivots the inside protective plate between a horizontal position and a vertical position. The trimmer motor is coupled to the inside protective plate such that is self-feeding trimmer cutter is oriented as the inside protective plate when it pivots between the horizontal position and the vertical position.
INTELLIGENT HYBRID POWERTRAIN SYSTEMS FOR COMBINE HARVESTERS
Embodiments of an intelligent hybrid powertrain system include an engine, a controller architecture, and an electric drive subsystem having a battery supply and a motor/generator. The controller architecture is configured to: (i) monitor a current state of charge (SoC) of the battery supply when the combine harvester engages in a combine harvest cycle having a tank fill phase and a tank unload phase; (ii) during the tank fill phase, operate the motor/generator to supplement the engine power output and regulate a rate of battery discharge to prevent the current SoC of the battery supply from decreasing below a lower predetermined SoC threshold prior to completion of the tank fill phase; and (iii) during the tank unload phase, operate the motor/generator to charge the battery supply until the current SoC of the battery supply is equal to or greater than a first upper predetermined SoC threshold.
