20220382285 · 2022-12-01 ·

An apparatus for mobile machinery includes a sensor module configured for detachable fitment to mobile machinery, and a control module configured to interface with a control system of the mobile machinery. The sensor module includes an orthogonal sensor arrangement for sensing obstacles in three-dimensional space, an orthogonal indicator arrangement configured to provide a gradient proximity indication of an obstacle, and a wireless transceiver arranged in signal communication with the sensor and indicator arrangements. The control module includes a control wireless transceiver for communicating with the wireless transceiver of the sensor module, and a processor in signal communication with the control wireless transceiver, the processor configured to program, via the wireless transceiver of each sensor module, the sensor and indicator arrangements and with predetermined thresholds of obstacle proximity. If a sensed obstacle proximity exceeds a maximum threshold, the processor overrides the control system to facilitate situational awareness of an operator.

HEADER REEL ILLUMINATION
20220381967 · 2022-12-01 ·

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for emitting light from a header reel are disclosed. More particularly, systems, methods, and apparatuses for emitting light at one or more locations along a bat tube of a header reel are disclosed. In some instances, a light source may be provided on the bat tube between adjacent reel fingers coupled to the bat tube. In some instances, the light source may be provided at an aperture formed in the bat tube. The emitted light provides for illumination and operator visualization during, for example, agricultural operations performed at night or during low ambient light conditions.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for emitting light from a header reel are disclosed. More particularly, systems, methods, and apparatuses for emitting light from one or more apertures formed in a reel finger are disclosed. The reel fingers included on a reel may include a cavity through which light is transmitted. The emitted light provides for illumination and operator visualization during, for example, agricultural operations performed at night or during low ambient light conditions.

HEADER REEL ILLUMINATION
20220377982 · 2022-12-01 ·

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for emitting light from a header reel are disclosed. More particularly, systems, methods, and apparatuses for selectively emitting light from different portions of a reel header are disclosed. In some implementations, light is selectively emitted from different parts of a reel header based on a position of the reel header. For example, light may be emitted based on a position of the portion of the reel header as the reel header is rotated. The emitted light provides for illumination and operator visualization during, for example, agricultural operations performed at night or during low ambient light conditions.

CONDITION BASED VEHICLE PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

A vehicle includes a chassis, a driveline coupled to the chassis, and a control system. The control system is configured to monitor a condition of at least one of the vehicle, an area around the vehicle, or an operator of the vehicle; and control operation of the driveline based on the condition. Controlling the operation of the driveline includes at least one of limiting a speed at which the driveline drives the vehicle or shutting down the driveline and isolating a component of the driveline.

RGB LED SIGNAL LIGHTS
20220373152 · 2022-11-24 ·

A vehicle lighting fixture and system where the fixture includes light emitting diodes (LEDs) and a lens. A controller monitors vehicle conditions and sends lighting commands to activate one or more LEDs based on the vehicle conditions. The LEDs can be red-green-blue (RGB) LEDs capable of emitting various different colors. The lighting commands can include illumination color, intensity level and on/off. The LEDs can be arranged in groups, where each group is separated from the other groups. The lighting commands can include a blink/steady designation, where blink causes the group to blink in the illumination color, and steady causes the group to steadily light in the illumination color. A blink frequency can control the blink rate in the illumination color. The lighting commands can include an intensity level; where when a group is activated it is illuminated in the illumination color at the intensity level.

Control system for a machine

A control system for a machine includes a machine, a plurality of proximity sensors coupled to the machine, and a controller in communication with the plurality of proximity sensors. The controller is configured to activate and monitor proximity information from the proximity sensors during a containerization mode and indicate an alert if the proximity information is below a threshold distance.
