Abstract: The present invention proposes a mobile robotic system capable of carrying out the movement, manipulation and precise installation of industrial loads (pipes, plates, equipment, parts, materials, etc.), using a single operator for that and presenting ease of use. The invention is basically composed of an anthropomorphic-type industrial robot (3) and a crawler mobile platform (11). The load capacity of the invention is limited by the maximum load capacity of the industrial robot employed. The precise positioning step has a special force amplification system (external exoskeleton) capable of moving a load fixed on the industrial robot wrist (position and orientation) with the force actions of an operator, directly on the robot wrist, or by means of a security extension. The robotic system can be controlled by radio control, capable of allowing both the control of the robot and the movement of the platform.

Abstract: Presently described is a device (1) for adjusting the angle of disc sections for agricultural harrows which comprises at least one articulation element (10) configured to be pivotally attached to a beam (200) of an agricultural harrow (2), the articulation element (10) being configured to be pivotally attached to an adjustment shaft (20), thus allowing the angular adjustment of the beams of the agricultural harrow sections in both a horizontal plane and a vertical/transverse plane, comprising simple construction when compared to solutions existing in the prior art, making use of few components to allow both adjustments, and providing simple, practical and fast operation, requiring few manipulation steps.

Abstract: Presently described is a support stop (1) for agricultural equipment (2) comprising a support portion (10) to be secured on a first structural portion (20) of the agricultural equipment (2), and a portion of damping (11) configured to contact a second structural portion (21) of the agricultural equipment (2), allowing the structural portions to adequately support and absorb impacts that occur during the displacement of the equipment in the transport position. The present invention further relates to agricultural equipment provided with the aforementioned supporting stop.

Abstract: Presently described is a damping element (1) for supporting a disc (2) of agricultural equipment, the damping element (1) comprising at least one flange (10) arranged on at least one of its longitudinal ends and allowing a adequate arrangement of the damping element in the intermediary between the disc holder and the chassis of the agricultural equipment, preventing its translation or escape from the intermediary of these two parts.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a structural element (1) for agricultural equipment comprising at least one pair of transverse beams (10, 11) associated with at least one pair of support bars (20, 21) of a set of agricultural discs (200), where the longitudinal distance (D1) between the beams of the pair of transverse beams (10, 11) is smaller than the longitudinal distance (D2) between the bars of the pair of support bars (20, 21), the which allows a greater free space for the flow of material cut by the discs (soil and plant residues) and a decrease in the occurrence of stops to clear the obstruction or even the formation of “heaps” on the ground, while still promoting an adequate arrangement for the absorption and dissipation of efforts that act on the structural element.

Abstract: Delegation of processing functions to specialized appliances in an enterprise is provided. An appliance typically comprises a combination of hardware and resident firmware that addresses needs in a computing environment, such as by providing common message transformation, integration, security, filtering and other functions. Delegation is carried out by specifying at least one XML function for front-process offloading from a server to a corresponding appliance configured to receive messages pushed towards the server, communicating management directives to the appliance for configuring the appliance to perform the specified XML function(s) according to specific requirements dynamically specified by the server and communicating instructions to the appliance so that the appliance augments received event messages with intermediate processing information based upon the front-process offloading, as received event messages pass through the appliance.
