  • LAWN CARE VEHICLE WITH IMPROVED SEAT ISOLATION
    Publication number: 20230256876
    Abstract: A riding lawn care vehicle may include a frame to which wheels of the riding lawn care vehicle are attachable, a seat from which an operator of the riding lawn care vehicle is enabled to access steering controls for the riding lawn care vehicle, a seat mounting structure to which the seat is mounted, an isolation assembly providing vibration isolation between the frame and the seat mounting structure, and a hinge assembly configured to enable the seat to be pivoted via the seat mounting structure from an operating position to a pivoted position in which an area under the seat is exposed or accessible. The hinge assembly and at least a portion of the isolation assembly may be integrated to isolate the seat from vibrations at the frame.

  • ESTIMATING PHYSICAL PARAMETERS USING THREE DIMENSIONAL REPRESENTATIONS
    Publication number: 20140286540
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for estimating physical parameters using three dimensional representations. In one aspect, predetermined light patterns are projected onto an object and light patterns resulting from an interaction of the projected light patterns and portions of the object are detected. Three dimensional locations of multiple light elements in the detected light pattern are determined, and physical parameters of the object, for example, weight, are estimated based on the locations.
