  • Patent number: 11962075
    Abstract: It is aimed to provide a wireless vehicle to vehicle communication system arranged for mounting on a vehicle's front side location, equipped to provide inter vehicle communication. The system comprises a wing assembly arranged for mounting on the vehicles front side location. The wing assembly houses one or more digital communications antennas and has a side portion that houses a first antenna at a first height and/or horizontal position, and a second antenna at a second height and/or horizontal position, different from the first height and/or first horizontal position and sufficiently away from the other metallic and/or electronic components, for the purpose of optimizing reception and/or transmission quality, by e.g. providing good coverage and diversity, and avoiding interference with each other.

  • Patent number: 10645852
    Abstract: A finger-hoe tool for a soil-tilling device, which has at least one finger, and a method for mechanical control of weeds in row crops make possible an input of loose materials into the row or a discharge of loose materials from the row, because the at least one finger has at least one device for collection and/or removal of the loose materials (e.g. earth, sand, stones), whereby not only the weakly rooted weeds but also more strongly rooted weeds can be controlled.

  • Patent number: 10238021
    Abstract: A soil-working device for row plantations has a frame and at least one beam, on which at least one finger-weeder tool is arranged, which in particular can be designed to be passively drivable and which is oriented at a setting angle to the soil in a working position for soil working, and a method height-guides at least one finger-weeder tool above a row in a row plantation, wherein the soil-working device has at least one height-guiding apparatus, which keeps the setting angle of a finger-weeder tool in the working position constant and which can be designed advantageously in such a way that the height-guiding apparatus enables the height guidance of further soil-working tools which are operated next to the finger weeders and which thus can likewise be guided in height.
