  • Publication number: 20170086372
    Abstract: A wind speed sensor includes a shroud that is elongate along a longitudinal axis that is generally transverse to a direction of travel of a mobile machine to which it is mounted. The wind speed sensor senses a magnitude of a crosswind component. An action signal is generated based upon the crosswind component sensed by the wind speed sensor. The action signal can be used to control a direction of residue discharge from the mobile machine.

  • Patent number: 9560802
    Abstract: A sensor signal is received, and is indicative of a sensed parameter. A metric is generated that indicates a likelihood of a tailings elevator plug, based upon the sensed parameter. A controller determines whether adjustments to controllable mechanisms are to be made, based upon the metric, in order to avoid a tailings elevator plug and, if so, automatically makes the adjustments.

  • Publication number: 20160189007
    Abstract: A method and non-transitory computer-readable medium capture an image of bulk grain and apply a feature extractor to the image to determine a feature of the bulk grain in the image. For each of a plurality of different sampling locations in the image, based upon the feature of the bulk grain at the sampling location, a determination is made regarding a classification score for the presence of a classification of material at the sampling location. A quality of the bulk grain of the image is determined based upon an aggregation of the classification scores for the presence of the classification of material at the sampling locations.
