  • Patent number: 11965313
    Abstract: A method for determining parallel lift feedforward control of a bucket of a work vehicle is provided. The method includes calculating a current stroke length of a bucket cylinder at a current moment based on a current bell crank plate angle and a current boom angle. The method includes predicting a future boom angle after a certain number of steps. The method further includes calculating a required bell crank plate angle from a learned cutting edge angle and the future boom angle. The method even further includes calculating a future stroke length of the bucket cylinder after the certain number of steps. The method yet further includes calculating an average speed command for bucket control based on the current stroke length and the future stroke length of the bucket cylinder.

  • Patent number: 11596113
    Abstract: A controlled and closed agricultural system includes a growing space and an air handling system having an enthalpy wheel and cooling coil. The enthalpy wheel is capable of transferring sensible and latent heat and is positioned in and rotatable through a recirculating air duct and an outside air duct. The recirculating air duct is in fluid connection with the growing space and one or more recirculation fans, while the outside air duct is in fluid connection with one or more outside air fans positioned to cause outside air to flow countercurrent to recirculating air. A cooling coil is positioned within the recirculating air duct, downstream of and in series with the enthalpy wheel. The cooling coil circulates a heat transfer fluid to remove additional heat from the recirculating air.

Treatment pathway data representing a sequence of actions for a particular treatment or diagnosis of a medical condition of the patient are retrieved. The interface guides the particular treatment or diagnosis of the medical condition by a traversal of the treatment pathway. A data trace is generated from additional patient data received during the traversal. The represents the instance of the particular treatment or diagnosis of the medical condition of the patient. The data are used to affect the particular treatment or diagnosis for the medical condition to the patient and inform machine learning operations for diagnosis or treatment of the medical condition.
