Publication number: 20240065136Abstract: An agricultural machine includes a tractor having a front end, a rear end, and a front frame coupled to the front end. The agricultural machine includes an implement coupled to the rear end of the tractor. The agricultural machine includes a supply line configured to transfer commodity from a front tank, which is configured to be supported above the ground by the front frame, to a main tank of the agricultural machine. The main tank distributes commodity to row units, which distribute the commodity to the soil, and the supply line transfers additional commodity to the main tank. The front frame is movable relative to the front end of the tractor to cause engagement of the supply line with the front tank.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Lee A.

Patent number: 11344804Abstract: Examples of the disclosure provide real-time display of achievements to a user during gameplay. A computing device receives a request from a user to display a portion of achievement data describing performance of the user in a gaming application. Responsive to the received request, the achievement data is filtered based on contextual criteria. The filtered achievement data is provided to a user interface for display during gameplay. The displayed achievement data is updated by the computing device updates during gameplay. The achievement data may be system-level achievement data. Further, the achievement data may be displayed on another computing device.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2019Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Robert M. Smith, Zane W S Teh, Nathan Johnson, Mengyuan Tu, Mitch A. Johnson, Casey Baker, Eric Cancino, Cierra D. McDonald

Patent number: 11160404Abstract: A sleeve for a beverage holder having a lid including an outer surface, a thermally resistant, textured inner surface, and a perforation forming a tab movable between a first position flush with the outer surface and a second position extending outwardly from the outer surface. The tab is adapted to hold the lid in the second position. A method of using the sleeve includes encompassing a beverage holder with the sleeve, folding the tab into the second position, and suspending a lid of the beverage holder on the tab. A method of producing the sleeve includes providing a tool having a handle, and a head having a blade and teeth, and punching the blade and the teeth of the head into the sleeve to form the perforation.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2018Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Inventor: Neil Nathan Johnson
