  • Publication number: 20240142043
    Abstract: A system includes a base support positioned within a cab of an agricultural vehicle, a first support arm extending between a first proximal end and a first distal end, a second support arm extending between a second proximal end and a second distal end, a first display coupled to the first distal end, and a second display coupled to the second distal end. The first proximal end is rotatably coupled to the base support about a first axis and the second proximal end is rotatably coupled to the base support about a second axis. The second support arm is rotatable about the second axis along a second path independently of rotation of the first support arm about the first axis along a first path, where the entire first path is spaced radially inwardly from the second path relative to the second axis.

  • Patent number: 10352102
    Abstract: A method includes rotating a rotary drill bit about a central axis in a rotational direction. The rotary drill bit includes a bit body having a forward end and a rearward end and a plurality of cutting elements coupled to the bit body. Each of the plurality of cutting elements includes a substrate, polycrystalline diamond bonded to the substrate, a substantially planar, substantially semi-circular cutting face, a cutting edge adjacent the cutting face, and a side surface that extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the cutting face. The method also includes moving the rotary drill bit in an axially forward direction while rotating the rotary drill bit such that the plurality of cutting elements cut into a formation and removing debris generated by the plurality of cutting elements.

  • Patent number: 9982489
    Abstract: A rotary drill bit for drilling formations in dry-drilling environments is disclosed. The rotary drill bit may include a bit body rotatable about a central axis. The rotary drill bit may also include at least one cutting element coupled to the bit body. The at least one cutting element may have a cutting face, a cutting edge adjacent the cutting face, and a back surface opposite the cutting face. The at least one cutting element may be oriented so that a substantial portion of the cutting edge has a positive clearance angle, which may be defined by a first vector that is normal to the cutting face and a second vector that is tangential to a helical path traveled by the cutting edge during drilling.
