Abstract: Agricultural electronics include many components. The components can be connected via an electronic link that connects the various components to components of an agricultural implement. This can include the use of a component type identifier and a master module. The identifier and the module can communicate data, including identification data and instructional data, to easily acknowledge and operate various electrical components of the agricultural implement. Additional sensors can be included to provide even additional data that is communicated between the module and the components of the agricultural implement to aid in providing instructions for operation and to provide additional data information.

Abstract: Techniques for providing a suggested message to a user of a communication platform are described herein. The communication platform can receive a request, from a first user, to suggest a message (e.g., suggested message) to a second user with whom the first user is connected via the communication platform. The request can include contents of the suggested message and a user identifier associated with the second user. In some examples, the request can additionally include a suggested virtual space via which the suggested message is to be published, a suggested time for delivery, and/or the like. The communication platform can cause a presentation of the suggested message to the second user, such as via a user interface. In response to receiving an approval of the suggested message via the user interface, the communication platform can cause a publication thereof in association with a user account of the second user.

Abstract: A portable heater includes a housing having an air inlet and an air outlet, one or more burners housing within the housing and configured to heat air passing through the housing from the air inlet to the air outlet, and a duct positioned in a storage compartment of the housing. The duct includes a first end coupled to the storage compartment and a second end extendable from the housing when a door of the storage compartment is in an open position.

Abstract: An outdoor power equipment device, such as a lawn mower, includes a main chassis having first and second pivot joints, a first rocker arm having a caster wheel on a first end portion and a drive wheel on a second end portion, and a second rocker arm having a caster wheel on a first end portion and a drive wheel on a second end portion, wherein the first rocker arm and the second rocker arm are independently pivotally coupled to the respective first and second pivot joints of the main chassis at a location between the caster wheels and the drive wheels.

Abstract: A portable industrial heater including a housing having an air inlet and an air outlet, one or more burners housed within the housing and configured to heat air passing through the housing from the air inlet to the air outlet, and a generator selectively providing power to the one or more burners. The air inlet and the air outlet are positioned on a same side of the housing.

Abstract: A ride-on vehicle, such as a zero turn radius lawnmower, includes a main chassis having first and second pivot joints, a first rocker arm having a caster wheel on a first end portion and a drive wheel on a second end portion, and a second rocker arm having a caster wheel on a first end portion and a drive wheel on a second end portion, wherein the first rocker arm and the second rocker arm are independently pivotally coupled to the respective first and second pivot joints of the main chassis at a location between the caster wheels and the drive wheels. The ride-on vehicle may also include a modular mower deck assembly with a plurality of mower deck modules having a blade assembly, an electric blade motor configured to provide rotation to the blade assembly, and an attachment assembly configured to enable attachment between adjacent mower deck modules.

Abstract: A battery pack for powering equipment includes a core battery pack, a first housing, and a second housing. The core battery pack has a capacity of outputting a constant amount of current to deliver at least 1000 Watt-hours of energy. The core battery pack includes multiple battery cells and a mating interface. The mating interface is configured to selectively and electrically couple the core battery pack with an interface of a piece of power equipment or a charger. The first housing includes a handle and is attached to the core battery pack. The second housing is attached to the core battery pack and is configured to dampen a force experienced by the core battery pack upon an impact.

Abstract: A power system for power equipment includes a battery having a capacity of at least 300-Watt hours and including a battery housing substantially enclosing the battery and a receiver including electrical terminals provided on the receiver, the electrical terminals selectively and electrically coupled to the battery. The receiver is configured to selectively couple with a portion of the battery housing. The receiver is configured to be decoupled from the portion of the battery housing without the use of tools. The receiver includes a planar mounting surface including at least one aperture for receiving a threaded fastener. The receiver is coupled to the power equipment via a threaded fastener.

Abstract: A portable industrial heater including a housing having an air inlet and an air outlet, one or more burners housed within the housing and configured to heat air passing through the housing from the air inlet to the air outlet, and a generator selectively providing power to the one or more burners. The air inlet and the air outlet are positioned on a same side of the housing.

Abstract: A backpack system for use with a power tool, the system including a harness system configured to extend at least over a user's shoulders, and a carrier portion configured to be coupled to the harness system. At least one battery pack is housed within the carrier portion, and at least one electrical connector is coupled to the at least one battery pack, with the at least one battery pack being configured to provide power to the power tool. The carrier portion may further include at least one opening formed therein to allow the passage of air at least partially through the carrier portion. The power tool may be a string trimmer or a blower. Additionally, one or more carrier portions may be recharged in a recharging station which is configured to allow for hands-free connection of a carrier portion to a user's harness system.

Abstract: A ride-on vehicle, such as a zero turn radius lawnmower, includes a main chassis having first and second pivot joints, a in first rocker arm having a caster wheel on a first end portion and a drive wheel on a second end portion, and a second rocker arm having a caster wheel on a first end portion and a drive wheel on a second end portion, wherein the first rocker arm and the second rocker arm are independently pivotally coupled to the respective first and second pivot joints of the main chassis at a location between the caster wheels and the drive wheels.

Abstract: A stanchion includes storage for a linkage member. The stanchion includes a hollow pole and a cap piece inserted into the top portion of the pole. Vertical movement of the cap piece may provide clearance for a linkage opening to allow the linkage member to be pulled from or pushed into the interior of the hollow pole.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present disclosure describe a pole and base assembly. The pole and base assembly includes a pole with an upper engagement portion and a lower engagement portion that are biased toward each other. A base includes a socket to receive the pole and a channel that allows the lower engagement portion to pass through the base. The upper engagement portion is retained on the top surface of the base. When the lower engagement portion is passed through the socket and aligned with a locking portion, the biasing force causes the upper and lower engagement portions to clamp together around the base and lock the pole to the base.
