Abstract: A wheel track monitoring system for an irrigation system monitors the condition of a wheel track and alerts an operator and/or automatically takes corrective action when a wheel track develops ruts or other conditions that may adversely affect operation of the irrigation system. The wheel track monitoring system includes a wheel track condition sensor, a location sensor, and a processing system. The processing system receives and stores wheel track condition data and location data from the sensors as the irrigation system travels across a field and creates a log of wheel track condition data for multiple locations in the field. The processing system also analyzes the wheel track condition data to determine if the condition of the wheel track is unacceptable at any locations in the irrigated field and generates a corrective action signal if the condition is unacceptable.

Abstract: A servicing tool may provide a portable, lightweight solution to adjusting the height of struts of aircraft. The tool may provide hydraulic fluid at high pressure to an already pressurized strut. The hydraulic fluid may be supplied to the strut by the tool at a pressure in excess of a pressured gas in the strut to increase the height of the strut. The tool provides techniques to raise and lower the strut when access to high-pressure gas is unavailable. Further, with the application of high-pressure hydraulic fluid, the tool may be used to increase the strut height while also increasing the stiffness of the strut so as to reduce a risk of dynamic rollover.
