  • Patent number: 12203800
    Abstract: A system of detecting loading and unloading of mobile containers such as grain carts utilizes two low pass filters to determine whether the contents of the container are changing by subtracting one filter signal from the other, and using the sign of the difference. Weighing performance is improved by utilizing accelerometers to compensate for measurement dynamics and non-level orientation. Failure and degradation of weight sensors is detected by testing sensor half bridges. Loading and unloading weights can be tied to specific vehicles by utilizing RF beacons.

  • Publication number: 20240381065
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a system and method which utilizes the benefits of both advertising and bidirectional connections to allow a client/receiving device to receive data, e.g. sensor measurements, from the source/transmitting device during device discovery and connection, thereby minimizing the amount of time during which data, e.g. measurements, are unavailable. The disclosed embodiments may further allow for reduced power consumption by a source device by minimizing data transmission during advertising.

  • Publication number: 20240311734
    Abstract: Systems and methods for yield prediction for a field using spatial data representing yield throughout the field and multiple measurements of actual yield obtained from field regions during harvesting of the field. A yield model is generated based on the spatial data and the multiple measurements of actual yield. The yield model is used to determine information related to yield in the field.

  • Publication number: 20240060813
    Abstract: A system of improved weighing utilizes accelerometers to compensate for measurement dynamics and non-level sensor orientation. Fill level of remote combines can be estimated by utilizing their historical harvesting performance and elapsed time or area harvested. Failure and degradation of weight sensors is detected by testing sensor half bridges. Loading and unloading weights can be tied to specific vehicles by utilizing RF beacons. Display location diversity is enhanced utilizing a mirror located as necessary while reversing the displayed image.
