  • Low temperature curing coating composition containing sag control agent and use thereof
    Patent number: 10544326
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a coating composition for producing coatings sag-free at high coating thicknesses, being quick dry and having good appearance. This disclosure is further directed to a coating composition comprising a crosslinking activator comprising: a) one or more alkylated melamines that are essentially unreactive to a polyisocyanate, and b) a polyurea sag control agent formed by reacting an amine and an isocyanate in the presence of the alkylated melamines. The coating composition can be used to form coating layers having a sag-free wet coating thickness in a range of from 10 to 36 mil (about 0.25 to 0.91 mm). The coating composition can be particularly suitable for vehicle coatings.

  • Methods for creating merged triple windrows
    Patent number: 10542674
    Abstract: In one aspect, a method for creating merged triple windrows within a field may include performing a first cutting pass across a first triple windrow set of the field in a first harvesting direction so as to sever materials from the ground and deposit the severed materials within a first cut strip to form a first deposit of severed materials. The method may also include performing a second cutting pass across a second triple windrow set of the field subsequent to the first cutting pass in a second harvesting direction opposite the first harvesting direction so as to sever materials from the ground and deposit the severed materials within a second cut strip to form a first separate deposit of severed materials. Moreover, the method may include performing subsequent cutting passes across the first triple windrow set to create a merged triple windrow within the first cut strip.

  • Model for determining drop-off spot at delivery location
    Patent number: 10545500
    Abstract: An example system includes a delivery vehicle, a sensor connected to the delivery vehicle, and a control system that determines a delivery destination for an object. The control system receives sensor data representing a physical environment of at least a portion of the delivery destination and determines a drop-off spot for the object within the delivery destination by way of an artificial neural network (ANN). The ANN is trained to determine the drop-off spot based on previously-designated drop-off spots within corresponding delivery destinations and includes an input node that receives the sensor data, hidden nodes connected to the input node, and an output node connected to the hidden nodes that provides data indicative of a location of the drop-off spot. The control system additionally causes the delivery vehicle to move to and place the object at the drop-off spot.

  • Blind slide-mount fastener alignment apparatus, kit and method
    Patent number: 10543593
    Abstract: A marking apparatus and its method of use facilitate blind slide-mounting of an object to a mounting surface in a desired alignment using the object as an alignment template. The apparatus includes a post element, a retention element, a tightening element and a cover. The retention element is movable against resilient bias to allow the apparatus to capture a mounting slot in the object. The resilient bias moves the retention element to a gripping position, and the cover can be rotated so as to cause the tightening element to secure the grip of the apparatus to the object. When the object is aligned with and pushed toward the mounting surface, the cover moves against an elastic bias to allow a marking end of the apparatus to contact the mounting surface so as mark the appropriate location for installation of a fastener to supportingly engage the slide-mount slot of the object.
