  • Patent number: 10965019
    Abstract: This invention provides a wireless transceiver device for retrofit conversion of non-wireless enabled electronic controllers and controlled host devices. This invention allows for the rotating of the wireless transceiver device allowing for the entire device to rotate around the connector axis. This functionality allows for the ability to rotate the wireless transceiver device 360 degrees or to any orientation that maximizes the available space around the host device or around the area of permanent or temporary installations of networks of single or multiple controllers and controlled devices. The inclusion of a stop pin washer plate may be combined with a rotation limiting washer to prevent the rotating assembly from moving freely around the 360 degrees of rotation.

  • Patent number: 9779109
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention provide for a user uploading a file and a customized metadata about the file to a file storage system. This information may be forwarded to an application, possibly an API, which may divide the file into a plurality of file chunks if the file is greater than a predetermined file size. One or more tracker servers may check a database to locate optimal file locations for the file or file chunks to be stored within the file storage system. These optimal locations may be returned from the tracker servers to the application/API which may perform an HTTP request to write the file to the file storage system. The file write may be validated and finalized, and the successful write may be displayed to the user on a user interface on a client.

  • Patent number: 8719223
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention provide for a user uploading a file and a customized metadata about the file to a file storage system, and reading the same back upon request. This information may be forwarded to an application, possibly an API, which may divide the file into a plurality of file chunks if the file is greater than a predetermined file size. One or more tracker servers may check a database to locate optimal or current file locations for the file or file chunks to be stored within the file storage system. These optimal or current locations may be returned from the tracker servers to the application/API which may perform an HTTP request to write the file to or read the file from the file storage system. The file write may be validated and finalized, and the successful write or read may be displayed to the user on a user interface on a client.

  • Patent number: 8374755
    Abstract: A control system for a machine is disclosed. The control system may have a power source, an operator input device configured to generate a first signal indicative of a desired mode of power source operation, and a work implement driven by the power source. The control system may also have a controller in communication with the power source and the operator input device. The controller may be configured to classify a currently performed work implement task and select an output map based on the classification of the currently performed work implement task and the first signal. The controller may further be configured to control the power source operation using the output map.

  • Publication number: 20130006688
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for hosting one or more server computers comprising a project management software. The project management software may comprise a first story board comprising one or more stories for a first team. The first story board may be controlled by one or more first story board control panels. The project management software may also comprise a second story board comprising one or more stories for a second team. A sub-story may be created using the one or more first story board control panels. In one embodiment, this sub-story may be inserted into a backlog list for the second story board and an alert may be displayed on the second story board requesting the second team to implement the sub-story from the backlog list into the second story board. In another embodiment, the stories on the second story board may be about, but not used by, a second team.

  • Patent number: 8335618
    Abstract: An automatic shut down system for a machine having an engine and a work implement is disclosed. The automatic shut down system may have a position sensor, which may be associated with the work implement. The position sensor may be configured to generate a position signal indicative of a position of the work implement. The automatic shut down system may also have a controller, which may be in communication with the position sensor. The controller may be configured to shut down the engine, based on the position signal.

  • Patent number: 8260913
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention provide for a user requesting a file or a plurality of file chunks stored in a file storage system, and a customized metadata stored in data storage. One or more tracker servers may determine file locations in the file system, and the location of the customized metadata in the data storage. These locations may be returned to an application, possibly an API, which may determine one or more URLs for the file locations and perform an HTTP request to read the file or file chunks from the locations or URLs in the file system. The file or file chunks, along with the customized metadata, may then be returned and displayed to the user that requested them.
