Publication number: 20240126814Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods of generating a grid pattern display from hierarchical data structures. A system may access a hierarchical data structure comprising a root node, a parent node, and a leaf node. The system may obtain a leaf node size and determine a margin for each cell and each group in the grid pattern to ensure uniform spacing for the leaf nodes in the grid pattern. The system may set presentation layer data based on the determined spacing to generate a set of data elements of the presentation layer. The system may split the set of data elements of the presentation layer based on a size of a display container, the display container being used to display the grid pattern. The system may consume the presentation layer into a display layer to render a grid transformation of the hierarchical data.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Claudio Alberto SOTO, Aravind Kumar RAVINDRAN

Publication number: 20230036576Abstract: Work machines, fertilizer opener assemblies for work machines, and methods of operating work machines are disclosed herein. A work machine includes a chassis, a frame, and a fertilizer opener assembly. The frame is coupled to the chassis for movement relative thereto. The fertilizer opener assembly is coupled to the frame to selectively form trenches in the soil for the deposition of fertilizer. The fertilizer opener assembly includes an actuator that is extendable and retractable to vary a length of the actuator and a cutting implement coupled to the actuator. Operation of the actuator drives movement of the cutting implement between a cutting position, in which the cutting implement makes contact with the soil to form trenches therein, and a transport position, in which the cutting implement is raised above the soil.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2021Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventors: Colter W. Kinney, Carlos Alberto Soto, Bradley A. Wackerle, Randall A. Maro

Patent number: 6995659Abstract: A sound transducer comprises at least one sound unit based on at least one radially sound emitting diaphragm arranged in a substantially cylindrical or tubular form, the diaphragm including electromechanically converting material capable of creating sound by changing its physical state upon electrical excitation. In a single sound unit the diaphragm is arranged to be supported between an inner sound guiding sleeve and an outer sound guiding sleeve in order to form at least one axial acoustic channel between the diaphragm and at least one of the sleeves. At least at the exit side of the acoustic channel the axial ends of the diaphragm and the corresponding sound guiding sleeve are arranged to have mutual non-alignment in the plane perpendicular to the axis of the sound unit in order to reduce the acoustic mass that the acoustic channel represents. The invention further relates to a device with such a transducer.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2003Date of Patent: February 7, 2006Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventor: Alberto Soto-Nicolas
