Abstract: A robot includes a mobile base, a turntable rotatably coupled to the mobile base, a robotic arm operatively coupled to the turntable, and at least one directional sensor. An orientation of the at least one directional sensor is independently controllable. A method of controlling a robotic arm includes controlling a state of a mobile base and controlling a state of a robotic arm coupled to the mobile base, based, at least in part, on the state of the mobile base.

Abstract: A cap bracket and spacer for connecting a ground engaging tool to a mounting bar of a cultivator is provided. The cap bracket can include a first member having a first side and a second side, and a second member having a first side and a second side. The second member can be joined at the second side to the second side of the first member with a peak formed where the second side of the first member is joined at the second side of the second member and a first extended portion can be provided on a first end of the cap bracket at the peak. The spacer can include a first connection flange, a second connection flange, and a spacer member extending upwards from the first connection flange and the second connection flange to define a contact surface.

Abstract: A cultivator is provided having a tool frame, a mounting bar provided below the tool frame, and a plurality of ground engaging tools connected to and extending below the mounting bar. The mounting bar can be connected to the tool frame by a plurality of mounting brackets and at least one adjustment mounting bracket. The mounting brackets allowing the mounting bar to be moved laterally relative to the tool frame and the at least one adjustment mounting bar allowing for the lateral adjustment of the mounting bar and ground engaging tools relative to the tool frame.

Abstract: A cultivator is provided. The cultivator can have a main frame having a front end and a back end, a hitch assembly connected to the front end of the main frame, a tilling section attached to the back end of the main frame, a pair of main ground wheels, a first wing ground wheel and a second wing ground wheel, a plurality of ground engaging tools connected to and extending below the tilling section.

Abstract: A weatherization system for a wellhead methane emission reduction system is described. The weatherization system reduces green-house gas emission into the atmosphere and reduces the effects of weather on the methane emission reduction system. The weatherization system includes a stack assembly connected to a housing of the reduction system by a housing adapter. The stack assembly includes a stack adapter and a stack cover, which collectively helps protect the methane emission reduction system and prevents weather or atmospheric factors from entering the housing. The weatherization system may include one or more sensors for measuring the effects of weather or degradation of at least one of the weatherization system and the methane emission reduction system.

Abstract: An apparatus for dampening standing wave pattern generation in a closed cavity of a microwave oven, includes a fluid table having an enclosure made of a microwave energy transparent material, such as plastic, and a structure, such as top flat platform held in place by the enclosure, for defining a processing surface for placement thereupon of samples to be processed, and a quantity of dielectric fluid contained by the enclosure so as to provide a large flat surface of the dielectric fluid beneath the flat platform and thus below the processing surface. The apparatus also includes mechanisms for recirculating the dielectric fluid to and from the enclosure and for cooling the dielectric fluid to maintain the dielectric fluid within a given narrow range of temperatures.
