  • Publication number: 20260131727
    Abstract: A perception system for a work vehicle includes a sensor pod having multiple monocular imaging devices with second and third imaging devices being disposed intermediate first and fourth imaging devices. A controller receives multiple two-dimensional images from the imaging devices and develops a first three-dimensional image from first and the third two-dimensional images, a second three-dimensional image from second and the fourth two-dimensional images, and a third three-dimensional image from second and the third two-dimensional images. The controller analyzes the three-dimensional images to determine the presence of an object in a path of the work vehicle within a predetermined distance and generates an alert.

  • Patent number: 10800298
    Abstract: A seat suspension system that includes a seat base that enables movement of the seat horizontally; and a lateral attenuation system that when activated, dampens movement of the seat horizontally. The seat base can move along first and second horizontal axes that are orthogonal. The seat base can include a carrier casting moveable along the first horizontal axis relative to a reservoir casting, and a seat casting moveable along the second horizontal axis relative to the carrier casting. The castings can move on rails. The lateral attenuation system can include an actuation mechanism, a stopper, and a connector that couples the actuation mechanism and stopper to the seat base. When the actuation mechanism is activated, the stopper can connect the reservoir and seat castings. The lateral attenuation system can be configured to stop movement of the seat along the first and second horizontal axes at any desired position.
