Abstract: A technique is provided. The technique includes identifying memory cells, of a set of memory cells to power down, based on a set of priorities for the set of memory cells; powering down the identified memory cells in accordance with the set of priorities, resulting in powered down memory cells; and performing processing in accordance with the powered down memory cells.

Abstract: Stabilizers of an agricultural header can be either, or both, displaceable and deformable in response to engagement with a portion of a crop, such as, for example, a stalk, in a manner that can assist in stabilizing the crop for at least purposes of determining a corresponding cross-sectional size of the crop. Characteristics relating to the displacement or the deformation of the stabilizers can be detected by one or more sensors and communicated to a controller to determine a measured size of the crop. Using the measured size, the controller can determine if the size of the crop corresponds to a current size of a width between deck plates of the header. If the measured size indicates the width is to be adjusted, the controller can selectively operate an actuator that is coupled to at least one of the deck plates to displace at least one deck plate.

Abstract: A method of authenticating a robustly-identifiable system is provided. The method includes causing a processor of a mobile work machine to issue a challenge to a robustly-identifiable sensor module mounted relative to the mobile work machine. The method also includes receiving, by the processor of the mobile work machine, a response from the robustly-identifiable sensor module. The method also includes comparing, with the processor of the mobile work machine, the received response to an expected response to generate a match result. The method also includes selectively initiating trusted operation of the mobile work machine based on the match result.

Abstract: An off-road mobile work machine data capture system includes a robustly-identifiable sensor module having a task sensor that provides a task sensor signal indicative of a task. The system also includes a processor coupled to the robustly-identifiable sensor module that is configured to issue a challenge to the robustly-identifiable sensor module and compare a response from the robustly-identifiable sensor module to an expected response to authenticate the robustly-identifiable sensor module. The processor is further configured to generate an indication of authentication failure if the response from the robustly-identifiable sensor module does not match the expected response.
