Abstract: A method for planning a path for a vehicle comprises creating a travel row transparency over a mapped area. The travel row transparency comprises one or more travel rows are split into travel row sections defined by intersecting the travel row with a map object (e.g., a boundary of mapped area). Partition nodes are generated from the travel row sections. The partition nodes or partition edges are linked together to form a potential drivable path consistent with user input and vehicular constrains. An efficient ordering of the partition nodes are determined consistent with the user input. A path is generated by looping through the ordered partition nodes in the determined efficient order.

Abstract: A system and method for determining a path plan for a vehicle includes organizing a work area into partition areas based on at least one of an obstacle, a concavity, and an exclusion area associated with a work area. An external cost indicator is established for indicating the economic cost corresponding to the vehicle traversing from one partition area to another partition area for each possible permutation or potential combination of successive partition areas. The established external cost indicators are searched to determine a preferential order of traversing the partition areas. A preferential path plan is determined based on the internal path plan of each partition and a transfer path plan of transferring from a prior partition to a latter partition until each partition in the work area is traversed.

Abstract: A border of a designated area is defined within a work area. A designated axis is determined for the designated area. A series of generally parallel rows are aligned consistent with a travel axis having a known alignment with respect to the designated axis. One of the generally parallel rows is aligned as a starting row. The vehicle is pointed in a starting direction along or generally parallel to the travel axis. The vehicle engages in a turn path segment after an end of the starting row to move the vehicle at least somewhat perpendicular to the travel axis between the starting row and a next row. A turn path segment has a turn radius greater than or equal to a minimum turning radius of the vehicle, where the starting row and the next row are spatially separated by a multiple of effective vehicular implement widths less an overlap allowance. The turn path segment is defined so as to skip one or more intervening parallel rows between the starting row and the next row.

Abstract: Methods for reducing non-target retention of active moieties associated with immunoconjugates and their metabolites, and more specifically, for reducing renal retention of such active moieties, are disclosed. Methods of the present invention comprise administering an effective amount of a non-target reduction moiety, such as lysine, in addition to a therapeutically or diagnostically effective amount of an immunoconjugate. The non-target reduction moiety localizes in the kidneys and inhibits renal retention and reabsorption of active moieties associated with immunoconjugates and their metabolites.
