Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to ingest data objects from a flat file server for use in one or more system operations including providing a renderable data object to a user and updating a data item database. As described, the ingestion system includes an ingestion module, a flat file module, a compliance module, and a deduplication module wherein the modules together ingest a flat file data object, parse and process a renderable data object from the flat file data object, and store the renderable data object in a renderable object database.

Abstract: In a computer-implemented method, alert responsiveness data indicating how responsive a driver is to one or more types of vehicle alerts is received. The method also includes generating or modifying a driver profile associated with the driver, the driver profile including alert responsiveness profile information based upon the alert responsiveness data, and identifying, based at least upon the generated or modified driver profile, a suggested vehicle type. Identifying the suggested vehicle type includes determining that the generated or modified driver profile meets a set of one or more matching criteria associated with the suggested vehicle type at least in part by determining that the alert responsiveness profile information meets one or more criteria indicative of reliability of the suggested vehicle type. The method also includes causing an indication of the suggested vehicle type to be displayed to a user.

Abstract: Methods and systems for analyzing vehicle operation data associated with a temporary or periodic usage of a vehicle by a driver. In aspects, the vehicle operation data may be analyzed to assess a performance of the driver during operation of the vehicle. Based on the performance of the driver, the driver may qualify for a reward.

Abstract: A vehicle is provided including an electronic power steering system, an electronic throttle control system, and a stability control system.

Abstract: An extractor fan assembly for an extractor of a sugarcane harvester comprises a motor, fan blades, and a clamshell hub. The motor comprises an output that rotates about an axis of rotation. The clamshell hub comprises a base and clamp jaws. The base is coupled to the output for rotation therewith about the axis of rotation. The clamp jaws are positioned angularly about the axis of rotation. Each clamp jaw is fastened to and cooperates with the base to clamp a respective fan blade of the fan blades therebetween to position the fan blades angularly about the axis of rotation.

Abstract: An extractor for a sugarcane harvester that chops stalks of sugarcane into billets. The extractor comprises a fan, a leaf shredder, and a hub. The fan comprises fan blades to induce a flow of air to separate leaves from billets. The leaf shredder comprises shredding blades to cut leaves prior to their ejection from the extractor. The hub is rotatably driven about an axis of rotation. The fan blades and the cutting blades are coupled to the hub for rotation together with the hub about the axis of rotation.

Abstract: An inflatable putting green apparatus includes a putting playfield that is selectively inflated or deflated. The putting playfield is inflated by forcing air into the putting playfield and deflated when the air is released from the putting playfield. The putting playfield includes an upper surface having a well positioned therein for receiving a golf ball. The putting playfield is flexible and is rolled up when the putting playfield is not inflated to allow for easy transportation thereof.

Abstract: A system and method of using a blower device to maintain an inflatable carnival attraction at a level of inflation safe for using the inflatable attraction, wherein the blower device operates on electrical energy received from an external source, monitoring the electrical energy, and triggering an alarm if the electrical energy is insufficient for the blower device to maintain the level of inflation safe for using the inflatable attraction, wherein the alarm is of sufficient loudness to be heard by personnel operating the attraction at a location distant from the blower device.
