  • Patent number: 9434236
    Abstract: An HVAC control system for directing the flow of air in a work vehicle's HVAC system responds to the orientation of a rotating seat within the work vehicle's cabin. The seat may rotate between at least two operational positions, such that the operator of the work vehicle may control a forward or a rearward implement. The HVAC control system includes one or more detectors for detecting the position of the seat. A control module receives output from the detectors and allows or prevents the flow of air through particular ducts in the HVAC system based on the seat's position. The control module may actuate one or more doors to open and close ducts as needed. The control module may operate a first door to open or close forward ducts and a second door to open or close rearward ducts depending on whether the seat is facing forward or rearward.

  • Publication number: 20090182802
    Abstract: A mobile device management system is provided. The mobile device management system may include a device management client configured to be executed on a mobile computing device. The device management client may include a client scheduler module configured to contact a device management server via a computer network and download a device management schedule for storage on the mobile computing device. The device management schedule may be generated at the device management server and include one or more schedule items. Each schedule item may include a predefined event and an associated action. The client scheduler module may be configured to monitor the device management schedule, detect the predefined event defined in a schedule item, and perform the associated action associated with the event, to thereby configure software on the mobile computing device.
