Abstract: A controller may obtain measurement information for measuring a property of a soil of a job site. The controller may measure the property of the soil based on obtaining the measurement information. The controller may compare the measured property of the soil and a target property of the soil. The controller may generate one or more instructions that cause one or more other machines to perform one or more actions with respect to the soil. The one or more instructions may be generated based on comparing the measured property of the soil and the target property. The controller may provide the one or more instructions to the one or more other machines to cause the one or more machines to perform the one or more actions to adjust.

Abstract: A scraper used with a compactor wheel assembly includes an attachment portion, a scraping portion that forms a first oblique angle with the attachment portion, and a transition portion connecting the scraping portion to the attachment portion. The transition portion defines a stress concentrator for allowing the scraper to break before any structure to which the scraper is attached is damaged.

Abstract: A distributor device for solids-laden fluids comprises a distributor housing having a housing underside and a housing topside opposite the housing underside which define an interior space that is subdivided into a fluid space into which the inlet port opens and a ventilation space separate therefrom into which the ventilation port opens. A plurality of outlet ports, an inlet port in the distributor housing, a ventilation port disposed in the housing topside of the distributor housing, and a distributor unit are also included. The distributor unit is movable relative to the distributor housing and disposed inside the distributor housing, and connects each of the outlet ports in fluid communication with the fluid space and with the ventilation space in alternating succession. Relative movement of the distributor unit connects an outlet port of the plurality of outlet ports alternately with the fluid space and the ventilation space.

A plurality of outlet ports, an inlet port in the distributor housing, a ventilation port disposed in the housing topside of the distributor housing, and a distributor unit are also included. The disributor unit is movable relative the distributor housing and disposed inside the distributor housing, and connects each of the outlet ports in fluid communication with the fluid space and with the ventilation space in alternating succession. Relative movement of the distributor unit connects an outlet port of the plurality of outlet ports alternately with the fluid space and the ventilation space.
