  • Publication number: 20240060276
    Abstract: A controller may monitor a plurality of operations performed using one or more implements of the work machine. The controller may determine that the work machine is performing a particular operation based on monitoring the plurality of operations. The controller may obtain, based on information regarding the particular operation, camera view information, from a data structure, indicating that the particular operation is associated with a particular camera of a plurality of cameras of the work machine. Each camera, of the plurality of cameras, may capture a respective view of a plurality of views of the work machine. The controller may determine, based on the camera view information, that a bandwidth associated with a video stream, of a particular view of the work machine captured by the particular camera, is to be increased. The controller may increase the bandwidth associated with the video stream provided by the particular camera based on determining that the bandwidth is to be increased.

  • Patent number: 11620279
    Abstract: Methods and systems for an extensible, universal ledger. One of the methods includes receiving at a journal manager engine a register transaction type request for a first transaction type, the journal manager engine reading and writing to a journal that stores a history of object state and of code by which object state is changed, wherein the register transaction type request is based at least in part on a template and specifies at least one action that can be performed as part of the first transaction type; writing the transaction type request to the journal including an operation definition for the first transaction type; receiving a transaction request of the first transaction type; obtaining the operation definition from the journal; executing an operation in response to the transaction request to produce a transaction result; and recording the transaction result in the journal.

  • Patent number: 11120504
    Abstract: Methods and systems for storing multiple asset types with embedded rules to simplify storage and enable simple and friction-free transactions. One of the methods includes: representing a plurality of asset types using a plurality of standard asset ownership units, each standard asset ownership unit representing a specific asset type; using a roll-up node configured to group specified standard asset ownership units; embedding standard asset unit ownership rules in each standard asset ownership unit, the standard asset ownership unit rules describing permitted behaviors for a specified asset type; embedding roll-up rules in the roll-up node, the roll-up rules including specification of which standard asset ownership units are grouped into the roll-up node, the standard asset ownership unit rules and the role-up rules being based on rules templates; receiving a request for information; and in response to the request, providing information based at least in part on data from the roll-up node.

  • Patent number: 10567746
    Abstract: A calibration jig for calibrating an image capturing device mounted on a machine is provided. A second rope is connected to a first rope at a first connection point. A third rope is connected to the first rope and the second rope at a second connection point and a third connection point respectively. The first, second, and third ropes, when taut, define the calibration triangle with the first, second, and the third connection points as vertices of the calibration triangle. A center rope is connected to the first connection point with a first anchor point associated with the machine. A first tether rope is connected to the second connection point of the calibration triangle with a second anchor point associated with the machine. A second tether rope is connected to the third connection point of the calibration triangle with a third anchor point associated with the machine.
