Abstract: A grain handling system having an air system is presented that is capable of automatically detecting and clearing a plug in a tube of an air system using a central controller, an air pressure sensor, a dynamic pressure relief valve and a variable frequency drive connected to and controlling a blower motor. When a plug is detected, the central controller stops the flow of grain into the tube and ramps up the output of the blower motor to full capacity. Thereafter, the central controller performs an unplugging routine by opening and closing the dynamic pressure relief valve causing surges of air to impact the plug either breaking up the plug or bumping the plug along the tube until it clears. Once the plug clears, the central controller resumes normal operation.

Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for an acknowledgement process for message transmissions to connectable processing terminals for point-of-sale (POS) devices. A user may engage in a transaction with a merchant at a POS device, such as a purchase of items from a merchant at a physical merchant location and using payment terminals with the POS device. An online transaction processor may provide an acknowledgement process to determine if the payment terminal is online and receiving communications so that the user may view transaction details and complete transaction processing. This may be done through lookup of a previous connection of the payment terminal over a cloud computing system with the transaction processor and transmission of a request for acknowledgement over that connection. If the payment terminal responds with an acknowledgement, the transaction processor may then notify the POS device that data processing may proceed.
