Abstract: Methods and apparatus for identity and access management on networked machines are disclosed herein. An example non-transitory machine readable storage medium includes instructions to cause programmable circuitry to at least grant first permission to form a connection between a remote compute device and a local compute device based on a first identity of a first account, the connection to enable the first account to operate the local compute device by impersonating a second user, the second user associated with a second identity, access a request to execute a command on the remote compute device from the first account, and determine, based on the first identity of the first account and the second identity of the second user, whether second permission is to be granted to execute the command.

Abstract: A protective garment system includes a garment base and at least one protective element that is removably engageable with the garment base. In some configurations, a first protective element comprises a plurality of attachment or anchor features that interact with the garment base or another portion of the system to partially or fully engage the first protective element in a removable manner with the garment base. In addition or in the alternative, the protective garment can include a second protective element that is removably engageable with the garment base separately from the first protective element. The protective elements can be a knee cap and a knee pad.

Abstract: A product distribution control system for an agricultural system includes a controller having a memory and a processor. The controller is configured to receive a first signal indicative of a prescription map. The controller is further configured to determine a first parameter associated with operation of an air cart of the agricultural system based at least in part on the prescription map. The controller is further configured to determine at least one of a second parameter associated with operation of a work vehicle of the agricultural system based at least in part on the prescription map, and a third parameter associated with an implement of the agricultural system based at least in part on the prescription map, wherein the implement includes one or more row units.

Abstract: An anti-icing exhaust system for an inlet of a gas turbine engine is provided. The system includes a first housing portion that at least partially defines a chamber to receive an anti-icing fluid and includes a projection. A second housing portion includes a leading edge. The system includes a support structure that couples the first housing portion to the second housing portion such that the projection of the first housing portion is spaced apart from the leading edge of the second housing portion to define a gap. The gap is in fluid communication with a manifold. The support structure defines at least one flow passage in fluid communication with the chamber and the manifold to exhaust the fluid. The system includes an insulation strip having a first end received in the gap and coupled to the leading edge; and a second end coupled to the second housing portion.
