Abstract: An adjustable bladeset for a hair clipper with a clipper housing includes a stationary blade having a stationary toothed end with a plurality of stationary teeth, an opposite stationary base end and an upper surface, and a moving blade having a moving toothed end with a plurality of moving teeth, the moving blade configured for reciprocal transverse movement relative to the stationary blade on the upper surface. The stationary blade is linearly displaceable relative to the moving blade by action of an adjustment lever on the clipper housing. A blade guide is on the upper surface at the stationary base end, and has at least one toothed strip. The adjustment lever is connected to a blade actuator shaft having at least one toothed cog configured to engage the toothed strip so that rotation of the actuator shaft causes the linear displacement of the stationary blade relative to the moving blade.

Abstract: A vehicle control system and method includes a first controller that controls operation of a first vehicle and is operably coupled with a first communication system. A second controller controls operation of a second vehicle and is operably coupled with a second communication system. The first controller determines an orientation of the second vehicle and identifies a type of the second vehicle. The first controller generates a first set of vehicle control signals based on the orientation and the type of the second vehicle. The first communication system communicates the first set of vehicle control signals with the second communication system. The first controller overrides control of the second vehicle by the second controller to control operation of the first vehicle and the second vehicle according to the first set of vehicle control signals.

Abstract: Technologies for monitoring discharged bales or bale position on a baler can be improved by applying processes for identifying radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag location. A bale can include an RFID tag and a baler can include an RFID reader. The RFID reader can interrogate the RFID tag and a computing device of or connected to the RFID reader can identify the location of the RFID tag based on the interrogation. The computing device can determine a position of the bale on the baler based on the identified location of the RFID tag since spatial information of the bale and the baler is known. Also, the computing device can estimate a geographic location of the bale, after it has been discharged from the baler, based on an identified location of the RFID tag and an identified geographic location of the baler during the discharge of the bale.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of determining when a windrow of crop is ready to be baled. A sensor embedded in or passing over the windrow senses a characteristic of the windrow associated with a moisture content of the windrow and generates corresponding sensor data. A processing element analyzes the sensor data to determine whether the windrow is ready to be baled and provides an alert when the windrow is ready to be baled.

Abstract: A method includes storing a test database of tests and corresponding test rules, storing a user information database, storing a profile database, and storing a threshold database including thresholds corresponding to test scores and similarity scores. The method includes, in response to receiving interaction parameters of an interaction performed by a user, identifying a set of tests based on the interaction parameters. The method includes, for each of the set of tests: calculating a score using user data of the user, corresponding test rules, and the interaction parameters; adjusting the score based on the user's profile; obtaining a threshold corresponding to the identified test; and, in response to the score exceeding the threshold, categorizing the interaction within a first category. The method also includes generating and transmitting an alert in response to the interaction being categorized within the first category.
