Abstract: A controller for a work machine may cause increasing of an angle of a ground-engaging implement of the work machine while maintaining a distance between a trailing edge of the ground-engaging implement and a center line of the work machine. The controller may detect that the work machine has traveled a particular distance from a location of the work machine at a time of increasing of the angle of the ground-engaging implement. The controller for the work machine may cause the work machine to steer away from a windrow based on detecting that the work machine has traveled the particular distance.

Abstract: A work machine includes a frame; an engine supported by the frame; a plurality of ground engaging devices supporting the frame and driven by the engine; an operator cabin supported by the frame; a plurality of sensors and input devices configured to provide a plurality of signals; and a control module. The control module is configured to receive the plurality of signals from the plurality of sensors and input devices, determine if any of the plurality of signals is a positive signal, where a positive signal indicates that an operator is present in the machine, indicate an ‘operator present’ status if at least one of the plurality of signals remains positive for a debounce time, and indicate a ‘no operator present’ status if none of the plurality of signals remains positive for a threshold time.

Abstract: A surveying system is provided having a work machine with at least one sensor configured to produce a signal indicative of a longitudinal pitch of the work machine and a lateral roll of the work machine. The work machine additionally includes a locating device configured to determine the location of the work machine, a communicating device configured to communicate over a network, and a controller in communication with the at least one sensor and the locating device. The controller is configured to receive the signals from the at least one sensor, create survey data by linking the signals with the location of the work machine, and communicate the survey data using the communicating device over the network to one or more offboard controllers. At least one offboard controller is configured to compare the survey data to one or more threshold values, calculate variances, and generate a map displaying the variances.

Abstract: An assembly of an alignment tool and a sensing apparatus for non-contact sensing of axial articulation are disclosed. The sensing apparatus includes a first member, and a second member. The first member includes a housing and a non-contact sensor disposed inside a chamber of the housing. The second member includes a base including a side surface, a stem disposed on the base and defining a cavity, first and second supports disposed on the side surface, and a magnet disposed in the cavity. The alignment tool includes a floor, an inner wall, and an outer wall that define a channel. The alignment tool is configured to align the non-contact sensor over the magnet and to provide a gap between the non-contact sensor and the magnet when the channel is disposed between the first and second members.

Abstract: An air reservoir for an air brake system is provided. The air reservoir includes a housing that has a first air chamber, a second air chamber, and a supply air chamber. A first valve is disposed between the supply air chamber and the first air chamber and is configured to allow air to flow from the supply air chamber to the first air chamber. A second valve is disposed between the supply air chamber and the second air chamber and is configured to allow air to flow from the supply air chamber to the second air chamber.
