  • Patent number: 11702887
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for leveling a borehole or blasthole drilling machine, or portion thereof, provided over a drilling site can implement a ground contact detect phase or operation, a first coarse leveling phase or operation, a lowering phase or operation, and a fine leveling phase or operation. The phases or operations can be based on or responsive to signals from sensors of the drilling machine. The phases or operations can involve changing length of one or more of the jacks of the drilling machine when the drilling machine is positioned over the drilling site.

  • Patent number: 11661835
    Abstract: An advanced real-time drilling control system can comprise circuitry configured to continuously monitor, in real time, drilling performance of an electric drilling machine as the electric drilling machine drills a blasthole using a rotary tricone drill bit. The continuous monitoring can include continuously collecting, according to a predetermined sampling rate, drill performance data from one or more sensors of the electric drilling machine in real time. The circuitry can also be configured to adjust, in real time, pulldown pressure/rate and rotary speed of the rotary tricone drill bit of the electric drilling machine to optimize penetration rate of the rotary tricone drill bit based on the drill performance data and output of one or more machine learning operations applied to the drill performance data.

  • Patent number: 11307614
    Abstract: System and method for displaying digital content on a display device, including at least one digital content item configured to be displayed on the display device, a service cloud, including a server, first memory, and first processor, configured to store and manage digital content, and an application, configured to run on a computer with second memory, second processor, and user input device, and configured to communicate via the Internet with the display device and service cloud. In response to a signal from the user input device, the application detects a display of a digital content item on the interface, selects the item display from a virtual representation of a digital library on the interface, and moves the item display to a virtual representation of the display device on the interface. The service cloud processor sends the item to the display device.
