  • Patent number: 11933880
    Abstract: An implement for use with an excavator includes a lightweight housing, a first coupling feature, a ground penetrating radar antenna, a controller, a wireless communication circuit and a rotation unit. The lightweight housing has an upper surface, a lower surface and a cavity. The first coupling feature is located on the upper surface and cooperates with a second coupling feature on an excavator arm. The ground penetrating radar antenna is mounted near the lower surface. The controller is mounted within the cavity and provides outgoing signals to the radar antenna, receives incoming signals from the radar antenna and interprets the incoming signals so as to provide implement output information. The wireless communication circuit is mounted within the cavity and transmits the implement output information. The rotation unit is mounted within the cavity and rotates the housing vis-à-vis the excavator arm.

  • Patent number: 10367411
    Abstract: A power factor correction device for providing tolerance to a fault condition in an input supply can include a first boost circuit, a second boost circuit, and a controller circuit. The controller circuit can interleave operation of the first boost circuit and operation of the second boost circuit such as to generate an output voltage when the input supply is received at the power factor correction device. The controller circuit can route, in response to the fault condition, a stored supply of the second boost circuit to an input of the first boost circuit. The controller circuit can control the first boost circuit to maintain the output voltage.
