  • Publication number: 20190186203
    Abstract: A ground rod and guy stake extractor according to the present approach overcomes many deficiencies of contemporary methods, and allows for the rapid extraction of ground rods and guy stakes across a full range of environments, and at a wide range of extraction angles, with a straight pull on the item being extracted. Embodiments may be lightweight, easily transported, and operated by a single individual. Embodiments may include a winch, winch cable system, and support structure. The geometry is such that it is easy and straight forward to align the direction of pull with any rod or ground stake, and particularly for those driven into the ground within the commonly prescribed angular limits, thus assuring a continuous, steady pull of at least four feet in most embodiments. Guy stakes can therefore be easily extracted in one step, and typically ground rods (because of their length) in two steps.

  • Patent number: 9904449
    Abstract: A mobility device profile generation system for producing a control profile for operating a mobility device. A system processor displays profile data stored in memory on a display device in the form of a graphical representation depicting a relationship between at least two variables associated with operating the mobility device. Using a human input device a user may interactively adjust the graphical representation to calibrate the relationship between the at least two variables to produce a control profile that limits the range of operation of a controller of a mobility device according to the graphical representation. This control profile may be loaded into a controller of a mobility device to limit operation according to the profile.

  • Patent number: 9393165
    Abstract: A method and system for calibrating a control profile of a controller having at least one output variable used to control the operation of a mobility device. The calibration system controls the mobility device according to a prescribed routine under a range of changes of values of the output variable. One or more sensors provided, either temporarily or permanently, on the mobility device sense operational parameters of the mobility device and send sensed data to the calibration system. The calibration system determines mobility device stability associated with the changes of the at least one output variable based on the sensed data and produces a control profile that restricts a controller from outputting changes of values of the output variable associated with mobility device instability.
