  • Patent number: 11731697
    Abstract: A technique for steering a tracked vehicle includes controllably deforming at least a portion of a vehicle's track into a curved shape, causing the vehicle to follow a curve-shaped path as it drives. As the vehicle naturally tends to follow a curved path defined by the track's curvature, steering is accomplished with greatly reduced skidding against the ground.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: August 22, 2023
    Assignee: Howe & Howe Inc.
    Inventors: Michael Howe, Geoffrey Howe
  • Publication number: 20210342418
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods that may be employed for processing data to identify relational clusters, the method including receiving, using at least one processor, prior event data, the prior event data comprising a plurality of fields, the plurality of fields corresponding to a plurality of columns and a plurality of rows; determining, using the at least one processor, column field value correlations between the plurality of fields in the plurality of columns; and determining, using the at least one processor, a first column of the plurality of columns with a column field value correlation beyond a predetermined threshold with a second column of the plurality of columns.

  • Patent number: 10745065
    Abstract: An overland vehicle is provided which includes a chassis with a roll-over protection structure, a powertrain configured to generate power to drive the overland vehicle, a first suspension system configured as a chassis to ground suspension system, and an operator compartment. The vehicle may also include a second suspension system configured to pneumatically suspend the operator compartment within the chassis, where the second suspension system includes a plurality of pneumatic couplers, including at least a first pneumatic coupler suspending the operator compartment to the chassis along a first vector extending in a first direction, and a second countering pneumatic coupler suspending the operator compartment to the chassis along a second vector extending in a second direction, where the second direction is generally opposite the first direction.
