Abstract: An implement including a work assembly for clearing materials on a ground, the work assembly including an edge and at least one dynamic skid shoe. The implement may have a pair of dynamic skid shoes. The dynamic skid shoe includes a surface contact component for contacting a street surface, a dynamic component operably connected to the surface contact component for providing vertical movement of the surface contact component, and a hydraulic fluid circuit including a pressure providing component fluidily connected to the dynamic component. The implement includes a linkage assembly, wherein the linkage assembly and the dynamic skid shoe operate to provide the edge to be elevated above the ground surface in order to pass over an obstruction encountered by the edge even on uneven surfaces.

Abstract: An implement attaching to a vehicle and having a work assembly and a linkage assembly, the work assembly having an edge commonly used for clearing snow. The work assembly may be for example a bucket on a front end loader. The linkage assembly is formed as a non-parallelogram quadrilateral with four pivot axes. Upper and lower pivot axes attach the linkage assembly to the work assembly. When the vehicle is driven so that the edge strikes an immovable object, the linkage assembly functions so that the lower pivot axis moves in a direction toward the work assembly relative to the upper pivot axis. That is, the quadrilateral linkage assembly functions to lift the edge as a heel of the work assembly remains on the ground such that the work assembly is allowed to tilt up so the edge can ride over the immovable object.

Abstract: A small object detection using meaningful features and generalized histograms includes providing at least one pixilated image. A region of interest is extracted from the pixilated image. A statistogram of the region of interest is generated. The statistogram is searched to determine at least one maximal meaningful interval of the region of interest. The maximal meaningful interval is output in a tangible medium.

Abstract: A mounting apparatus for a bucket of a front end loader vehicle. The mounting system allows the bucket to pivot up and over fixed objects when the leading edge of the bucket strikes an immovable object for the purpose of protecting the loader assembly, vehicle, and operator.
