  • Publication number: 20230382174
    Abstract: A heavy vehicle and machinery trailer having: (i) a trailer base with wheels and suspension; (ii) a trailer bed supported on the trailer base by the suspension; (iii) loading ramps connected to the trailer bed where the suspension, or other methods such as hydraulically operated landing legs, are adapted to allow an operator to alter the pitch and/or roll angle of the trailer bed relative to the ground surface and wherein where the loading ramps are adapted to have varying lengths such that the ramps can be evenly pitched when they are extended to the ground on a sloped surface. The trailer has a hydraulic system under the control of an electrical controller which is operated by a user. The electrical controller has a preset matrix of safe loading and unloading parameters which it uses to determine whether the sensed state of the trailer is safe for loading or unloading.

  • Publication number: 20230366722
    Abstract: A system of detecting loading and unloading of mobile containers such as grain carts utilizes two low pass filters to determine whether the contents of the container are changing by subtracting one filter signal from the other, and using the sign of the difference. Weighing performance is improved by utilizing accelerometers to compensate for measurement dynamics and non-level orientation. Failure and degradation of weight sensors is detected by testing sensor half bridges. Loading and unloading weights can be tied to specific vehicles by utilizing RF beacons.

  • Publication number: 20230359668
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques, performed by a data processing system, for enabling efficient development of software application programs in a dynamic environment with multiple datasets by generating entries in a dataset catalog to provide a software application program with access to output data dynamically generated by dataflow graphs, the entries associated with respective software application programs developed as dataflow graphs. The techniques include identifying a subgraph, wherein, when the subgraph is executed, the subgraph generates output data by applying one or more data processing operations to data obtained from one or more data sources; creating, in the dataset catalog, a new entry associated with the identified subgraph, the new entry associated with information indicating nodes, links, and configuration parameters of the identified subgraph; and configuring the dataset catalog to enable access to the new entry, in the dataset catalog, associated with the identified subgraph.
