Abstract: A robotic vehicle is provided which can detect the type of a platform, such as a pallet. The robotic vehicle may comprise forks which can be inserted into the platform. The forks of the robotic vehicle comprise at least one sensor arrangement. The sensor arrangement(s) can detect the size and location of the platform elements as the forks are inserted into the platform, enabling the platform type to be determined. The operation of the vehicle can then be controlled in accordance with the platform type.

Abstract: A seat assembly comprises a seat adjuster; and a seat including: a seat bottom connectable to a track assembly; a seatback pivotably connected to the seat bottom; a calf rest pivotably connected to the seat bottom; and a headrest pivotably connected to the seatback. The seat adjuster includes one or more motors and is connected to the seat to adjust the seat to a first seat position and to a second seat position via adjusting the seatback, the calf rest, and the headrest about a plurality of pivot axes.

Abstract: A low-cost fence is essentially free from ground rot. The novel fence post of this invention capitalizes on the structural rigidity of rectangular tubular members. The fence post has a concrete reinforcing rod projecting downwardly into concrete from the tubular member and small-dimensioned lumber bolted to the tubular member and extending upwardly from the other end. This fence post makes it easy to construct a variety of fences, all of which reduce toenailing and nail bracketing by using spanning rails. Long rails span fence posts in a staggered pattern, thereby gaining additional cantilever strength while reducing the number of posts required.
