  • Publication number: 20240096159
    Abstract: A door system includes a corridor sized to allow humans to move through the corridor, the corridor having a first door located at a first end; a second door located at the second end; a controller operatively connected to the first and second doors for controlling the first and second doors; a first sensor oriented to detect an object on the floor, the first sensor operatively connected to the controller and a second sensor oriented to detect an object above the floor in the corridor wherein the second sensor is operatively connected to the controller and the controller is configured to one of: a) turn off the second sensor when the first sensor detects an object on the floor and b) not respond when the second sensor detects and object above the floor when the first sensor detects and object on the floor.

  • Patent number: 9803337
    Abstract: A control system implemented for in-pit crushing and conveying (IPCC) operations employing a shovel machine and a crusher machine is provided. The shovel machine includes an implement configured to excavate a material from a worksite and load the material into a hopper of the crusher machine. The control system includes a position determination module, an excavation determination module, and a path determination module. The path determination module is configured to determine one or more travel paths, with a plurality of loading positions, for the shovel machine and the crusher machine. The plurality of loading positions is based at least in part on the relative position of the shovel machine and the crusher machine and a plurality of excavation positions, such that at each of the plurality of loading positions, the implement traverses an arc passing above the hopper.
