Abstract: A novel connector assembly that allows building a versatile; low-cost plant support structure out of widely used garden stakes is described. Such a plant support structure can easily be reconfigured throughout a plant growing season. Various configurations of this connector element to build an adaptable system suitable for multiple plants are shown.

Abstract: In some implementations, a remote monitoring system may receive historical usage data associated with a plurality of engines that are associated with a plurality of respective machines. The remote monitoring system may train an engine monitoring model to identify a usage profile that indicates potential failure by identifying an operational range of an operating parameter according to an operating profile. The remote monitoring system may receive, from a machine, usage data that includes a measurement of the operating parameter for an engine of the machine, and determine that the engine is configured to operate according to the operating profile. The remote monitoring system may predict, based on determining that the engine is configured to operate according to the operating profile and based on the measurement and the operational range, that the engine is likely to fail within a certain time period.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a wire-routing assembly for routing an injector harness along an inner portion of a valve cover base in an engine. The wire-routing assembly includes a guard, which in turn includes an attachment portion and a routing portion. The attachment portion includes a first end, a second end, and an intermediate section. The first end and the second end of the attachment portion are attached to the inner portion of the valve cover base. The routing portion extends from the intermediate section in a direction substantially perpendicular to the attachment portion. The routing portion defines a clearance space between the routing portion and the inner portion of the valve cover base. At least a portion of the injector harness is routed through the clearance space, such that the routing portion avoids contact between a valve spring and the injector harness.

Abstract: A system for controlling a pressure ratio of an output pressure to an input pressure of a compressor associated with an engine is disclosed. The system includes a controller configured to receive signals indicative of an input pressure associated with a compressor, and receive signals indicative of an output pressure associated with the compressor. The controller is further configured to compare a compressor pressure ratio of the output pressure to the input pressure with a threshold pressure ratio, and control a bypass valve in flow communication with the compressor based on the comparison.
