Patent number: 12144337Abstract: A semi-active suspension system includes a suspension element having a damping coefficient range. The suspension element optionally includes an implement end and a chassis end. The semi-active suspension system includes a suspension control circuit in communication with the suspension element. The suspension control circuit optionally includes a kinematic assessment circuit in communication with one or more sensors. The kinematic assessment circuit is configured to measure or determine kinematic characteristics of one or more of the agricultural implement and the chassis. The suspension control circuit optionally includes a damping control circuit, and the damping control circuit generates a specified damping characteristic based on the measured or determined kinematic characteristics. The damping control circuit optionally directs the suspension element to operate within the damping coefficient range based on the specified damping characteristic.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2023Date of Patent: November 19, 2024Assignee: Raven Industries, Inc.Inventors: Alex Weidenbach, Jesse Lee Wagers, John D.

Publication number: 20240307911Abstract: A modulating nozzle assembly for use with an agricultural sprayer includes a nozzle base having a base edge. A spray modulating element, such as a shuttle, is movably coupled with the nozzle base. The shuttle includes a shuttle edge. A spray port is between the nozzle base and the shuttle. The spray port includes a spray port profile, and the spray port profile is formed by the base edge and the shuttle edge. A modulation actuator is coupled with the shuttle, the modulation actuator is configured to move one or more of the shuttle edge or the base edge relative to the other of the base edge or the shuttle edge to control the spray port profile.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2024Publication date: September 19, 2024Inventors: Jared Ernest Kocer, Jesse Lee Wagers, Richard Peter Muffett, Jack Michael Smart, Demetris Stylianou

Publication number: 20240109094Abstract: An agricultural sprayer cleaning assembly includes a cleaning agent reservoir configured to contain a cleaning agent. The agricultural sprayer cleaning assembly includes a cleaning configuration. In an application configuration a boom tube and sprayer nozzles are in communication with an agricultural product reservoir and are isolated from the cleaning agent reservoir. In a cleaning configuration one or more of the boom tube, the sprayer nozzles or the agricultural product reservoir are in communication with the cleaning agent reservoir, and the cleaning agent is circulated through the boom tube.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Nicholas O. Michael, Jared Ernest Kocer, Jesse Lee Wagers

Patent number: 9580256Abstract: This application discusses, among other things, granular spreaders. In an example, a granular spreader can include a blower configured to provide a flow of air, a metering device configured to provide a flow of granular material to the flow of air to provide a hybrid flow of air and granular material, a plurality of sections configured to release the granular material using the flow of air, wherein each section is configured to release an adjustable portion of the hybrid flow and a controller. The controller can be configured to receive control information for each section, to enable or disable each section responsive to the control information, and to adjust a speed of the blower based on the control information.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2014Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: Raven Industries, Inc.Inventors: Jesse Lee Wagers, Jared Ernest Kocer, Nicholas O.
