  • Publication number: 20240133464
    Abstract: A hydrostatic transmission control system includes a controller that monitors inputs for shifting a transmission of a tractor to a different range gear; determines if an engine on the tractor is operating in a desired and acceptable shift range based on a sensed speed and a load of the engine, and determines if a hydrostatic transmission on the tractor is operating in a desired and acceptable shift range based on a sensed load and a speed of the hydrostatic transmission. If the controller determines the engine and the hydrostatic transmission are operating in the desired and acceptable shift range, the controller commands an oncoming clutch to ramp up and an off going clutch to ramp down, and synchronizes speeds of the engine and the hydrostatic transmission.

  • Publication number: 20240073036
    Abstract: Techniques are described for embedded device based fingerprint signing and public ledger registering management. A digital fingerprint associated with media content can be identified. An embedded integrated circuit (IC) of the computing device can be utilized to store security data associated with the media content. The security data can include at least one digital certificate. The at least one digital certificate can include a device certificate utilized to generate a cryptographic signature associated with the metadata and the digital fingerprint. A file can be generated and registered with a public ledger. The file can include the digital fingerprint, the metadata, the at least one certificate, and the cryptographic signature.

  • Publication number: 20230292012
    Abstract: With the assistance of a cloud server, a user device is operative to adjust and optimize lighting of a video of a participant in a virtual meeting with use of a selected display configuration. The selected display configuration may be a selected from one of a plurality of display configurations (e.g., a user display, a plurality of displays connected at the user device, the user display and an alternate display of a laptop or a tablet, etc.). The user device may receive, from the cloud server, baseline lighting setting parameters associated with the selected display configuration. The user device may apply the baseline lighting setting parameters to one or more displays of the selected display configuration. Using the baseline lighting setting parameters as a baseline, the user device may automatically adjust a brightness and/or color pixels of the one or more displays of the selected display configuration.

  • Patent number: 11625892
    Abstract: One embodiment provides a user interface (UI) that permits users to select how point cloud colorings determined from multiple data sources are blended together in a rendering of a point cloud. The data sources may include photographic, label, and/or LIDAR intensity data. To improve frame rates, an aggregated point cloud may be generated using a spatial hash of a large set of points and sampling of each hash bucket based on the number of points therein and a user-configurable density. Sizes of points in the point cloud may decrease proportionally to distance from a viewer, but increase based on an activation function that enlarges points greater than a threshold distance from the viewer. In addition, luminance statistics for sub-regions of photographic data and dominant colors determined from photographic data may be used to automatically determine color properties to apply to a point cloud coloring.

  • Patent number: 11308364
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for evaluating labeled data. The technique includes selecting, from a set of labels for a data sample, a subset of the labels representing non-outliers in a distribution of values in the set of labels. The technique also includes aggregating the subset of the labels into a benchmark for the data sample. The technique further includes generating, based on a comparison between the benchmark and an additional label, a benchmark score associated with the data sample, and generating a set of performance metrics for labeling the data sample based on the benchmark score.

  • Publication number: 20210274715
    Abstract: A net wrap recovery device that removes net wrap from large round bales of hay attached to commercial hay bale unrollers using one or more pins. The Net Wrap Removal Device mechanically automates the unwrapping of polymeric hay bale wrapping from a wrapped hay bale in one piece quickly and with a minimum of effort. The embodiments then allow the operator to simultaneously gather and store the net wrap on a disposable spool without dismounting from the tractor seat or leaving the operator station. The disposable spool can then be easily removed from the embodiments and disposed of in a safe and environmentally friendly manner. A new spool is then quickly and easily installed in its place.

  • Patent number: 10352245
    Abstract: A windage shield system is provided. The system includes an annular cavity having an inlet end and an outlet end. The annular cavity is configured to direct a flow of cooling fluid from the inlet end to the outlet end. The system also includes a source of a flow of cooling fluid coupled in flow communication with the annular cavity. The annular cavity is bounded by a stationary component and a rotating component, and the rotating component introduces heat into the annular cavity by windage effects. The system also includes a cooling channel coupled in flow communication with the outlet end, and a first windage shield extending from the outlet end towards the inlet end within the annular cavity.
