Abstract: A job at a worksite can be performed by machines that deliver material from a loading area to various drop points at the worksite. A computing system can generate machine instructions that cause machines to arrive at the loading area at staggered arrival times that are separated by at least an arrival time separation threshold. The computing system can also adjust the arrival time separation threshold over time, for instance due to changes to durations of time for individual machines to perform operations within the loading area autonomously or based on operator input.

Abstract: An electric grill comprises a heating platform, side walls, and grill bars spaced above the heating platform, together defining a heating chamber. The heating platform is heated electrically. A first air supply delivers pressurised air evenly across the heating platform from a central location. A second air supply directs airflow along the side walls to create a vortex of air flowing around the first air supply. The forced airflow provides for fuller combustion of fats and oils from foodstuffs being cooked so that no fat tray is required.

Abstract: A controller may configure the machine to operate in a plurality of modes including a manned control mode, a remote control mode, and an autonomous control mode. The controller may receive a request to cause the machine to perform an action; and determine a requested mode of operation of the machine associated with the request. The requested mode of operation may be one of the plurality of modes. The controller may selectively deny the request or enable the machine to perform the action based on a priority assigned to a current mode of operation of the machine and a priority assigned to the requested mode of operation.

Abstract: A remote control station includes an operator interface for remotely controlling at least one work operation. The operator interface includes at least one control device and an indication system having a first symbol associated with a plurality of control patterns of the at least one control device. The operator interface further includes a display device configured to display a plurality of control patterns thereon. Each of the plurality of control patterns includes a second symbol substantially similar to the first symbol. The remote control station also includes a controller configured to store the plurality of control patterns associated with the at least one control device. The controller is configured to receive an input signal from the operator interface for activation of one of the plurality of control patterns and transmit an output signal for performing the at least one work operation.

Abstract: A method for remote operation of machines using a mobile device is disclosed. The mobile device may detect and display one or more machines. The mobile device may establish a wireless connection with a machine. The mobile device may retrieve and display machine related information including one or more machine parameters, one or more implements, and one or more controls of the machine. In addition, the mobile device may transmit input commands received from an operator via the controls to the machine. The machine may be configured to establish the wireless connection with the mobile device and broadcast machine related information to the mobile device. The machine may also execute the input commands received from the mobile device and perform one or more functions. The method includes steps performed by the mobile device and the machine for the remote operation respectively.

Abstract: Cooking apparatus for cooking food by a barbecue grilling method, comprises an outer housing receiving an inner housing which defines a heating volume. A chamber for pressurised air is defined between the outer and inner housings. Apertures in the inner housing allow pressurised air to exit the chamber into the heating volume. At least one burner is located in the inner housing. A combustible fuel/air mixture is supplied to the burner and this is separate from the supply of pressurised air to the chamber. A cooking surface is placed across the top of the heating volume to support food to be cooked.
