  • Publication number: 20240068188
    Abstract: A reconfigurable material moving attachment for a vehicle includes a blade having a blade working face directed toward a front of the blade; and a coupling mechanism for reversibly mounting the blade to the vehicle. The coupling mechanism includes a first coupling portion fixed to the blade and a second coupling portion attachable to the vehicle. The second coupling portion is releasably interconnectable with the first coupling portion in: (i) a forward pushing configuration, in which the blade working face is directed away from the vehicle for pushing of the blade during forward operation of the vehicle to collect and push material in a material collection space adjacent the blade working face, and (ii) a back-dragging configuration, in which the blade working face is directed toward the vehicle for pulling of the blade during reverse operation of the vehicle to collect and back drag material in the material collection space.

  • Patent number: 9898016
    Abstract: Methods and products are provided for facilitating application of variable-product agrochemicals, such as fertilizer, to an application area, such as a field. The fertilizer or agrochemical may include a single fertilizer or agrochemical type or a mixture. In one embodiment, a fertilizer-application area is divided into application cells, and a fertilizer product is determined for each cell, based on zones of the application area with a similar characteristic, such as topographic wetness index levels. Based on a determined product for each cell, instructions for controlling an agrochemical applicator are automatically generated.

  • Patent number: 8545918
    Abstract: A ham product and method for production thereof described herein separate bone-in hams into smaller pieces. Accordingly, pieces of bone-in ham, even those spirally-sliced, will be available to consumers in smaller portions. Unlike conventional methods, however, the ham product provides three or four pieces of essentially equal size that each have a nearly equal meat-to-bone ratio. Furthermore, when a spiral cut ham is separated into pieces, each piece includes a portion of the femur and retains attachment of the slices to the femur so that the slices stay intact during handling and packaging and so that the pieces retain the natural shape and easy handling desired by consumers.
