Abstract: A control stick includes a handle coupled to a base, the handle pivots relative to the base, and a controller system configured to detect an angle and a direction of the handle relative to a neutral position and provide data to a controlled device based on the angle and the direction, wherein the controller system includes a transmitter. The control stick also includes an interactive element coupled to the handle that includes at least three operational configurations. In a first operational configuration, the interactive element is partially toggled and enables the data to be transmitted via the transmitter. In a second operational configuration, the interactive element is toggled shut and blocks the data from being transmitted from the transmitter or sends a default command. In a third operational configuration, the interactive element is toggled open and blocks the data from being transmitted from the transmitter or sends the default command.

Abstract: System and methods are disclosed to promote safe shoving movements of a train based on train position localization without human-based track operations monitoring. Train position detectors deployed at the end of a track, in parallel to the track, between the rails of the track, or a combination thereof, localize an end-of-train during shoving movements. Each train position detector transmits an early warning alert to an onboard alert device and a handheld alert device for indicating the end of the train is about to enter a pre-configured prohibited zone. The locomotive operator receives the alert on the onboard alert device while workers in the railyard receive the alert on the handheld alert devices. Both onboard and handheld alert devices are capable of generating audio, visual, haptic, or a combination of these warning alerts for the locomotive operator and the workers in the railyard.

Abstract: A mismatch detection system comprising a book block assembly line, a plurality of book block sensors, a case cover assembly line, and an infeed sorter. The book block assembly line may be operable to output conforming book blocks and divert nonconforming book blocks. The plurality of book block sensors may be operable to detect a unique identifier (UID) of the nonconforming book blocks diverted by the book block assembly line. The case cover assembly line may be operable to output case covers. The infeed sorter may be operable to receive the conforming book blocks and the case covers, group one book block and once case cover into a pair, detect whether the conforming book block and case cover of the pair match, divert any of the case covers that do not match, and output a matching pair to a book binding device.

Abstract: An agricultural crop baler having a frame, wheels, tailgate, baling chamber, ramp, and an arm attached to the frame and movable between a first position in which the arm extends along a first lateral side of the bale ejection path and does not intersect the bale ejection path, and a second position in which the arm extends along the first lateral side of the bale ejection path and intersects the bale ejection path. The baler also includes an actuator operatively connected between the frame and the arm and configured to move the arm between the first and second positions, and a control system configured to operate the actuator. A method is also provided, in which a baler arm contacts a side of the bale to generate a force on the bale in a direction transverse to the forward direction.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for data management are described. A self-executing program of a blockchain distributed data store may receive a first message that includes indications of a sender address and a first amount of a first crypto token type to be received by a recipient address. The self-executing program may verify based at least in part on execution of the self-executing program, that the first message is validly signed by an operator associated with the self-executing program. The operator may be associated with a custodial token platform that verifies information and signs messages. The self-executing program may broadcast, after verifying that the first message is validly signed, one or more second messages that are configured to transfer the first amount of the first crypto token type to the recipient address.

Abstract: Techniques for universal data transmission to multiple cloud storage platforms are described. A universal data transmission system includes a data integration framework, a set of serializers, a plurality of authenticators, a plurality of transports, and a cloud connection service. The cloud connection service is capable of loading the data from an on-premise device to each of the plurality of cloud storage platforms. The cloud connection service receives a selection of a cloud storage platform for the cloud connection service to load the data and configures a plurality of channels based on the category of the collected data and the selected cloud storage platform to a specific configuration. The cloud connection service selects a specific serializer, a specific authenticator, and a specific transport, which are pluggable to form the transmission route connecting the on-premise device to the selected cloud storage platform.

Abstract: A façade system having moving flappers mounted using a support clip suspension system. A rung is generally triangular in cross-section having a front latitudinal slot, through which a support clip is inserted. The support clip has a pair of parallel arms connecting to each other by a transverse connecting member to be generally U-shaped. The support clip seats within the slot between the outer edge of the cap and the lower lip of the front edge, thus the flapper can be connected to the rung and held therein with the support clips secured within the slot. In the manner the flappers are hung and sway in response to wind to aid in the aesthetics of the façade.

Abstract: An agricultural baler tailgate control system having an actuator operatively connected between the baler frame and tailgate, a pump, and a drive circuit. The drive circuit is reconfigurable between a first configuration in which the drive circuit conveys pressurized fluid by a first fluid path from the pump to the actuator to generate a first actuator drive force to move the tailgate from the closed tailgate position to an intermediate tailgate position, and a second configuration in which the drive circuit conveys the pressurized fluid by a second fluid path from the pump to the actuator to generate a second actuator drive force to move the tailgate from the intermediate tailgate position to a bale release position. The second actuator drive force is different from the first actuator drive force.

Abstract: The train detection system comprises a wireless communication network further comprising train detection modules attached to catenary poles at the entrance and exit of the railyard. Each train detection module is equipped with a plurality of diverse sensors configured to detect trains and other on-track vehicles. The diverse sensors are simultaneously active and work together for detecting an approaching or leaving train. The train detection modules generate train alerts which are transmitted wirelessly over the wireless communication network. Each of the railyard workers wears a personal alert device capable of wirelessly connecting with the train detection modules and receiving the train alerts over the said wireless communication network. The train alert modules are capable of transmitting alerts wirelessly to personal alert devices and other train alert modules. Train alert modules are capable of generating audio visual warnings for any personnel which may not be equipped with personal alert module.
