  • Patent number: 12622361
    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.

  • Publication number: 20260091700
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to real-time electric vehicle charging detection using edge computing. An edge device can receive a time series of aggregated current waveform measurements at the site and determine, based on the measurements, a magnitude of one or more harmonics and a metric. The edge device can generate, based on a baseline for the site, a feature vector based on the magnitude of the one or more harmonics and the metric and determine, using a machine learning model, a probability that an EV is charged at the site during a time window of the measurements. The edge device can transmit, based on a comparison of the probability with a threshold, a notification to cause a remote data processing system to execute an operation related to distribution of electricity via the distribution grid.

  • Publication number: 20260078601
    Abstract: The invention comprises a post having a pole (1), a rigid sleeve (2) that has at least two inwardly extending locking 2024/054121 nodes (4a, 4b) and a screw fastener (3). The post is such that a base portion of the pole (1) is lodged within the ground and the pole cantilevers upright. The sleeve (2) extends around and covers at least most of the portion of the post that is cantilevered. The fastener (3) exerts pressure on the pole (1) to cause at least two substantially planar contact surfaces (5a, 5b) of the pole (1) to wedge between the nodes (4a, 4b) to prevent the post (1) from rotating with respect to the sleeve (2).

  • Publication number: 20250388963
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to the use of linear nucleic acid primers for the amplification of a target nucleic acid sequence, for example, in a cell-free environment. In some embodiments, compositions of the linear nucleic acid primers are provided. For example, in some embodiments, the linear nucleic acid primers comprise a guanosine or a cytidine at 3? terminal end. In some embodiments, the linear nucleic acid primers have been optimized to prevent primer-homodimer and/or hairpin formation and to exclude cumbersome codon sequences. In some embodiments, methods are provided for the amplification of a DNA template fragment using the linear nucleic acid primers. Thus, in some cases, the use of the nucleic acid primers, as described herein, may allow for the reduction in amplification of non-specific hybridization events while allowing for the amplification of the target nucleic acid sequence.

  • Publication number: 20250385545
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to the dispatch of distributed energy resources (DER). A DER control device can be located at a site connected with an electricity distribution grid. The DER control device receives, from a data processing system of the electricity distribution grid that is remote from the DER control device, an operational constraint. The DER control device generates, for a time interval, trajectories for characteristics of electricity at the site based on the operational constraint and bounds for local power quality at the site. The DER control device detects, in real-time during the time interval, a condition related to the characteristics of electricity. The DER control device controls, in real-time and responsive to the detection, during the time interval, delivery of power from one or more DERs based on i) one or more of the trajectories, ii) the detected condition, and iii) the bounds for local power quality.
