Abstract: A control system for an off-highway working machine includes a ground engaging propulsion structure for propelling the working machine, a body supported on the ground engaging propulsion structure, a drive arrangement, and a transmission operable to transmit drive to the ground engaging propulsion structure. The control system calculates a travel energy threshold required to enable the working machine to travel to the charging location, and provide an alert based on the travel energy threshold.

Abstract: A control system for an electric working vehicle includes a first component associated with a first rotor and a second component associated with a second rotor. In use, the first rotor is associated with a first noise waveform and the second rotor is associated with a second noise waveform. Furthermore, in use, the vehicle is associated with a resultant noise waveform comprising the first and second noise waveforms. The control system is configured to control an angular position of the first and/or second rotor such that a parameter associated with the resultant noise waveform is optimised. In this manner, the noise performance of the vehicle can be improved.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a hydrogen powered working vehicle. Advantageously, the hydrogen-powered working vehicle of the present disclosure is designed to enable existing chassis designs for diesel-powered working vehicles to be re-purposed for use in hydrogen powered working vehicles while still affording adequate lateral airflow and protection to components of the hydrogen powered working vehicle.

Abstract: Provided is a process, including: obtaining a first training dataset of subject-entity records; training a first machine-learning model on the first training dataset; forming virtual subject-entity records by appending members of a set of candidate action sequences to time-series of at least some of the subject-entity records; forming a second training dataset by labeling the virtual subject-entity records with predictions of the first machine-learning model; and training a second machine-learning model on the second training dataset.

Abstract: A shock absorbing mount assembly for enhancing comfort for a person sitting in a nautical vehicle includes a first panel that is coupled to a seat post in a nautical vehicle. A plurality of shock absorbers is each coupled to the first panel. A second panel is coupled to each of the shock absorbers. Thus, the second panel is urgeable toward the first panel when the shock absorbers are compressed. A seat is coupled to the second panel. Thus, the shock absorbers can absorb shock from waves over which the nautical vehicle is travelling for enhancing comfort for the user.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing a warning including the steps: obtaining data relating to the location of a hazardous object and obtaining data relating to the location of a material handling machine. The computer to compare the location of the material handling machine to the location of the hazardous object and estimates a probability of a hazardous event occurring. If the estimate exceeds a threshold valve, a warning is issued by the computer.
