  • Publication number: 20240132293
    Abstract: A feeding screw machine for feeding a processing screw machine comprises a housing with at least two housing bores formed therein and screw shafts rotatably arranged in the at least two housing bores. The at least two housing bores and the at least two screw shafts define a free volume in a respective cross-sectional plane, which decreases monotonically at least in some regions for continuous compression of a material in a conveying direction.

  • Publication number: 20220067121
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a degree or rate of error for treatments at a field are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a system receives first data corresponding to a first agronomic treatment at a field and second data corresponding to a second agronomic treatment at the field. The system uses the first and second data to determine differences and overlaps between characteristics of the first and second data to quantify an error rate at individual subsets of the field. Based on the quantified error rate, a number of metrics and yield data may be interpreted differently or modified to fit the result of the quantified error rate. The system uses the quantified error rate to predict the effectiveness of treatments, modify the rate of experienced yields at a field, and recommend real-time and subsequent corrective actions to take at the field.

  • Patent number: 11176117
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a server computer receives, over a digital communication network, agricultural data records comprising a plurality of planting and harvesting data values. Each of the planting and harvesting data values include geo-location coordinates and corresponding timestamps. The server generates a plurality of planting datasets by aggregating planting data values based on geo-location coordinates and timestamps. The server generates a plurality of harvesting datasets by aggregating harvesting data values based on geo-location coordinates and timestamps. The server determines a dataset of planting-to-harvesting matching pairs based upon nearest proximities between geo-location coordinates of planting datasets and geo-location coordinates of harvesting datasets. The server determines geo-location error values representing offsets of between geo-locations of corresponding planting-to-harvesting matching pairs. The server presents the geo-location error values on a display screen of a client computer.

  • Patent number: 10899223
    Abstract: A method for testing the tightness of a fuel supply system of a motor vehicle is provided. The fuel supply system includes a volume-changing element provided in the fuel tank, the volume of which volume-changing element is in contact with the environment. The fuel tank is customarily sealed off against the environment by way of a valve unit. For testing the tightness, a differential pressure with respect to environment is generated in the tank by way of a gas conveying device, sequentially and thus not simultaneously, the volume-changing element being sealed off against the environment, and the volume-changing element not being sealed off against the environment, a differential pressure with respect to environmental pressure is generated in the volume-changing element or in the tank.

  • Patent number: 10675967
    Abstract: A tank system of a motor vehicle includes a volume modifying element, having a compensation volume, which is provided in the inner chamber of the fuel tank and which is used to equalize the vapor pressure. The compensation volume is connected to the surrounding area. The only connection between the volume modifying element and the surrounding area is formed by a storage unit of the gaseous fuel components and the inner chamber of the fuel tank is connected to the surrounding area by a valve unit. The valve unit is normally open when filling the fuel tank and when exceeding or falling below the pressure limits in the inner chamber of the tank, and is otherwise closed. The storage unit is connected to the valve unit.
