  • Patent number: 11299085
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for roadway illumination by an industrial vehicle are disclosed. A work light of the industrial vehicle is operated to provide illumination to an area located between a forward end of the industrial vehicle and an area illuminated by a low beam light. The work light and the low beam light are operated together to provide improved illumination during travel of the industrial vehicle along the roadway while promoting visibility of operators of oncoming vehicles.

  • Patent number: 11202410
    Abstract: A crop divider assembly for a harvesting header includes a housing defining an interior cavity and including a forwardmost end. A divider rod has a first end and a second end, where the first end is coupled to the forwardmost end of the housing. A light-emitting mechanism is coupled to the second end of the divider rod. The divider rod extends upwardly from the forwardmost end, and the light-emitting mechanism is positioned at a location above the forwardmost end of the housing.

  • Publication number: 20210332648
    Abstract: Connector configured to prevent inadvertent connection with incompatible components of other connector types are disclosed. For example, connectors included in a multicoupler that may be incompatible with a previous multicoupler design are configured to prevent damage to the connector when a part of the multicoupler containing a portion of the connector is attempted to be mated with a part of an incompatible multi coupler.

  • Publication number: 20200346579
    Abstract: A harvester including a header having a first illumination device positioned on a right outermost arm of the header and a second illumination device positioned on a left outermost arm on the header. The first and second illumination devices each project a spot beam of light in a corresponding direction of travel of the harvester to illuminate a right edge travel path of the right outermost arm and to illuminate a left edge travel path of the left outermost arm. The first and second illumination devices, respectively, are configured to illuminate right and left crop dividers, respectively, mounted on the right and left outermost arms. The harvester may include an auto-steering system to rotate a steering wheel of the harvester to a designated steering angle and to rotate the first and second illumination devices to a first and second angle, respectively, that correspond to the designated steering angle.

  • Patent number: 10763613
    Abstract: A barrier device for an electrical connector is disclosed. In embodiments, the barrier device can comprise a first barrier element interposedly arranged between a substrate and a base assembly of the electrical connector. A second barrier element arranged for mating engagement with an upper surface of the substrate of the electrical connector; the second barrier element comprising a plurality of openings defined by a plurality of protruding structures that are configured and arranged to accommodate electronic components mounted to the upper surface of the substrate. The barrier device is designed such that the collective arrangement and positioning of the first barrier element and the second barrier element relative to substrate forms a thermal protection barrier and damping mechanism around the substrate.
