  • Publication number: 20250259489
    Abstract: A method for outputting steering state information to a driver of an agricultural tractor includes transmitting via a data interface information including a fitted tire, a tire inflation pressure, an axle load, and a speed to a control unit, checking via the control unit whether as a first triggering condition, the speed exceeds a limit value provided for emergency steering operation, the limit value being given according to the fitted tire, the tire inflation pressure, and the axle load, and as a second triggering condition, the tire inflation pressure is below a limit value provided for the emergency steering operation, the limit value being specified according to the fitted tire, the speed, and the axle load, and activating a user interface via the control unit to output steering state information indicating a critical steering state when at least one of the first and second triggering conditions is met.

  • Patent number: 6599561
    Abstract: An inexpensive and high throughput process for manufacturing a printed circuit board (PCB) substrate includes first weaving a plurality of electrically non-conductive strands (e.g., fiberglass yarns) and at least one electrically conductive strand (e.g., a copper wire) to form a woven fabric with an upper surface and a lower surface. Next, the woven fabric is impregnated with a resin material to form an impregnated fabric, which is then cured to form a cured fabric. The upper and lower surfaces of the cured fabric are subsequently planed. The planing step segments the electrically conductive strand(s) and forms a PCB substrate that includes a planarized cured fabric with upper and lower planed surfaces and a plurality of electrically conductive strand segments extending from the upper planed surface to the lower planed surface.
