Abstract: A work machine and a method of controlling work machine power of the work machine during a harvesting operation for harvesting a crop. The work machine may include an engine, a hybrid machine, or an electric machine. The work machine may operate by identifying a state of a driver assistance selector that includes a manual mode and an automatic mode. While in the manual mode, the work machine may operate at a nominal power target, and, when in the automatic mode, the work machine may operate at an enhanced power target for harvesting. When the driver assistance feature changes from the automatic mode to the manual mode, the transition between the enhanced power to the nominal power may be reduced over a predetermined period of time to optimize machine drivability and system performance.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, systems, methods, and media for determining a position of an aerial system are provided. In some embodiments, a method comprises: receiving, from a 3D range sensor, position information indicative of a position of one or more objects in a sensor region during a first time period, wherein the position information comprises a plurality of points, each point of the plurality of points being associated with an altitude, and a 2D lateral position; receiving, from the tethered air system, an altitude value; identifying one or more points of the plurality of points with an altitude corresponding to the altitude value; and determining a current position of the tethered air system based on the 2D lateral position associated with the one or more points.

Abstract: A lightweight, relatively inexpensive rocket nozzle assembly which is heat resistant, ablative and electrically insulating. The body of the nozzle is molded in fibre reinforced thermosetting resin integrally with a forward metallic retaining ring, a rear metallic fin supporting ring and an electrical contact ring. A graphite throat insert is also provided and helical vanes are integrally molded into the rear portion of the nozzle to effect rotary motion of the exhaust gases. Wrap around fins are secured externally of the nozzle and provided with a retainer ring-shear pin assembly to hold the fins in the closed position for transport, and spring means to deploy the fins after firing and shearing of the shear pins.

Abstract: A shear pin assembly suitable for use in a rocket retention and release system is provided. Each shear pin has a head and a shank with a passageway extending axially along the length of the shear pin. In the rocket release system, the shear pin connects a shear pin ring to the rear end of the rocket. A hole to receive the shear pin is provided in both the shear pin ring and the rear end of the rocket. The hole in the ring extends completely therethrough and has a diameter less than the diameter of the hole in the rocket. The passageway in the pin has parallel sides in longitudinal cross-section at the head end of the pin and sides which taper inwardly towards the shank end of the pin at the shank end. When the pin is inserted into the holes to connect the ring and rear end of the rocket together, the pin is expanded by a mandrel so that a shank end portion of the pin in the hole of the rocket fills the cross-section of the hole.
