  • Publication number: 20240135554
    Abstract: A method for tracking a movable implement of a work vehicle. The method comprises the steps of 1.) accessing images during movement of the work vehicle providing a view onto an environment and at least part of the implement, 2.) providing by a feature tracking algorithm a 3D environment model and referencing of the sensor pose to the 3D environment model, 3.) tracking implement features at different poses of the implement and, determining implement tracking data providing positional and arrangement information for the implement features, 4.) accessing benchmark information providing a real distance between two benchmark points, 5.) using the benchmark information to provide the implement tracking data with absolute scale information, and 6.) using the implement tracking data for the tracking of the implement.

  • Patent number: 5090569
    Abstract: A reusable packaging device is provided which is in the nature of a joke or novelty item or advertising article. The device includes an outer shell assembly in which an object to be packaged can be housed prior to use thereof or during interruptions in that use. This shell assembly includes a plurality of shell parts which, in the closed position thereof, surround the object. An elongate support member supports the shell assembly and the object. The shell parts are hinged at one end thereof to the support member so that said shell parts can pivot between a closed position in which the shell parts surround and enclose the object, and an opened position wherein the object is revealed. A rubber band secured to hooks formed on each of the shell parts biases the shell parts toward the support member so as to tend to maintain the shell parts in the positions to which shell parts are moved, i.e., to hold the shell parts either opened or closed.
