  • Patent number: 12129925
    Abstract: One or more radial holes in the body of the hydraulic tensioner are used to control outward hydraulic flow restriction from the hydraulic pressure chamber within the piston. The one or more holes can be arranged in different ways to allow the piston position to alter the outward oil flow of the tensioner.

  • Publication number: 20240307911
    Abstract: A modulating nozzle assembly for use with an agricultural sprayer includes a nozzle base having a base edge. A spray modulating element, such as a shuttle, is movably coupled with the nozzle base. The shuttle includes a shuttle edge. A spray port is between the nozzle base and the shuttle. The spray port includes a spray port profile, and the spray port profile is formed by the base edge and the shuttle edge. A modulation actuator is coupled with the shuttle, the modulation actuator is configured to move one or more of the shuttle edge or the base edge relative to the other of the base edge or the shuttle edge to control the spray port profile.

  • Publication number: 20240300531
    Abstract: A system for data-driven, modular decision making and trajectory generation includes a computing system. A method for data-driven, modular decision making and trajectory generation includes: receiving a set of inputs; selecting a learning module such as a deep decision network and/or a deep trajectory network from a set of learning modules; producing an output based on the learning module; repeating any or all of the above processes; and/or any other suitable processes. Additionally or alternatively, the method can include training any or all of the learning modules; validating one or more outputs; and/or any other suitable processes and/or combination of processes.
