  • Patent number: 11505906
    Abstract: A user interface for a snow groomer or other tracked vehicle, such as tracked carrier to carry and enable use of work equipment on various terrains, is provided. The user interface may comprise an input device, an output device and a controller. The controller is configured to receive from the input device an indication of a desired snow grooming distance, and the controller is further configured to measure a distance traveled by the snow groomer, and to cause the output device to convey a remaining distance to be traveled by the snow groomer, the remaining distance being the difference between the desired snow grooming distance and the distance traveled by the snow groomer.

  • Patent number: 11088517
    Abstract: Illustrative embodiments of electrical systems and methods may include an electrical enclosure to house electrical components. The electrical enclosure may have an enclosure opening configured to receive an electrical connection. A closure plate may be positionable over the enclosure opening to prevent water from entering the enclosure opening. The closure plate may include a closure plate recess formed in a bottom surface of the closure plate and configured to retain water such that the retained water acts as a seal to prevent additional water from entering the electrical enclosure through the enclosure opening.

  • Patent number: 10725167
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide remote sensing data and/or imagery (e.g., radar and/or other ranging system data, image data, and/or target detection data). A remote sensing system includes a remote sensing assembly including a scanning sensor array, and a coupled logic device. The logic device is configured to receive remote sensor returns from a plurality of remote sensor beams within an illumination zone of the remote sensing assembly, wherein each remote sensor beam is formed using the scanning sensor array and comprises a substantially static orientation relative to an absolute coordinate frame, and generate remote sensor data based, at least in part, on the remote sensor returns and the substantially static orientations of the plurality of remote sensor beams. Subsequent user input and/or the sensor data may be used to adjust operational modes and/or systems of the remote sensing system.

  • Patent number: 9422694
    Abstract: Embodiments of a manually operated valve for a shower installation system are described herein that include: an inlet and an outlet configured for installation of the valve along piping and a valve debit control mechanism including a valve chamber that defines a passage between the inlet and outlet, and a valve actuator that biases the valve debit control mechanism towards a closed position wherein the passage is obstructed and which is movable towards an opened position wherein the passage is opened when a triggering force is applied onto the valve actuator. The valve limits the consumption of water in a shower by automatically preventing the flow of water therethrough unless a user voluntarily triggers and maintains the opening of the valve.
