  • Patent number: 11966711
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a solution for translation verification and correction. According to the solution, a neural network is trained to determine an association degree among a group of words in a source or target language. The neural network can be used for translation verification and correction. According to the solution, a group of words in a source language and translations of the group of words in a target language are obtained. An association degree among the group of words and an association degree among the translations can be determined by using the trained neural network. Then, whether there is a wrong translation can be determined based on the association degrees. In some embodiments, corresponding methods, systems and computer program products are provided.

  • Patent number: 11549235
    Abstract: A system to control operation of a machine having a ground-engaging work implement for moving material about a worksite include a controller configured to determine a feasible target profile for the work implement to engage material. The feasible target profile may include a preload segment, a cut segment, and a loading segment. The controller determines a feasible prospective cut segment from a plurality of prospective cut segments. The controller generates a prospective preloading segment and a prospective loading segment associated with the feasible prospective cut profile. Position points associated with the loading segment are extracted and the controller determines if the ground-engaging work implement will align with the plurality of position points. The controller may also determine whether the load volume for the prospective cut segment is efficient.

  • Publication number: 20210222406
    Abstract: A guide system for planning missions of autonomous or semi-autonomous material displacement machines includes an operator interface and at least one computer coupled with the operator interface. The at least one computer is structured to receive working elevation information associated with missions executed by machines and indicative of working elevation parameters dependent upon disposition of a material displaced by the machines. The guide system is further structured to receive surrounding terrain information and compare the working elevation parameters to a surrounding elevation parameter. The guide system produces elevation variance alerts based on the comparison, and displays the elevation variance alerts in an operator-perceptible form such as graphically on a display in an operator interface.

  • Patent number: 10858801
    Abstract: A system for controlling operation of a machine having a frame supported by ground engaging members and a work implement movably supported by the frame includes a machine position sensor and an implement position sensor to output data pertaining to a position and orientation of the machine and the work implement within a worksite. The system further includes a controller that receives the data output by the machine position sensor and the implement position sensor. The controller computes an amount of gap that is required for alignment of the machine and the work implement with a slot based on the received data. The controller then controls a movement of the ground engaging members for positioning the machine at the computed amount of gap from a cut point located within the slot prior to the work implement entering a cut position for performing a cut within the slot.

  • Patent number: 10774506
    Abstract: A system for moving material with a ground engaging work implement determines a topography of the work surface, a maximum cutting capacity for a cutting operation, and a maximum carrying capacity for a carrying operation. A first double cut location is determined based upon the maximum carrying capacity and the topography of the work surface and a second double cut location is determined based upon the maximum carrying capacity and a modified topography of the work surface. Individually, the amount of material from each of the first and second double cut locations is less than the maximum cutting capacity, and combined is less than the maximum carrying capacity. A first forward double cut command moves the first double cut material to an intermediate position and a second forward double cut command moves the first double cut material and the second double cut amount of material to a dump location.
