  • Publication number: 20220156678
    Abstract: A system and method is presented for gathering data concerning harvests. Data tickets are generated at a point of origination (i.e., the field), local storage, processing, or a customer location. Implements attached to a vehicle in the field (e.g., a tractor) may provide sensor data over a vehicle communication bus about how a field processing task was performed. A computing device on the vehicle periodically reads the sensor data and records the data along with the current time and GPS position of the vehicle as a data point. A plurality of data points are transmitted to a remote server as a data trail. Data trails from a plurality of vehicles are compared to find points of intersection. Sensor data in the data trails for the points of intersection are examined to determine data related to the transfer of goods between vehicles during the time of intersection.

  • Patent number: 11162605
    Abstract: This invention relates generally to the dispensing of a fluid. More specifically, the invention relates to an apparatus and method for remotely controlling the flow of an effluent fluid stream from a dispensing hose of a fluid dispenser. An actuator controls at least one valve assembly of the fluid dispenser and comprises a generator located remotely of the at least one valve assembly, for generating a low-pressure signal, and at least one receiver in fluid communication with the generator for receiving the low pressure signal of each receiver operably associated with each valve assembly. The actuator also facilitates the simultaneous, sequential and alternate control of the at least one valve assembly.

  • Publication number: 20150330893
    Abstract: An analysis assembly (12) for analyzing one or more physiological parameters of a person (10) comprises a sensor assembly (14) and an analyzer (16). The sensor assembly (14) includes a sampler (218) that collects a sample (220) from the person (10); and a signal generating apparatus (222) that directs a mid-infrared light beam (232) toward the sample (220) and performs spectroscopy on the sample (220) to generate a signal (215) that is based at least in part on the one or more physiological parameters of the person (10). The sampler (218) and the signal generating apparatus (222) can be positioned less than approximately one meter from the person (10) while the sample (220) is being collected and spectroscopically scanned to generate the signal (215). The analyzer (16) receives and analyzes the signal (215) to determine the presence of the one or more physiological parameters in the sample (220).

  • Patent number: 8763862
    Abstract: A dispensing assembly for dispensing a mixture of fluids is provided. In some embodiments, the dispensing assembly includes a first valve for selectively permitting fluid flow to a mixing chamber in which a second fluid is introduced, wherein the valve is actuated between open and closed positions responsive to fluid pressure downstream of the mixing chamber. In such embodiments, the fluid pressure downstream of the mixing chamber can change based upon whether fluid is dispensed from a spray gun, wand, nozzle, or other dispensing head of the dispensing assembly.
