  • Patent number: 11102609
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for a high precision geofence system. An external location device providing high-accuracy location data is used in conjunction with a client device. The external location device includes components to provide high-accuracy location data, such as a higher quality and more robust antenna than what is included in current client devices. The antenna and other components may be purpose built to determine a geographic location of the external location device, such as by being designed specifically for the sole purpose of accepting Global Positioning System signals. By limiting the components included in the external location device to those used for its primary purpose of determining its geographic location, the size and cost of the external location device can be minimized. Accordingly, the external location device may be designed to be attached/affixed to a client device or easily carried by a user.

  • Publication number: 20070119160
    Abstract: A unitized hydraulic system comprises a tank for holding hydraulic fluid, a hydraulic pump powered by a pump motor for receiving hydraulic fluid from the tank and creating a high pressure stream of fluid, a control valve for receiving hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic pump and regulating movement of the hydraulic fluid within the system, an actuator for receiving hydraulic fluid from the control valve to drive a shaft coupled to the actuator, and a controller in communication with the pump motor and configured to provide controlled actuation of the pump motor, wherein all components are coupled together to form a single unit which is capable of being easily installed and interchanged.

  • Publication number: 20060070263
    Abstract: A universal control adapter system allows any commercial or custom snowplow controller to be quickly and easily attached and detached from any commercial or custom snowplow blade. A first adapter connects the snowplow driver's controller to a first universal controller. A second adapter connects the snowplow to a second universal connector, where the second universal connector is configured to removably mate with the first universal connector. The first universal connector and second universal connector are color coded or otherwise configured to ensure proper mating. In this manner, skilled snowplow drivers can quickly and easily transfer their controllers to different vehicles rather than learning different controls for various snowplow manufacturers.
