Abstract: A smart tine assembly includes: a tine configured to aerate turf; and a damage sensing system configured to: sense when the tine is damaged, and generate a damaged tine signal.

Abstract: A turf maintenance machine includes: a moveable platform configured to move the turf maintenance machine within an area to be maintained, wherein the area to be maintained includes a plurality of below-grade smart irrigation objects; a locating system configured to determine if the turf maintenance machine is proximate one of the plurality of below-grade smart irrigation objects; and a turf aeration system configured to aerate turf within the area to be maintained.

Abstract: A method for ascertaining a loss of value for a vehicle includes collecting data regarding vehicle maintenance, damages and other factors that may effect the value of a vehicle. The data are evaluated for ascertaining an average change in value of a vehicle as a result of changes of the factors. The value of the vehicle having an average change in value is compared with a comparable vehicle not having sustained damage. An average difference is determined. The average difference is used to price an insurance policy for the loss of value for a vehicle having been damaged and then repaired as compared to an undamaged vehicle.
