  • Patent number: 11648825
    Abstract: A screen assembly adapted to be removably coupled to an air filter of a construction vehicle includes a frame member including a first portion and a second portion. The screen assembly includes a screen member coupled to the frame member such that a hollow space is defined by the screen member and the frame member. The screen member includes a plurality of perforations adapted to allow passage of air therethrough. The plurality of perforations are further adapted to restrict an ingress of debris into the hollow space of the screen assembly.

  • Patent number: 10621648
    Abstract: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to recommending products to a customer based on derived subjective attributes for the products. In some embodiments, a system for recommending products to a customer comprises a customer prompt module configured to receive an indication of a category, determine, based on derived subjective attributes of the customer, an initial set of products, select a prompt based on an estimated number of products in the initial set of products that can be eliminated, incorporate, with a script, the prompt, present the prompt, receive the response to the prompt, a scoring module configured to calculate a score for the response to the prompt, a product recommendation module configured to eliminate at least a portion of the initial set of products, determine that a threshold has been reached, and a presentation module configured to generate a GUI including the remaining products.

  • Patent number: 9764642
    Abstract: An operator station includes a console, a rail, a slider assembly, a suspension mechanism, a platform, a display mounting assembly, and a display. The console includes a lever and at least one locking pin. The rail selectively engages with the lever. The slider assembly slidably engages with the rail. The suspension mechanism operatively associates with the slider assembly and with the rail. The platform operatively associates with the slider assembly, tiltably associates with the console, and slidably selectively engages with the at least one locking pin. The display mounting assembly operatively associates with the slider assembly. The display operatively associates with the display mounting assembly.

  • Publication number: 20080056958
    Abstract: A clinical analyzer with a vision system proximate a sample tube rack, the rack having a number of different insert adapters, the adapters having markings to identify the insert, thereby identifying the type of tube. The adapters are of heights selected to position tubes of various heights at a common aspiration level. A 2-D imaging device is employed to read the markings and for analyzing various distinguishing characteristics of the sample tubes.
