  • Patent number: 11866893
    Abstract: The invention relates to a self-propelled construction machine, comprising a machine frame supported by a chassis having wheels or crawler tracks. The basic principle of the invention involves determining a variable ? which is characteristic of the milling profile on the basis of a functional relationship between the variable which is characteristic of the milling profile and the advance speed v and/or milling drum rotational speed n. The variable ? which is characteristic of the milling profile is a correction variable for adjusting the height of the milling drum with respect to the surface of the ground.

  • Publication number: 20230340736
    Abstract: A system of differential working is provided wherein a controller of a construction machine is provided with a working depth data set and with a design surface data set. A location of the construction machine within a reference system external to the construction machine is determined, for example using a global navigation satellite system. The controller may determine the desired working depth at the current locations of the ends of the working implement from the working depth data set. The controller may determine the desired cross-slope at the current location of the working implement from the design surface data set. The desired working depths and the desired cross-slope may be communicated to a grade control system of the controller.

  • Publication number: 20230304235
    Abstract: A self-propelled substrate milling machine includes a machine frame supported by front and rear left-hand and right-hand running gear units, wherein a milling drum is arranged on the machine frame. The substrate milling machine is characterized by a transverse inclination sensor system, which is designed to control the substrate milling machine in such a way that the position of the front left-hand and right-hand running gear units which stand on the unmachined substrate, is detected with respect to the machine frame, and transverse inclination values describing the transverse inclination of the substrate surface transverse to the working direction of the substrate milling machine with respect to the machine frame is determined from the position of these running gear units, said transverse inclination values being the basis for the control of the substrate milling machine. The transverse inclination sensor system detects the transverse inclination of the course of the route.

    Abstract: A machine train is composed of a road milling machine that travels in front and a road finisher that travels behind. The road milling machine has a profile data determining device configured so that a sequence of height profile data describing the height of the road surface in the longitudinal direction is determined while the road milling machine advances. For transmission of the height profile data, a data transmission device is provided on the road milling machine and a data receiving device is provided on the road finisher. To change the position of the screed, the road finisher has a levelling device that comprises at least one actuator and a control unit, which is configured so that the control unit generates a control signal for controlling the at least one actuator in accordance with a height profile data set.

  • Patent number: 11487727
    Abstract: One embodiment provides for a method including performing, by a processing thread, a process that analyzes transactional operations by maintaining the transactional operations in transaction local side logs, and waiting until a successful transaction commit to append the transaction local side logs to a log stream. The processing thread processes the transactional operations on a key used to determine whether existing data is found for the key. The transactional operations are sped up through parallelism based on partitioning tables across nodes handling the transactional operations. A first process is performed by a first processor that processes updates for values of a key based on updating a first start time table index using unique keys and a start time field of a row for a first appearance of each unique key from the transactional operations.
