Abstract: A guide link arm assembly for coupling a sensor to a boom of a work machine is disclosed. The guide link arm assembly comprises a single-piece elongated member with a first pivotal coupling on a first end and a second pivotal coupling on a second end. The elongated member includes a sensor housing recess defined in part by a base surface and opposed sensor housing recess surfaces extending from the base surface. The sensor housing recess configured to receive the sensor, and further includes a first boss and a second boss extending from the base surface. A restricting member removably coupled to a boss surface of the first boss and the second boss secures the sensor when coupled to the boss surface. A cover is removably coupled to the elongated member for enclosing the sensor.

Abstract: A battery powered electric excavator includes an undercarriage including left and right crawler tracks. A main frame is mounted on the undercarriage to be pivotable about a vertical pivot axis relative to the undercarriage. An operator's cabin is located on the main frame closer to the forward end than to the rearward end and located to one lateral side of the vertical pivot axis. At least one high voltage battery is located on the main frame rearward of the vertical pivot axis and rearward of the operator's cabin. A primary electric motor is operably connected to the at least one high voltage battery. At least one main hydraulic pump is driven by the primary electric motor. The primary electric motor, the main hydraulic pump, and a hydraulic reservoir are located on the main frame on an opposite lateral side of the vertical pivot axis from the operator's cabin.

Abstract: A vehicle comprising a hydraulic fluid reservoir, a hydraulic fluid pump, a hydraulic filter, a sensor, and a vehicle control unit. The hydraulic fluid reservoir may have a bottom portion filled with hydraulic fluid and a top portion filled with air. The hydraulic fluid pump may be hydraulically coupled to the hydraulic fluid reservoir so as to draw hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic fluid reservoir. The hydraulic filter may be hydraulically coupled to the hydraulic fluid reservoir so as to filter debris from the hydraulic fluid entering the hydraulic fluid reservoir. The sensor may be in communication with the vehicle control unit where the sensor is configured to measure a variable indicative of a failure status of the hydraulic filter and communicate the variable to the vehicle control unit.

Abstract: Described herein is an end-to-end solution (i.e., capable of constructing a content delivery network all the way from an origin server to end user devices) which provides a managerial overview to what has been a very disjoint build-out of networks. In the past, networks have evolved to serve particular needs, as opposed to being architected from a strategic view. What this does is to allow someone (e.g., content provider, network operator, etc.) to impose a strategy over those networks. Rather than having to construct solutions that deliver a particular kind of content, a particular security requirement, a particular latency requirement, etc., one can simply provision particular types of nodes as needed when needed.

Abstract: A network infrastructure provisioned according to design information received via a web portal contains one or more nodes and facilitates deployment of services and associated data across physical and virtualized resources for a content delivery path between a content source and a content consumer according to technical and business needs of a content provider. Provisioning is accomplished by storing the design information in one or more repositories, the repositories containing data, packaging information and metadata of the one or more nodes, and one or more map files specifying the respective addresses of the one or more nodes. The network infrastructure is instantiated based on the design information stored in the one or more repositories and the one or more map files by configuring the nodes according to the design information and communicatively coupling the nodes with one another; and registering the instantiated nodes with a global software load balancer.

Abstract: Described herein are techniques to combat ad fraud, in which a client device is determined to be trustworthy or not trustworthy, and ads from an ad server are only provided to a client device that is determined to be trustworthy. As a result, client devices that have been infected with malware and ordinarily would have performed various forms of ad fraud (e.g., ad stacking, click fraud) receive no ads and are precluded from performing ad fraud. A proxy device within an ISP network may monitor all network traffic to and from the client device. Information useful in determining the trustworthiness of client device may be collected from the proxy device by an analysis server, which may use various indicators of trust in order to ascertain the trustworthiness of the client device.

Abstract: A hydraulic management system and method are provided that account for auxiliary work tool usage. The hydraulic management system automatically calculates an effective use time of a hydraulic element, such as a hydraulic fluid or hydraulic filters, by multiplying work tool usage by a desired gain factor, where the gain factor may exceed 1 for auxiliary work tools.
