  • Patent number: 12433200
    Abstract: An agricultural work machine and a method for operation an agricultural work machine are disclosed. The agricultural work machine includes a driver's cab with an interior space spatially partially delimited by a front window and at least one side window, a driver's seat arranged in the interior space, an input device for entering input by an operator, a visualization system for visualizing information for an operator sitting on the driver's seat, and a control device which is communication with the visualization system.

  • Patent number: 10207933
    Abstract: A deaerated talc may include micronized, talc powder having a Hegman rating of 4.0 or greater. A deaerated talc may include micronized talc powder having enough cohesive strength for form agglomerations measuring 100 millimeters or less, 75 millimeters or less, or 50 millimeters or less. A deaerated talc product may include a micronized talc powder, and a bag containing the deaerated talc. The micronized talc powder may be deaerated via application of force to the micronized talc powder in at least two directions, including a first direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the bag and a second direction.

  • Patent number: 10197637
    Abstract: The present application discloses a system and method for monitoring and reporting the status of a direct current (DC) subsystem including a battery bank and battery charger. The system and method are configured to perform tests on distinct modules within the DC subsystem and store test data. The test data are analyzed to determine the status of each module. An aggregator determines the DC subsystem status based on the module statuses and displays an indication of the determined aggregate status.

  • Publication number: 20070130467
    Abstract: A method for digitally signing information in real-time, based on a user request for the information. In one embodiment, the method is useful in a Web server, and can be implemented using a server-side API filter. One embodiment of the method includes receiving a data request from a user and determining whether the data requested should be marked. If the data should be marked, the method includes marking the data with a signature identifying at least one component of the user request; and storing information identifying the user with the request and the at least one component. Multiple types of marking techniques can be used on a single data file.
