  • Publication number: 20240138310
    Abstract: A cross member on a receiving vehicle which is coupled to a following vehicle, is located relative to a leading vehicle. The location of the cross member is tracked during an unloading operation so the leading vehicle avoids the cross member when unloading material into the receiving vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20240138313
    Abstract: A hitch point where a receiving vehicle is coupled to a following vehicle is located relative to a leading vehicle. The trajectory or route of the following vehicle is detected and a dynamic model estimates a location of a receiving area in the receiving vehicle relative to the leading vehicle based on the trajectory or route of the following vehicle and the location of the hitch point relative to the leading vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20240138304
    Abstract: A three dimensional grid map is generated to locate a cross member on a receiving vehicle which is coupled to a following vehicle. The location of the cross member is tracked during an unloading operation so the leading vehicle avoids the cross member when unloading material into the receiving vehicle, and so the fill level is more accurately identified.

  • Publication number: 20240138315
    Abstract: A physical attribute of a receiving vehicle (a receiving vehicle parameter) is automatically detected by a sensor on a leading vehicle, and a calibration system locates (by calculating a calibrated offset value) the receiving vehicle parameter relative to a reference point on a following vehicle, the following vehicle providing propulsion to the receiving vehicle. The leading vehicle automatically unloads material into the receiving vehicle using the calibrated offset value corresponding to the receiving vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20240138314
    Abstract: A physical attribute of a receiving vehicle (a receiving vehicle parameter) is located by calculating a vehicle parameter offset value indicative of the location of the receiving vehicle parameter relative to a reference point on a following vehicle, the following vehicle providing propulsion to the receiving vehicle. The vehicle parameter offset value is stored for access during an unloading operation. A leading vehicle automatically accesses the vehicle parameter offset value and unloads material into the receiving vehicle using the vehicle parameter offset value corresponding to the receiving vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11845195
    Abstract: A blade assembly includes a support frame, a cutting blade, a motor to drive the cutting blade, a support shaft operatively coupled to the support frame to permit pivotal movement of the support frame, and an actuator operatively coupled to the support frame to reciprocally move the slicing assembly between an extended position and a retracted position. When the slicing assembly is in the extended position, a plane of the cutting blade is substantially co-planar with a cutting plane of the food product, and the cutting blade slices the food product. Conversely, when the slicing assembly is in the retracted position, the plane of the cutting blade is disposed at a predetermined angle away from the cutting plane of the food product, and the cutting blade does not contact the food product.
