  • Publication number: 20250053448
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to controlling hardware resources over an interface. In some embodiments, a first device performs tasks using one or more included hardware resources, including providing a local control stream that controls operation of the one or more hardware resources. In response to detecting a connection to a second device, the first device offloads the tasks to the second device including transitioning from providing the local control stream to routing, via the interface controller, a remote control stream received from the second device to the one or more hardware resources.

  • Patent number: 9648802
    Abstract: A system is provided for planting multiple types of seed and automatically switching between the varieties during planting in a single planting pass of a planting session of row-crop planting an agricultural field. The system may include a selector assembly arranged between a multi-compartment on-row hopper and a seed meter at each row unit of a planter. A control system controls selector valves of the selector assembly to switch from releasing of seeds of a first type from the on-row hopper the seed meter to releasing of seeds of a second type from the on-row hopper to the seed meter for providing a switchover of seeds being planted from the seed meter, from the first to the second type when the seed meter cross a boundary between different zones of the agricultural field.

  • Patent number: 9603298
    Abstract: A system for planting multiple types of seed and automatically switching between the varieties during planting in a single planting pass of a planting session of row-crop or other planting of an agricultural field. The system may include a bulk storage system, an on-row storage system, and a charging system that selectively delivers seeds of different varieties from the bulk storage system to the on-row storage system. The system may include a seed metering system that can be controlled at each of multiple row units to selectively plant different types or varieties of seed based on seed type or variety zones agricultural field, which may correspond to field characteristics defined in a seed variety prescription map.
