  • Patent number: 11808007
    Abstract: An example work machine control system may include cost factor logic to obtain a cost factor for a resource, cost variable logic to obtain a consumption signal from a consumption sensor indicative of consumption of the resource, fill measurement logic configured to receive a fill signal from a fill sensor, the fill signal indicative of a fill state of a container of an earth-moving work machine, fill target logic to determine a target fill level for the container based on the cost factor, the consumption signal and the fill signal and control logic to generate a machine control signal based on the target fill level.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11591776
    Abstract: An example work machine control system includes target fill level determination logic configured to determine a target fill level for a container of an earth-moving work machine, fill level measurement logic configured to receive a sensor signal from a sensor that detects contents of the container and generate a measurement metric indicative of a current fill level of the container based on the sensor signal, and control logic configured to generate a machine control signal based on the measurement metric and the target fill level.

  • Publication number: 20160209112
    Abstract: A portable device for cooling a beverage-containing container, comprises a heat transfer liner, a heat barrier shell, a heat exchanger and a receiver. The heat transfer liner has an inner diameter selected to receive a beverage container, such as a can or a bottle. The heat barrier shell has an inner diameter that is larger than the outer diameter of the heat transfer liner, so that the heat barrier shell can coaxially receive the heat transfer liner. A heat exchanger is disposed in an annulus between the heat transfer liner and the heat barrier shell. The heat exchanger is adapted to receive a heat transfer medium for cooling a beverage contained in the beverage container. The device also has a connection member adapted for directly or indirectly connecting at least one of the heat transfer liner and the barrier shell to a receiver for receiving a heat transfer medium. The receiver is further adapted to be in fluid communication with the heat exchanger.
