  • Publication number: 20250141539
    Abstract: Service disrupting operations for a mobile node (e.g. a LEO or MEO satellite) are scheduled to automatically take place when the platform is at a certain location or enters a region. Service disrupting operation may be performed, and the mobile node taken out of service, when the mobile node's physical location matches a target region, at which the services of the mobile node are not in high demand. Alternatively, service disrupting operation may be performed when the mobile node is proximate to a ground station which facilitates the associated service disruption. The service disruption may correspond to a reconfiguration for purposes of serving a different regional communication network.

  • Publication number: 20250133976
    Abstract: A machine system includes a machine having a work tool assembly coupled to a back machine end and including a linkage adjustable among raised, lowered, and middle linkage positions in a vertical operating range. A work tool coupled to the linkage has an angular orientation dependent upon the position of the linkage and is pivotable at a greater pivoting ratio to the raised linkage position and a reduced pivoting ratio to the lowered linkage position. The configuration enables maintaining the work tool at a desired service orientation in a ground-penetrating portion of the vertical operating range, whilst tucking the work tool at the raised linkage position to facilitate loading of the machine onto a trailer.
