Abstract: Techniques for automatic control of a vehicle are disclosed. The vehicle may include a removable input device having various modes of operation. For example, a coupled mode of operation may control the vehicle when an operator is in an operator area of the vehicle, while a remote mode of operation may enable vehicle control when the operator is outside of the operator area. The vehicle may include object sensors to detect a target such as the removable input device or an operator device. Accordingly, the vehicle may automatically follow the target. The vehicle may also identify obstacles, in response to which manual control of the vehicle may at least temporarily be provided to the operator, after which automatic control may resume.

Abstract: A system and method for communicating data comprises a group of radios intercommunicating data through a channel using a time division multiple access having a plurality of timeslots. The system further comprises a first radio of the group of radios selecting a data communication selection, said first radio communicating a request control signal to a leader radio of the group of radios. When a request control acknowledge signal is received from a leader radio at the first radio, suspending time division multiple access intercommunicating data within the group of radios using the plurality of timeslots and communicating data through the channel.

Abstract: A method and system includes a first vehicle radio generating a first communication signal for a second vehicle radio and communicating the first communication signal through the first radio system of a first vehicle. The first vehicle radio communicating the first signal though a cellular system to the second vehicle radio when a response signal is not received from the second vehicle radio.

Abstract: A method and system includes a first radio generating a beacon signal. The beacon signal has group beacon data for a group comprising a plurality of radios and the first radio. The first radio transmits the beacon signal during a beacon timeslot of a frame. The frame has a plurality of timeslots. A second radio outside the group receives the beacon signal, identifies a first timeslot that is unused based on the group beacon data and communicates data from the second radio to the group during the first timeslot.

Abstract: A drop detector includes a printed circuit board (PCB) including a number of optical channels each formed by a light emitter and a light detector and a number of holes defined in the PCB over which the optical channels pass over and through which a number of ejected drops from a number of printheads pass through wherein each of the number of holes defined in PCB are sized to contour the shape of the number of the printheads.

Abstract: A method of detecting droplets of printing fluid output from a nozzle array includes, in an example, grouping a number of nozzles into a number of individual groups of nozzles and sequentially detecting, with a printing fluid detector, printing fluid ejected from each group of nozzles using a linear position encoder to synchronize the position of the printing fluid detector wherein the printing fluid detector stops moving while detecting each group of nozzles.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to control operation of a printer based on whether a marker is detected in a pigment ink are disclosed. Example apparatus include an optical sensor to detect a marker in a vehicle component of the pigment ink. The vehicle is depleted of a pigment component. The apparatus also includes a controller to control operation of the printer based on whether the marker is detected. The apparatus can also include an authorizer to determine whether the printer in which the pigment ink is installed is authorized to use the pigment ink having the marker. The controller of the apparatus is to control operation of the printer by transmitting a control signal to a print head processor to halt printing operations. The apparatus can additionally include a filter to deplete the vehicle component of the pigment component.
