Abstract: A folding feeder hopper includes a locking assembly and side walls, which are configured to lock themselves when unfolded or deployed for operation. The locking assembly has a first locking device provided on the side wall and configured to engage with a second locking device provided on a support assembly. The second locking device includes an elastic element and retaining members on front and rear ends of the hopper for providing alignment to the side walls when they move between locked and unlocked positions. A method for locking the side walls in a deployed position is also provided.

Abstract: A device for assisting with the maintenance of a machine. The device has a user interface for displaying an augmented reality scene, a camera for capturing in real time video of an area of interest for inclusion in the augmented reality scene, a positioning module for determining the position of the device relative to the machine, a shape recognition module for recognizing the actual component of the machine in the video, a database of virtual components and associated maintenance, assembly and/or disassembly instructions, which are displayable in the augmented reality scene and a matching module for matching the virtual component to the corresponding actual component to show a user where maintenance is required and which links to the database to provide maintenance instructions.

Abstract: A device for assisting with the safe use of a machine. The device has a user interface for displaying an augmented reality scene, a camera for capturing, in real time, video of an area of interest for inclusion in an augmented reality scene, a positioning module for determining the position of the device relative to the machine, a shape recognition module for recognizing an actual location near the machine in the video, a database of virtual safe areas around the machine, which are displayable in the augmented reality scene and a matching module for matching the virtual safe areas to the corresponding actual component, to identify to a user, in the augmented reality scene, areas around the machine which are safe and corresponding areas which are unsafe. A library of signs, arrows and the like, which are displayable and represent hazards, prohibitions and mandatory actions to the user, are available.

Abstract: A screening assembly for screening material includes an assembly frame, a multi-deck screening device, a transfer conveyor and a drive means. The drive means is operable to shift at least one of the discharge ends of the screening device and the receiving end of the conveyor relative to the assembly frame to allow the transfer conveyor to selectively receive material from an upper screen and from both screens of the screening device at their respective discharge ends. A mobile material processing plant incorporating the screening assembly is included.
