  • Patent number: 9747166
    Abstract: Systems and methods herein provide for a clustered content management comprising at least two computing nodes. A first node comprises an instance of the content repository. The first computing node may perform content management operations on its instance of the content repository. Changes to the instance of the content repository of the first computing node are synchronized with the content repository by way of a second computing node. The second computing node is communicatively coupled to the first computing node through a network and is operable to synchronize the change with the content repository. The second computing node also determines that synchronization of the change is blocked due to an error. The second computing node identifies the error, determines that the error is correctable, and corrects the error to synchronize the change with the content repository.

  • Patent number: 9554499
    Abstract: An agricultural vehicle has an implement connection hitch which is moveable relative to a rear axle of the vehicle. A system for controlling movement of the connection hitch is coupled with position sensors such as a GPS receiver. During turning maneuvers, the control system moves the hitch relative to the rear axle of the vehicle until it reaches an offset position such as to reduce the turning circle of the vehicle and a connected implement. The extent of offset may be determined automatically by the control system on identification of a connected implement.

  • Patent number: 9462401
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a public address system with a control center to which loudspeakers are connected via a two-wire loop system that is routed via isolator modules. A fault can be located on the loop system if the control center measures the impedance of the loop system successively from isolator module to isolator module and the impedance of the entire loop system, inputs the measured values as target values into an impedance table, periodically measures the impedance of the entire loop system during operation, compares said impedance with the corresponding target value from the impedance table, generates a fault message upon determining a deviation, ascertains the fault location by comparing the measured value with the individual target values in the impedance table, and displays said fault location.
