Abstract: A method and system for the optimized determination of machine parameters of an agricultural production machine is disclosed. The agricultural production machine has a driver assistance system and a sensor assembly and performs an agricultural task in a local context. A determination routine the driver assistance system uses the strategy specifications as input parameters of the instruction for use to determine the optimized machine parameters optimized with respect to the strategy specifications as output parameters of the instruction for use, wherein the strategy is parameterized with initial strategy parameters at the beginning of the execution of the agricultural task. The driver assistance system uses strategy parameters as the initial strategy parameters that have already been optimized by at least one agricultural production machine in a similar local context.

Abstract: An agricultural production machine configured for determining optimized working parameters for the of the agricultural production machine is disclosed. The agricultural production machine has a driver assistance system and a sensor system and performs an agricultural task in a local context. The driver assistance system comprises a map control system that includes one or more maps to optimize work parameters of the process units of the agricultural production machine. A particular characteristic map describes a relationship between working parameters of the process unit and quality parameters using initial working points. When performing the agricultural task, the driver assistance system checks a local context to determine whether a context-related map is available and, if so, replace the basic map with the context-related map in order to determine optimized working parameters.

Abstract: A flexible line assembly is formed, in particular, as a strap or a leash of an animal guide device, a strap of a purse or a strap of an item of clothing. The line carries an electric consumer that is connectible to a voltage source which, in turn, is fastenable to the line. The line further carries a flashlight holder for releasably holding a flashlight with an integrated voltage source. The flashlight holder has electric contacts which are couplable to the voltage source of the flashlight, and the contacts are connected to the electric consumer.

Abstract: An animal guide device, such as a leash assembly, includes a body part that can be placed on the body of the animal, for example a collar, a harness or a head piece, and a leash that can be attached to the body part. The pulling force exerted by the animal is determined by way of an in-line force measuring device. To limit the amount of pulling force exerted on the person leading the animal a signal generator or a tone generator is activated when a given pulling force is exceeded. The generator(s) can generate sound waves that are either only detected by the animal or are detected by the animal and by the person leading the animal. Alternatively, a spraying device can be activated through the signal generator. The animal guide device according to the invention is designed specifically for domestic animals, preferably for dogs.
