Abstract: Described herein are systems and method for reducing the probability of a collision between a first object, whose trajectory is substantially control led by an operator input command, and a second object. In one embodiment suc h a method includes the steps of receiving an operator input command indicat ive of first control data; generating model data indicative of a virtual con struct of the physical environment proximal the first object; processing the first control data to predict future dynamics of the first object in the en vironment; determining whether, on the basis of the predicted dynamics and t he model data, the first object is predicted to collide with a second object in the environment; defining second control data for which the first object is not predicted to collide with the second object in the environment; and providing the second control data to a controller coupled to the first objec t such that the first object is controlled in accordance with the second con trol data for substantially avoiding the collision of the first object with the second object. In some embodiments, such systems or methods are implemen ted in respect of heavy machinery. For example, in one embodiment the first object is a shovel component of a shovel machine, and the second object migh t be another part of the machine (such as a dipper) or an object distinct fr om the machine.

Title: Method of creation and visualization of an optically invisible mark
Inventor: NIZIENKO YURI KONSTANTINOVICH
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2006-08-04
Abstract: The invention relates to methods for recording-reading visually hidden information and can be used for visualising hidden images (marks) which are used for identifying an object and for protecting it against unauthorised reproduction (counterfeit). The inventive method consists in pre-polishing the surface of the object of interest and in forming an optically hidden image on the polished surface by modifying at least one area of said surface, thereby modifying the surface energy of the modified areas and in simultaneously modifying the adhesion value thereof which, like a surface energy, depends on the degree of local unbalance of surface charges on the surface of interest. The inventive method also consists in visualising said mark image by forming a metastable medium in the zone of said surface of the object of interest and in obtaining, by means of said medium, the mark image in the form of different structures formed by the particles of the stable phase of the metastable medium on the areas having different surface energy. The inventive method is characterised in that the surface of interest which is provided with modified areas is electrified and cleaned by friction prior to carrying out a process for visualising an optically hidden mark image.

Title: Agricultural implement having folding draft links
Inventor: FRIGGSTAD TERRANCE A
IPC: A01B73/06
Filed: 2009-05-05
Abstract: An agricultural implement includes a hitch boom to which a pair of wing booms is pivotably connected. The wing booms are designed to fold forward from an extended position to a transport position. The wing booms are supported above a surface by wheels that provide the aforementioned support when the wing booms are in an extended position as well as the transport position. Maintaining surface contact of the wheels in both positions reduces the load placed on the hitch to which the hitch boom is coupled as well as the hitch boom itself. Multi-link draft links are connected between the hitch boom and the wing booms to provide support for the wing booms when the wing booms are in the extended position. The relative length of the draft links dictates how far the hitch telescopes when the wing booms are folded to the stowed or transport position.

Patent CA-2667752-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MORCK-HAMILTON KARIN
IPC: D21H21/40
Filed: 2007-09-24
Abstract: A soil and/or moisture resistant secure document and a method for producing such a secure document, are provided. The inventive method preferably employs a size press or other similar device to force a soil and/or moisture resistant formulation into the pores of the substrate and to remove excess formulation from opposing surfaces thereof. Soil and/or moisture resistant formulations when applied this way instead of by way of standard coating techniques do not obscure optically variable effects generated by non-porous OVDs that may be employed on or within these secure documents. In addition, thin layers of fibers (e.g., papermaking fibers) overlying and thus embedding portions of security devices in windowed secure documents that have been rendered soil and/or moisture resistant in accordance with this invention demonstrate increased durability.

Abstract: A GPS receiver in one embodiment includes an antenna which receives GPS  signals at an RF frequency from in view satellites; a downconverter coupled to the antenna for reducing the RF frequency of the received GPS signals to an intermediate frequency (IF); a digitizer coupled to the downconverter and sampling the IF  GPS  signals at a predetermined rate to produce sampled IF GPS signals; a memory coupled to the digitizer storing the sampled IF GPS signals (a snapshot of GPS  signals); and a digital signal processor (DSP) coupled to the memory and operating under stored instructions thereby performing Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) operations on the sampled IF GPS signals to provide pseudorange information. These operations typically also include preprocessing and postprocessing of the GPS signals.  After a snapshot of data is taken, the receiver front end is powered down. The GPS  receiver in one embodiment also includes other power management features and includes, in another embodiment the capability to correct for errors in its local oscillator which is used to sample the GPS signals. The calculation speed of pseudoranges, and sensitivity of operation, is enhanced by the transmission of the Doppler frequency shifts of in view satellites to the receiver from an external source, such as a basestation in one embodiment of the invention.
