John Paul Lambert - Franksville WI, US
John Lee Thompson - Sun Prairie WI, US
Brian David Seegert - Hartford WI, US

Assignee:

Deere & Company - Moline IL

International Classification:

F16M 13/00

US Classification:

248429, 244131, 2973441

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a seat slide locator for a seat mount assembly on a tractor, riding mower, or off-road utility vehicle. The seat slide locator has a first end, a second end, and a raised portion dimensioned to slidingly fit in a guide slot in the seat support. Each end has an aperture through which the seat securing member may be inserted. The seat slide locator provides a simple, economical component that helps maintain the seat securing members properly aligned and positioned so that the assembly can slide within the guide slot as the seat position is manually adjusted.

US Classification:

4554561, 340 81, 342387

Abstract:

A technique for determining the position of a mobile device includes receiving at the mobile device a set of time-slotted messages from a respective set of reference devices. Each of the time-slotted messages contains a slot ID indicating the assigned time slot in which it was broadcast. The slot ID is used to determine the time of transmission of each of the time-slotted messages received at the mobile device, and the position of the mobile device is determined via multi-lateration based on the time of flight of the time-slotted messages and known positions of the reference devices. According to another approach, the mobile device receives a set of ADS-B messages from a respective set of SBS ground stations. The time of transmission of each of the ADS-B messages is supplied in the ADS-B message itself or in a subsequent message and used to determined the position of the mobile device.

International Classification:

G01S 1/24

US Classification:

342387

Abstract:

A technique for determining the position of a mobile device includes receiving messages from respective mobile reference devices. Each of the messages is broadcast beginning at one of several predetermined message start opportunity (MSO) times that have known timings relative to a reference time. Each of the messages contains a MSO value identifying the MSO time at which transmission of the message started. The MSO value is used to determine the time of transmission of each of the messages received at the mobile device, and the position of the mobile device is determined via multi-lateration. According to another approach, the mobile device receives a set of ADS-B messages from a respective set of mobile reference devices. The time of transmission of each of the ADS-B messages is supplied in the ADS-B message itself or in a subsequent message and used to determine the position of the mobile device.

Assignee:

Fansteel Inc. - North Chicago IL

International Classification:

B32B 1504
B32B 702

US Classification:

428212

Abstract:

A process for increasing the resistance to wear of the surface of hard metal parts subject to wear, such as a cutting blade of metal cutting tools, and the product which results from the process, which includes coating the surface of the hard metal, for example, cemented carbide articles with a first layer comprised of one or more layers of a metallic carbide or nitride in a total thickness ranging from 0. 01 to 10. mu. m, a second layer comprised of one or more layers of a refractory oxide, such as an oxide of aluminum, zirconium, silicon, calcium, magnesium, titanium, and hafnium, and stabilized zirconium oxide in a total thickness ranging from 0. 5 to 10. mu. m, and depositing over the refractory oxide coating a third layer comprised of one or more layers of a nitride, carbonitride, oxynitride, oxycarbide or oxycarbonitride and boride of such metals as titanium, zirconium, hafnium, aluminum and silicon in a total thickness ranging from 1 to 10. mu. m. The process may include transitional layers to optimize the adherence of the various layers.

International Classification:

B64D 47/08

G06T 7/60
G06K 9/46
G06K 9/52

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and apparatus for space surveillance are disclosed herein. In one or more embodiments, the disclosed method involves scanning, by at least one sensor on at least one satellite in inclined super-geostationary earth orbit (super-GEO), a raster scan over a field of regard (FOR). In one or more embodiments, the scanning is at a variable rate, which is dependent upon a target dwell time for detecting a target of interest. In at least one embodiment, the target dwell time is a function of a range from at least one sensor to the target of interest and a function of a solar phase angle. In some embodiments, the axis of inclination of the inclined super-GEO is a function of the solar phase angle.
