20120234565 | IMPLEMENT AND METHOD FOR PREPARING AND MAINTAINING DIRT ARENA FOOTING - An implement is disclosed for smoothing grounds that include at least a compact base having a top surface and a lesser compact footing on top of the base. The implement includes a frame having a front portion, a central portion, a rear portion, and a width. Wheels are mounted for rotation directly to the frame, and tools are carried by the frame for engagement with the ground. The tools include a specially shaped cleaving blade connected to the rear portion of the frame by a tool support, which securely connects the cleaving blade at predetermined heights. The blade has a front shaving edge and a rear compressing edge. The blade extends straight across the width of the frame so as to maximize the drag displaced on the frame during use of the blade. Arrangement of the wheels directly on the frame provides optimal stabilization of the frame during operation of the blade. | 09-20-2012 |
20130264080 | SELF-PROPELLED SOIL WORKING MACHINES - Unique self-propelled soil working machines are disclosed. In certain exemplary embodiments the self propelled soil working machine includes a tool carrier which is actively adjustable to provide variable downward force on a soil working tool via a suspension element which is further passively responsive to accommodate motion of the tool in response to external force. In certain exemplary embodiments, the tool carrier is configured to adjust the working depth and pitch of the tool. Further embodiments, forms, objects, features, advantages, aspects, and benefits shall become apparent from the following description and figures. | 10-10-2013 |
20150107861 | GRADING TOOLS FOR WORK MACHINES AND OPERATION THEREOF - One embodiment includes a grading tool structured for attachment to a work machine. The grading tool includes a frame, ground contacting wheels coupled with the frame, a comb coupled with the frame and extending from a first end of the frame, and a coupling member coupled with the frame and structured to be accessible from a second end of the frame. When the ground contacting wheels are in contact with the ground a depth of penetration of the comb into the ground surface is adjustable by changing the pitch of the grading tool. | 04-23-2015 |

20130024055 | ADAPTIVE ENERGY MANAGEMENT IN A HYBRID VEHICLE - A hybrid vehicle includes an engine, a battery module, a motor, and a controller. The controller commands a target SOC of the battery module and controls the engine or the motor to charge/discharge the battery module based on the target SOC. The controller is configured to record drive information during a drive route and adjust the target SOC during the drive route based at least in part on the drive information recorded. A method includes prompting a user to select a drive route, recording drive information during the drive route, adjusting the target SOC based at least in part on the recorded drive information, and controlling the engine and/or the motor to charge/discharge the battery module during the drive route in accordance with adjusted target SOC. | 01-24-2013 |
