Latest Patents
One of Heitsman's latest patents is a tree processing system. This system includes a tree processing head and a controller. The tree processing head features a header frame, a motor, a saw, an arm, and a sensor. The saw is designed to cut a tree when driven by the motor. It engages with the tree from a first position to a second position, defining a cutting zone in between. The sensor detects the saw operation speed or current. The controller, coupled to the sensor, determines whether the second position is reached based on an increase in the saw operation speed or current. Upon reaching the second position, the controller transmits a resting signal to the tree processing head to perform a resting operation.
Another notable patent is related to machine control using biometric recognition. This pattern recognition system receives an image captured by an image capture device of an operator, allowing for identification. Based on the identified operator, operator information is accessed, and a control signal is generated to control a mobile machine.
