A connector assembly for a plant support structure comprising of a hub, a compressible sleeve and a second piece engaged with the hub is disclosed. The hub contains a pass through hole at the center to allow passage of a support member. It also contains receptacles perpendicular to the axis of the central pass through hole to receive the cross members of the plant support structure. The reversible engagement features utilized to secure hub to the second piece allow vertical repositioning of the cross members supporting multiple plants.

In some implementations, a remote monitoring system may receive historical usage data associated with a plurality of engines that are associated with a plurality of respective machines. The remote monitoring system may train an engine monitoring model to identify a usage profile that indicates potential failure by identifying an operational range of an operating parameter according to an operating profile. The remote monitoring system may receive, from a machine, usage data that includes a measurement of the operating parameter for an engine of the machine, and determine that the engine is configured to operate according to the operating profile. The remote monitoring system may predict, based on determining that the engine is configured to operate according to the operating profile and based on the measurement and the operational range, that the engine is likely to fail within a certain time period.

A tray configured to support a fuel injector wiring harness is disclosed. The tray may include a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a bottom wall extending between the first end and the second end, and the bottom wall may be configured to support the fuel injector wiring harness above a rocker arm support. Moreover, the tray may include a tab outwardly extending from the tray, and the tab may include a top surface, a bottom surface opposite the top surface, and an aperture extending between the top surface and the bottom surface. The aperture may be configured to circumscribe a stud upwardly extending from the rocker arm support.
