    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring the pressure in a device for the pneumatic adjustment of a seat in a transportation means, in particular in a motor vehicle. The device comprises a plurality of cushions (101, 102, . . . , 105) which are able to be filled with air and which are connected via respective valves (201, 202, . . . , 205) to a common preliminary pressure volume (3), wherein a pressure sensor (4) is provided for measuring the pressure (p) in the preliminary pressure volume (3) and the preliminary pressure volume (3) is coupled to a compressor (6) for supplying compressed air without a non-return valve being connected therebetween. For the purpose of monitoring the pressure in a respective cushion (101, 102, . . . , 105), a predefined pressure is set in the preliminary pressure volume by way of operation of the compressor (6) and/or by way of air discharge from the preliminary pressure volume (3) via at least one leak, with the valve (201, 202, . . . , 205) between the respective cushion (101, 102, . . . , 105) and the preliminary pressure volume (3) closed, wherein the predefined pressure deviates from a target pressure (p1, p2, . . . , p5) in the respective cushion (101, 102, . . . , 105) by at most 10% of the target pressure and/or at most 50 hPa. After the setting of the predefined pressure, the valve (101, 102, . . . , 105) between the respective cushion (101, 102, . . . , 105) and the preliminary pressure volume (3) is opened and the pressure in the preliminary pressure volume (3) is measured via the pressure sensor (4). If the measured pressure (p) deviates from the target pressure (p1, p2, . . . , p5), the measured pressure (p) is set to the target pressure (p1, p2, . . . , p5) by way of operation of the compressor (6) and/or by way of air discharge from the preliminary pressure volume (3) via the at least one leak.

    Abstract: A method of compacting soil via a base machine, the base machine having ram material provided at at least one cable and having a regulation/control apparatus, includes raising the ram material from the land area to be compacted, with a zero point being stored at which no slackline is present. The method further includes raising the ram material to a lift height, carrying out a compaction procedure by dropping the ram material from a drop height onto the land area to be compacted, again raising the ram material from the land area to be compacted, with a further zero point being stored at which no slackline is present, determining and storing a compaction progress, and repeating the previous steps until the compaction progresses of each of a predefined number of consecutive compaction procedures are smaller than or equal to a predefined minimum progress.

    Abstract: A gauge wheel load sensor for an agricultural planter having a row unit that includes a pivotably mounted gauge wheel and a down pressure controller for controlling the down pressure on at least a portion of the row unit. The load sensor includes a mechanical element mounted for movement in response to the downward force applied to the row unit; a fluid-containing device containing a movable element coupled to the mechanical element for changing the fluid pressure in response to the movement of the mechanical element; and a transducer coupled to the fluid-containing device for producing an output signal in response to changes in the fluid pressure. An energy storage device, such as an accumulator, may be coupled to the fluid-containing device for receiving a limited amount of fluid in response to changes in the fluid pressure to damp pressure spikes in the output signal of the transducer.

    Abstract: A controlled lean system for a tree feller-buncher includes a sensor configured to measure an orientation of a boom coupled to the tree feller-buncher, and a felling head operably connected to the boom. A controller is operable to detect a cut tree carried by the felling head and to estimate a quantity of tree lean needed to reduce torsional load during rotation of the boom while carrying the cut tree based at least in part on the measured orientation of the boom.

    Abstract: Tension meter (82) for measuring a mechanical tension (F1) along a longitudinal direction (L) between a first element (84) and a second element (80) deployed in a well containing a fluid (50) having a fluid pressure, the tension meter comprising:—a bar (108) comprising a first portion (152), a second portion (154), and a measurement portion (156), and—a hollow member (110) defining a first chamber (169) surrounding the measurement portion, the bar being free to expand within the hollow member under the mechanical tension (F1) to be measured. The measurement portion includes at least one strain gauge (172). The tension meter includes first sealing elements for keeping the first chamber at a first chamber pressure, the measurement portion being subject to a compression force (F2) due to a difference between the fluid pressure and the first chamber pressure. The tension meter includes means for converting the fluid pressure into a traction force (F3) applied on the second portion (154), wherein the compression force (F2) and the traction force (F3) compensate. Related subassembly and method.
