    Abstract: An embodiment includes a combine having a feeder housing for receiving harvested crop, a separating system for threshing the harvested crop to separate grain from residue, a grain bin for storing the separated grain, a bin level sensor for detecting grain in the grain bin; and a controller that controls the combine. The controller is configured to generate a usable operating range by discarding a selected range of values from an operating range of the bin level sensor, generate a shifted operating range by shifting the usable operating range by a shift value, receive a first value indicating a level of grain in the grain bin, generate a second value by shifting the first value by the shift value, and present the second value to an operator of the combine.

    Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving data indicating an object sensor associated with an object is within communication range of a vehicle sensor associated with a vehicle; determining, using a distance calculation algorithm, a distance between the object sensor and the vehicle sensor; identifying a zone, from a plurality of zones that are based upon distances from the vehicle sensor, associated with the determined distance between the object sensor and the vehicle sensor; and providing, based upon the identified zone, an output comprising an indication of the identified zone corresponding to a location of the object sensor. Other aspects are described and claimed.

    Abstract: An energy regeneration device which can regenerate energy of a working fluid discharged from an actuator while controlling a flow rate of the working fluid, and a work machine including the device. The regeneration device includes a boom cylinder, an inertial fluid container, an oil tank, an accumulator, a low-pressure-side opening/closing device, and a high-pressure-side opening/closing device. A calculation unit calculates an opening area of each of the low-pressure-side opening/closing device and the high-pressure-side opening/closing device in accordance with a desired flow rate of a hydraulic fluid discharged from the boom cylinder. A regeneration control unit adjusts an opening area of each of the low-pressure-side opening/closing device and the high-pressure-side opening/closing device, and selects alternately the low-pressure-side opening/closing device and the high-pressure-side opening/closing device as a destination with which the inertial fluid container communicates, to supply a discharged hydraulic fluid to an accumulator.

    Abstract: A vehicle for producing trenches in the ground is provided. The vehicle generally includes a chassis having a motor unit, a controllable digging device mounted on the chassis to dig a trench, and a controllable suctioning and collecting device configured to suction and collect rubble produced during the digging of the trench. The vehicle may include a driver station for the movement on the ground of the vehicle during a transfer phase, and a portable and remote control unit configured to enable an operator to remotely control the digging device, the suctioning and collecting device, and the advancing of the vehicle during digging in the course of a working phase.
