Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A boom is attached to an application vehicle for applying a product during an agricultural application. The boom includes one or more sections that can be dynamically adjusted to satisfy one or more adjustment criteria. A boom controller communicates actuation commands to a boom adjustment system to dynamically adjust the shape of the boom.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The following is claimed: 1. A method for adjusting a shape of a boom that is adjustably coupled to an application vehicle, the boom having a boom section, the method comprising: receiving a current motion of the application vehicle from a motion sensor; anticipating, based on the current motion, that an adjustment criterion will not be satisfied at a projected coordinate corresponding to a portion of the boom; determining one or more latency values by referencing a memory com…
