By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – A patent by the inventors Adcock, Leon (Chillicothe, IL, US), Brewer, Michael Alan (Metamora, IL, US), Joustra, Kevin (Juneau, WI, US), Noble, Michael H. (Peoria, IL, US), filed on August 3, 2021, w as published online on October 1, 2024, according to news reporting originating from Alexandria, Virginia, by NewsRx correspondents. Patent number 12103119 is assigned to Caterpillar (Peoria, Illinois, United Stat es). The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: “Earthmoving machines, such as graders, are used to perform displacement, distribution, and leveling of material, such as soil. A grader typically employs a blade assembly that includes a blade and a cutting edge that is attached to the blade. As the grader moves along a surface of mater ial, the cutting edge penetrates the surface to permit the blade assembly to dis place and level the material. During grading operations, the blade assembly scra pes the surface and is also impacted by debris, such as soil, gravel, rock, and organic material (e.g., plant material), resulting in wear to the cutting edge a nd/or the blade. Accordingly, frequent replacement of the cutting edge and/or th e blade may be necessary. However, replacing the cutting edge and/or the blade i s difficult and time consuming, thereby negatively impacting efficiency, a speed of grading operations, and/or usability of the grader.
