Ron Schwieters, product manager, Komatsu, says the company’s approach is unique in that it uses externally mounted cylinder sensors on the boom, stick and bucket. These are position sensors; there are IMUs in place in other locations on the machine. Compared to other designs using internal sensors, he says, Komatsu’s approach yields faster sensor response times and components that are easier to maintain. Schwieters says their system stores the entire bucket profile, not just the teeth. The semi-automatic system is active only when the bucket or other attachment is in contact with the design surface. Even when the semi-automatic is running, the operator runs the excavator as usual. The performance of the system enables the intelligent excavator to complete tasks that, in the past, would have required a dozer and excavator working together. Because the intelligent excavator can do much of what a dozer has done in the past, that dozer can now work in other areas of the project or on another project.

The First Round Finish Club thanks Mr. Lima for his work this evening. Lima gets an interview, he feels great and thanks God for his position right now. He talks us through the finish, thanks his boxing coach and feels that he got his legs under him and once he did he got that finish. He says he’s got three kids and petitions for a post fight bonus for Christmas.

The rest of the card is quietly solid as the all action Alex Oliveira battles Gunnar Nelson, Thiago Santos tries to continue his assault on the light heavyweight division, Olivier Aubin-Mercier takes on Gilbert Burns in what could be a sleeper bout for Fight of the Night honors, and Claudia Gadelha battles Nina Ansaroff for position in the strawweight division. Now it could turn out that these fights are duds in practice but on paper this is a solid offering.

ROUND TWO: Ansaroff lands an uppercut and a kick into a right hand. Gadelha tries a takedown but Ansaroff shucks her off. It’s clear that Gadelha is already slowing down a bit and Ansaroff is pressing forward. Leg kicks from Ansaroff, she’s managing the distance where Gadelha isn’t. Jabs from Ansaroff, Gadelha lands a right to the body but gets countered again. Gadelha is coming forward now but she’s following and can’t close distance, she’s not even feinting at this point. Calf kick from Ansaroff lands. That lead hand from Ansaroff is troubling Gadelha, who shoots a takedown and gets it into side control, she needed that badly. Ansaroff is trying to shrimp, and gets half guard back. They both fire punches to the head. Gadelha throws hammer fists to the body but she’s not doing much with this position yet. Gadelha stands but wont do anything else before the round ends.

The Skinny: “The best thing I ate this year by far was the Apple Croquette Salad at Brass Heart from their vegan tasting menu. The dish had this fantastic savory apple croquette along with crispy lettuce, rich apple butter, sweet apples and some different purees. I loved this dish so much because in the middle of this amazingly gastronomical restaurant lives this salad that tasted so familiar and comforting. I was so happy to find a restaurant with a vegan tasting menu and was surprised by how filling it was. The interior is glam but cozy and the service is spot on without being pretentious. Amazing!”

Over the rumble of the subway cars on the way back to Harlem (“What, you really think we can afford a car service?” an aide said), Teachout remarked at her shock at seeing in the Washington Post the week before a story about how the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., had gotten a key second-quarter revenue boost from the crown prince of Saudi Arabia. “I mean, an actual prince!” she said with a laugh. “The Constitution recognizes kings, princes and foreign potentates. This is just outrageous.”
