LELY PATENT N.V.

Methods and compositions for monitoring the physiological state of animals, diagnosing diseases, and administering therapeutic interventions.

Utilizing optical sensors and image processing to detect, classify, and analyze crops, terrain features, or harvested material to inform automated machine actions and decision-making.

Innovations in vacuum cleaner components and systems for efficiently separating, compacting, and containing collected dust, dirt, or lint. This often involves multi-stage filtration, cyclonic separation, or specialized disposal mechanisms to improve air quality and ease of maintenance.

Innovations in the mechanical design and functionality of cutting, collecting, or processing components directly interacting with crops or ground cover.

Technologies for efficiently collecting, conveying, separating, and managing harvested materials, including quality control, blending for desired parameters, and processing of biomass.

Design and management of battery packs and power systems for electric or hybrid outdoor agricultural and landscaping machinery, focusing on capacity, longevity, and modularity.

Membrane and depth filtration for industrial separation, gas purification, and bioprocess clarification including cross-flow, dead-end, tangential flow filtration, and oil/water separation.

Systems and mechanisms that allow autonomous cleaning robots or devices to return to a base station for automated tasks such as mop washing, dustbin emptying, fluid replenishment, or cleaning of tool heads without human intervention.

Methods and systems for improving the quality of video streams, generating intermediate frames, or continuously locating and following objects within a sequence of images, even under occlusion.

Dynamically adjusting machine parameters such as cutting height, travel speed, or power output in response to real-time environmental conditions, crop characteristics, or operational goals.

Technologies for non-contact measurement of distance, position, or 3D properties of a target object, often involving active emission and detection of light or radio frequency waves, including target tracking.
