1. A new and distinct variety of interspecific Prunus sp. tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is similar to \u2018Plumsweet IV\u2019 (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 16,461) interspecific tree by being self-unfruitful, by blooming during the mid season, and by producing fruit that is excellent in flavor, but is distinguished therefrom by producing fruit that is globose to ovate instead of oblong in shape, that has a less pronounced suture, that is yellow instead of mottled in skin color, and that matures about twenty-five days earlier.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A method for monitoring a sensed region of a pit floor of a dock leveler, the method comprising:
positioning a first sensor adjacent a first rear corner of the pit floor and a second sensor adjacent a second rear corner of the pit floor;
receiving a command to move a deck of the dock leveler from a stored upright position toward a range of operative positions;
monitoring the sensed region of the pit floor via the first sensor and the second sensor, where the first sensor is positioned relative to the second sensor such that at least a portion of a first sensing area monitored by the first sensor overlaps at least a portion of a second sensing area monitored by the second sensor, wherein monitoring the sensed region includes only detecting movement of a body in a direction away from at least one of first sensor or the second sensor; and
preventing the deck from moving toward the range of operative positions in response to detecting the body in the sensed region when the deck is in the stored upright position.
2. The method of claim 1, further comprising monitoring the sensed region prior to moving the deck within the range of operative positions.
3. The method of claim 1, further comprising directing each of the first and second sensors outwardly from a dock wall of the dock leveler and angled toward a middle portion of the pit floor.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein monitoring the sensed region comprises monitoring an area that is substantially similar to a width and a length of the deck.
5. The method of claim 1, further comprising disregarding a reaction signal provided by at least one of the first sensor or the second sensor when the deck is moving in the range of operative positions.
6. The method of claim 1, further comprising monitoring the sensed region prior to moving the deck toward the range of operative positions.
7. The method of claim 1, further comprising disregarding a reaction signal provided by at least one of the first sensor or the second sensor when the deck is moving in the range of operative positions to prevent false signals triggered by the at least one of the first sensor or the second sensor from interfering with the operation of the deck when the deck is moving in the range of operative positions.
8. A method for monitoring a sensed region of a pit floor of a dock leveler, the method comprising:
receiving a command to move a deck of the dock leveler from a stored upright position toward a range of operative positions;
monitoring the sensed region of the pit floor via at least one of a first sensor located in the pit floor or a second sensor located in the pit floor, where the first sensor is positioned relative to the second sensor such that at least a portion of a first sensing area monitored by the first sensor overlaps at least a portion of a second sensing area monitored by the second sensor, wherein monitoring the sensed region comprises only detecting movement of a body in a direction away from the least one of the first sensor or the second sensor; and
preventing the deck from moving toward the range of operative positions in response to detecting the body in the sensed region when the deck is in the stored upright position.
9. The method of claim 8, further comprising monitoring the sensed region prior to moving the deck within the range of operative positions.
10. The method of claim 8, wherein monitoring the sensed region comprises monitoring an area that is substantially similar to a width and a length of the deck.
11. The method of claim 8, further comprising disregarding a reaction signal provided by at least one of the first sensor or the second sensor when the deck is moving in the range of operative positions.
12. The method of claim 8, further comprising positioning the first sensor adjacent a first rear corner of the pit floor and the second sensor adjacent a second rear corner of the pit floor.
13. The method of claim 8, further comprising directing each of the first and second sensors outwardly from a dock wall of the dock leveler and angled toward a middle portion of the pit floor.
14. The method of claim 8, further comprising disregarding a reaction signal provided by at least one of the first sensor or the second sensor when the deck is moving in the range of operative positions to prevent false signals triggered by the at least one of the first sensor or the second sensor from interfering with the operation of the deck when the deck is moving in the range of operative positions.
