This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,856,893.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent for the concave support and adjustment system was limited to its application in combine harvesters. However, this invention addresses the need for adaptable and efficient processing systems in other industries, where crop analysis, yield optimization, debris collection, organic waste processing, and food product separation are crucial. The new claims overcome the limitations of the original patent by applying the core technology to entirely different fields.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce a novel application of the concave support and adjustment system, extending its use beyond combine harvesters to diverse industries. The inventive step lies in the recognition of the system's adaptability and its potential to solve specific problems in these new fields, which were not originally considered.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the invention could include variations in the concave design, material selection, and adjustment mechanisms to suit specific industry requirements. Additional sensors, software, or automation components could be integrated to enhance the system's performance and adaptability.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The invention has significant commercial potential in various industries, including precision farming, vertical farming, robotic lawn mowing, composting, and automated food processing. The system's adaptability and efficiency make it an attractive solution for companies seeking to optimize their processes and improve productivity.
