20100307394 | VOLUMETRIC METERING SYSTEM WITH SECTIONAL SHUT-OFF - A volumetric metering system for a seeding machine is provided with movable gates disposed downstream from the meter roller but before the product enters a distribution system to selectively stop the flow of product through sections of the metering system. By placing the shut-off gate after the meter but before product enters the distribution system, there will not be a delay in stoppage of product flow while the meter empties of product. Furthermore, by locating the gate before the distribution system, the metered product is not mixed with the air stream or with additional products, causing a need for product redirection into a pressurized tank or separation of multiple products. | 12-09-2010 |
20110258811 | Hinge Assembly For Frame Having Two Pivot Axes - A hinge assembly with two pivot axes is provided for a folding frame. One pivot axis, a working pivot axis, allows the outer wing frame to rotate while in operation to follow the ground contours by rotating relative to the adjacent frame section without creating any interference between adjacent tools mounted to the frame sections. The second pivot axis is a folding pivot axis above the frame and about which the outer wing frame rotates to fold the outer wing into the transport position. This hinge assembly when used on a five section implement frame allows the outer wing frame to both follow the ground contour and to fold into an acceptable transport position. | 10-27-2011 |
20130134012 | CONVEYOR SUPPORT AND PRODUCT CART WITH CONVEYOR SUPPORT - A product cart has a frame and one or more tanks forming compartments each having an opening at the upper end for receiving product. The cart includes a conveyor support having a swing arm with a first end pivotally mounted to the frame for motion generally horizontally between storage and use positions, a shift assembly mounted to a second end of the swing arm, and a mounting bracket assembly coupled to the shift assembly. Finally a conveyor is coupled to the mounting bracket assembly. The swing arm is constructed as a parallel linkage having first and second links which form a four-bar parallel linkage with the frame and with the shift assembly to maintain the shift assembly in a fixed orientation relative to the frame as the swing arm is moved. The shift assembly is operable to move the mounting bracket assembly between lowered and raised positions. | 05-30-2013 |
20130134013 | CONVEYOR SHIFT ASSEMBLY AND PRODUCT CART WITH CONVEYOR SHIFT ASSEMBLY - A product cart has a frame and one or more tanks forming compartments each having an opening at the upper end for receiving product. The cart includes a conveyor support having a swing arm with a first end pivotally mounted to the frame for motion generally horizontally between storage and use positions, a shift assembly mounted to a second end of the swing arm, and a mounting bracket assembly coupled to the shift assembly. Finally a conveyor is coupled to the mounting bracket assembly. The swing arm is constructed as a parallel linkage having first and second links which form a four-bar parallel linkage with the frame and with the shift assembly to maintain the shift assembly in a fixed orientation relative to the frame as the swing arm is moved. The shift assembly is operable to move the mounting bracket assembly between lowered and raised positions. | 05-30-2013 |
20130161034 | TOWED IMPLEMENT WITH A STEERING SYSTEM HAVING BOTH WHEEL ASSEMBLIES AND COULTERS - An implement, adapted to be towed by a vehicle, has a frame and a plurality of ground engaging tools carried by the frame. Support wheel assemblies carried by the frame are moveable relative the frame to raise and lower the frame between working and non-working positions in which in the working position, the tools engage the ground, and in the non-working position, the tools do not engage the ground. Each wheel assembly is mounted for rotation about a respective wheel steering axis. Coulters are also mounted to the frame and are engagable with the ground only in the working position of the frame. Each coulter is mounted to the frame for rotation about a respective coulter steering axis. Finally, a steering mechanism is operable to turn the wheel assemblies and the coulters each about their respective steering axes to steer the implement. | 06-27-2013 |

20130135081 | Systems And Methods For Authenticating Objects Using IR - Systems and methods authenticate an object using IR. IR is projected at a first wavelength onto the object and a first image of the object is captured during the projection of the IR. The object is authenticated by processing the first image to detect IR fluorescence from an IR fluorescing material incorporated into the object in response to the projected IR, where presence of the IR fluorescence within the first image indicates authentication of the object. | 05-30-2013 |
20140152840 | Systems And Methods For Preventing Friendly Fire Through Infrared Recognition And Authentication - Systems and methods prevent friendly fire using infrared object recognition. An IR projector projects a beam of IR radiation at a first wavelength onto the object and an IR detector, having a field of view of the object, detects IR fluorescence from the object, where a wavelength of the fluorescence is a function of the first wavelength. The system includes a memory for storing software having machine readable instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform the steps of: (a) controlling the IR projector to generate IR at the first wavelength; (b) controlling the IR detector to capture the object fluorescence; and (c) identifying the object as friendly or non-friendly based upon the object fluorescence. The system further includes an inhibitor for preventing firing of a gun or missile when the object is identified as friendly. | 06-05-2014 |
20140362228 | Systems and Methods for Infrared Detection - A fluorescence detection system includes a light source for coupling with a mobile device and software, having machine readable instructions loadable into memory of the mobile device and executable by a processor of the mobile device, capable of: activating the light source in coordination with capturing one or more images using a camera of the mobile device; analyzing an image captured with the light source on with an image captured with the light source off, to detect a shift of intensity within a predetermined color range within the images; and identifying and authenticating objects by measuring the intensity shift within the images. | 12-11-2014 |
