20130104785 | REMOTE ADJUSTMENT OF A ROW UNIT OF AN AGRICULTURAL DEVICE | 05-02-2013 |
20130112121 | DOWN AND/OR UP FORCE ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM - An agricultural device includes a number of row units that each includes a seed furrow opener that creates a furrow in the soil for seed placement. Each row unit is mounted to a toolbar of the device by means of a four-bar linkage which allows each row unit to move vertically to adjust to the contour of the soil independently of the other row units on the same toolbar. The four-bar linkages include one or more springs which work to transfer weight from the toolbar to the row unit. An actuator varies the tension in the spring thereby adjusting the down or up force applied to the row unit. | 05-09-2013 |

In some aspects, the system includes a processing unit, a frame, a furrow opener coupled to the frame for opening a furrow in soil, and a sensor in communication with the processing unit and adapted to sense a characteristic associated with seed planting. The sensor may generate a signal associated with the sensed characteristic and the processing unit may receive the signal. In some aspects, the sensed characteristic may be either a soil characteristic or a seed characteristic. Information associated with the sensed characteristic can be saved in memory for future use and to assist with more effective planting in the future. | 05-09-2013 |
20140352587 | SEED CHARACTERISTIC SENSOR - Seed meters, agricultural planters, and methods of planting seed are provided. Such meters, planters, and methods may include a housing defining a chamber, a seed disc rotatably coupled to the housing and at least partially positioned within the chamber with the seed disc adapted to engage a seed, and a sensor for detecting a characteristic of the seed after the seed disengages the seed disc and before the seed exits the seed meter. The sensor may be coupled to a seed chute of the seed meter and may detect a wide variety of seed characteristics such as seed position within the seed chute, seed size, and seed shape. The seed characteristic may be used to adjust operation of the seed meters, agricultural planters, and methods. In some instances, the adjustment may be manual. In other instances, the adjustment may be automatic. | 12-04-2014 |
20150066315 | REMOTE ADJUSTMENT OF A ROW UNIT OF AN AGRICULTURAL DEVICE - Agricultural devices, row unit adjustment systems, and methods of adjusting a depth of a furrow are provided. In some aspects, an agricultural device is adapted to plant seeds and includes a frame, a furrow opener coupled to the frame and adapted to cut a furrow including a depth, a sensor adapted to sense a characteristic associated with planting seeds and generate a signal associated with the sensed characteristic, and a processing unit receiving the signal associated with the sensed characteristic. The depth of the furrow is adjustable based on the signal associated with the sensed characteristic. Such characteristic may be a characteristic of the soil, a force applied to the agricultural device, or a position of a portion of the agricultural device. | 03-05-2015 |
20150073668 | DOWN AND/OR UP FORCE ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM - An agricultural device includes a number of row units that each includes a seed furrow opener that creates a furrow in the soil for seed placement. Each row unit is mounted to a toolbar of the device by means of a four-bar linkage which allows each row unit to move vertically to adjust to the contour of the soil independently of the other row units on the same toolbar. The four-bar linkages include one or more springs which work to transfer weight from the toolbar to the row unit. An actuator varies the tension in the spring thereby adjusting the down or up force applied to the row unit. | 03-12-2015 |

20090004964 | Vent With Attached Screen - An open ended box having a louvered panel, side panels and top and bottom panels extending from edges of the louvered panel defines a vent for use in a concrete block wall, brick wall or concrete wall. A screen of sheet metal with punched apertures is secured within the vent adjacent the interior surface of the louvered panel. The open end of the vent may be covered with a louvered panel or panel for supporting duct work extending from the vent. Right angle flanges may extend from the sides and bottom of the vent to position the vent in spaced relationship with adjacent elements of the wall and accommodate placement of grout therebetween. A nail or screw extending through each of the side panels adjacent elements of the wall may be used to positionally secure the vent. Flanges extending from the edges of the vent opening serve to be placed adjacent corresponding surfaces of the wall in which the vent is located. | 01-01-2009 |
20090071087 | GARAGE DOOR VENT WITH SCREEN - A louvered vent assembly having a spline retained insect screen is mounted in a garage door between interior and exterior frames to provide ventilation and prevent intrusion of insects. | 03-19-2009 |
20090148236 | FLOOD AND COMBUSTION AIR VENT - A flood and combustion air vent includes a louvered panel supporting a rodent screen for placement across an opening in a wall or door of an enclosed space in a building. The apertures in the louvered panel and rodent screen are sized to accommodate ingress and egress of flood water at a rate of water flow sufficient to prevent destructive hydrostatic forces from acting upon either the exterior or interior surfaces of the wall. Additionally, the rodent screen will prevent intrusion of rodents, vermin and reptiles into the enclosed space. | 06-11-2009 |
20110225912 | BLOCK WALL AND GARAGE DOOR FLOOD AND COMBUSTION AIR VENT - A flood and combustion air vent includes a louvered panel supporting a rodent screen for placement across an opening in a wall or door of an enclosed space in a building. The apertures in the louvered panel and rodent screen are sized to accommodate ingress and egress of flood water at a rate of water flow sufficient to prevent destructive hydrostatic forces from acting upon either the exterior or interior surfaces of the wall or door. Additionally, the rodent screen will prevent intrusion of rodents, vermin and reptiles into the enclosed space. | 09-22-2011 |
