Allan Bergen, Drake CA

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110176882HEADER TRAILER - A trailer apparatus for transporting a harvest header has a main beam on wheels. A bed assembly is pivotally attached to the main beam above the main beam such that when one side of the bed assembly moves up, an opposite side moves down. The bed assembly is supported at a desired tilt angle by adjustable tilt. The bed assembly includes a movable side extension along one side that is movable through a range from an extended position to a retracted position and can be releasably locked in the range. The tilt angle can be adjusted independently of the position of the side extension. A middle portion of the main beam and bed assembly can be laterally offset to form a recess to accommodate lift arms of a self propelled swather when the swather header is loaded on the bed assembly.07-21-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20130112124Tool Control System for Agricultural Seeders - A seeder includes a frame on ground wheels defining tool bars for seeding elements spaced across the frame. Each element includes a pair of parallel arms connected to the tool bar bracket forming a parallel linkage for up and down movement of a support arm connected at a rear end and carrying the packer wheel. A spring applies a downward spring force on the parallel linkage to apply a downward force on the packer wheel so that the spring force increases as the parallel arms pivot upwardly and decreases as the parallel arms pivot downwardly. A control device is arranged to raise and lower the tool bar in response to a detected value of a sensor so as to change the angle of the parallel linkage and change the spring force. A cam controlled double rack adjustment of the height of the opener allows the user to change seeding depth.05-09-2013

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100101145HYDROPONIC SYSTEM - A hydroponic system comprising an upper panel adapted to carry plants to be grown in said hydroponic system, a lower panel arranged below said upper panel to form a space between said panels such as to allow for roots of said plants to extend through said upper panel into said space. Said panels each comprise a downwardly inclined panel surface, and a nutrient solution dispenser arranged such as to allow for distribution of a nutrient solution between said upper and lower panels. Said panel surfaces are of such a shape that at least three, preferably at least four, tangential planes to each said panel surfaces can be defined, none of said tangential planes of each panel surface being parallel or coincident.04-29-2010

20100134616COLOR MASK FOR AN IMAGE SENSOR OF A VEHICLE CAMERA - A color mask for an image sensor of a vehicle camera has a matrix arrangement made up of first filter pixels and second filter pixels. In every horizontal row and/or every vertical column, first filter pixels and second filter pixels are situated, the first filter pixels and the second filter pixels having different transmission behaviors. The second filter pixels have a more comprehensive transmission behavior, e.g., completely transparent to optical light. The first filter pixels are preferably red.06-03-2010

20080262733Method and system for creating a flexible GIS data collection network - Embodiments of the present invention recite a method and system for creating a flexible Geographic Information Systems (GIS) network. In one embodiment, a data dictionary is assigned to a mobile electronic device. In one embodiment, the data dictionary comprises a definition of at least one desired GIS feature type which was not originally intended to be recordable by the mobile electronic device. The method further comprises uploading the data dictionary onto the mobile electronic device.10-23-2008

20110123090METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINING A CONTOUR AND A CENTER OF AN OBJECT - A method for determining a contour of an object in a digital image includes determining a preliminary object center and determining contour candidate image points. The contour candidate image points are determined as image points on a plurality of paths leading away from a preliminary object center by detecting a change from a first section to a second section on a feature space based on the image point value range of the digital image or by detecting the exceeding of a predetermined strength of a feature change in the feature space, wherein the contour candidate image points have a distance to the preliminary or to an improved object center and are ordered according to a polar angle. Further, the method includes determining zones of neighboring contour candidate image points within which a change of the distance of the contour candidate image points lies above a threshold value and an elimination of contour candidate image points which lie between the zones of neighboring contour candidate image points. Finally, a determination of the contour is executed on the basis of the remaining contour candidate image points.05-26-2011
20110288373SENSOR SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMAGE CAPTURE OF AN OBJECT - In a sensor system and a corresponding method for image capture of an object, an imaging sensor is arranged in a recording area of an optical sensor, the recording area being defined for the object, in such a way as to be essentially stationary relative to said object. By means of an evaluation unit, relative movements between the imaging sensor and the object can be derived from the recorded image data of the optical sensor, and a three-dimensional object image can be reconstructed from the imaging data as a function of the relative movements. When determining the relative movements, it is in particular possible as well to detect relative movements caused by the object's own motion which can be taken into account when reconstructing the object image. As a result, a high image quality of the object image is achieved.11-24-2011
20120154562METHOD AND DEVICE FOR JOINING A PLURALITY OF INDIVIDUAL DIGITAL IMAGES TO FORM A TOTAL IMAGE - In a device and a corresponding method for joining a plurality of individual digital images to form a total image, a plurality of features is determined in a first individual image by means of a selection unit using a feature-based algorithm and then tracked in a second individual image by means of a tracking unit. A transformation matrix, with which the individual images are joined in an output unit to form the total image, is calculated from the determined feature correspondences in a transformation unit. The individual images can be joined in real time and with a high degree of accuracy by means of the feature-based algorithm in combination with a robust algorithm to calculate the transformation matrix.06-21-2012

20110026788METHOD AND DEVICE FOR THE SEGMENTATION OF A LESION - In a method and a device for the segmentation of a lesion, a quantity of candidate regions for the lesion is determined proceeding from a starting region by means of a candidate unit. The candidate regions are arranged substantially concentrically to the starting region. A candidate region closest to the lesion is selected automatically by means of a selection unit or manually by means of a correction unit from the quantity of candidate regions. The selected candidate region is a reliable and robust basis for a classification of the lesion.02-03-2011
