20080260786 | Process for making encapsulated particles - Method for preparing an active-containing starch matrix and the free flowing, dry powder that results from such a process. The active ingredients can be released (deposited) onto a surface by normal triggering mechanisms, which include the action of a liquid or by friction or rubbing. The fixative systems described herein provide the ability to control high load levels and protection of the active while still being able to delivery this to a substrate when triggered. Additionally, ingredients incompatible and reactive with each other can be blended together as sold/used as a one piece system and no reactions will occur until the matrix is broken or triggered. | 10-23-2008 |

20090115222 | CARGO BOX FOR UTILITY VEHICLE - A cargo box for a utility vehicle has a metal floor and composite polymer side panels.

Stiffening members resist rearward movement of the side panels that could result in a gap between the cargo box and tail gate. | 05-07-2009 |
20100192819 | Seeding Machine With Seed Delivery System - A seed delivery system for use in a seeding or planting machine that removes the seed from a seed meter by capturing the seed therefrom. The delivery system then moves the seed down to a lower discharge point and accelerates the seed horizontally rearward to a speed approximately equal to the forward travel speed of the seeding machine such that the seed, when discharged has a low or zero horizontal velocity relative to the ground. Rolling of the seed in the trench is thus reduced. Furthermore, as the seed only has a short drop from the outlet to the bottom of the seed trench, the seed has little vertical speed to induce bounce. The delivery system uses a brush belt to capture, move and accelerate the seed. By capturing the seed and moving it from the meter to the discharge, the seed is held in place relative to other seeds and the planter row unit. As a result, the seeds are isolated from row unit dynamics thereby maintaining seed spacing. | 08-05-2010 |
20100192821 | SEED DELIVERY APPARATUS WITH SENSOR AND MOVING MEMBER TO CAPTURE AND MOVE SEED TO A LOWER OUTLET OPENING - A seed delivery apparatus has a moving member that captures and entraps the seed from the seed meter and physically moves the seed from the meter to the lower outlet opening. In so doing, the seed engages and travels along an interior surface of the seed delivery apparatus. A seed sensor is mounted on the housing wall such that the seed passes directly in front of the sensor. The sensor has both the light emitting devices and the photo-sensitive elements on the same wall of the delivery apparatus, or on two opposed walls. The moving member prevents ambient light, dust and dirt from entering the housing and impacting the sensor output signal. | 08-05-2010 |

The delivery system uses a brush belt to capture, move and accelerate the seed. By capturing the seed and moving it from the meter to the discharge, each seed is held in place relative to other seeds and the planter row unit. As a result, the seeds are isolated from row unit dynamics thereby maintaining seed spacing. | 02-14-2013 |
