The system includes a harvesting implement having an adjustable height, a control system operably connected to the harvesting implement to adjust the height of the harvesting implement with respect to the ground and a sensor configured to determine a ground speed. The control system alters the rate of the height adjustment in response to the ground speed. A method and agricultural vehicle are also disclosed. | 11-18-2010 |
20100287900 | IMPLEMENT HEIGHT CONTROL ADJUSTMENT ON AGRICULTURAL VEHICLES - An adjustable height implement system for an agricultural vehicle. A harvesting implement has an adjustable height. A control system is operably connected in a first operating mode to the harvesting implement to adjust the height of the harvesting implement with respect to the ground. The control system is operably connected in a second operating mode to the harvesting implement to maintain at least a predetermined distance between the harvesting implement and the ground. The second operating mode is engaged in response to the agricultural vehicle satisfying at least one predetermined vehicle operating parameter. | 11-18-2010 |

20090019829 | Collapsing on-board crop receiver and duct of a cotton harvester - Apparatus and a method for collapsing an on-board crop receiver of a harvester to a transport position, utilizing a remotely releasable locking element to allow telescopic collapsing or retracting the receiver without entering the receiver, and powered apparatus for positively collapsing a duct extending between a row unit of the harvester and an inlet opening of the receiver. The duct is telescopically retractable at an inclined angle by a similarly inclined duct driver to a height about equal to that of the receiver when in the transport position, so as to be freed from the receiver and any associated hood extending outwardly therefrom associated with the inlet opening. Using crop compactor apparatus within the interior of the receiver, the compactor can be lowered and the locking mechanism unlocked, and then the compactor operated to telescopically collapse or retract the receiver. The receiver can be extended in the reverse order. | 01-22-2009 |
20090078130 | UNLOADER WITH LOOSE COTTON RETAINING APPARATUS FOR A COTTON COMPACTOR - An unloader for a cotton compacting structure such as a module builder, including loose cotton retaining apparatus configured and operable for retaining loose cotton carried from, and returning the loose cotton to, the compacting structure. Apparatus of the invention can include an array or arrays of individual upstanding filaments, or flaps, located on a cotton conveying surface of a door arrangement or ramp extending from the compacting structure and over which a mass of compacted cotton or module is unloaded. The apparatus is configured to allow passage of a mass or module of compacted cotton thereover, while preventing passage of at least a substantial portion of any loose cotton following the mass or module along the surface. The apparatus is also configured for returning the loose cotton to the compacting structure upon folding or closing of the door or ramp. | 03-26-2009 |
20090123261 | SYNCHRONIZED UNLOADING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A COTTON HARVESTER WITH ON-BOARD MODULE BUILDER - A procedure and system for unloading a compacted cotton module from an on-board module builder of a cotton harvester, which in an automatic mode utilizes a controller to automatically monitor ground speed and operate unloading apparatus at a synchronized ratio to ground speed, for maintaining integrity and shape of the module, and which is quickly and easily switchable between the automatic mode and a manual mode that allows an operator to position and operate the unloading apparatus independent of ground speed for purposes such as placing the module at a precise location such as next to an already unloaded module or the like. | 05-14-2009 |

20140025264 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CHANGING A LID HEIGHT OF A HARVESTER - A harvester includes a crop receiver configured to receive agricultural material. The crop receiver includes a lid to cover a portion of the crop receiver. The harvester also includes a frame assembly coupled to the lid of the crop receiver. The harvester includes an actuator coupled to the frame assembly and configured to be controlled to adjust a vertical height of the lid. The harvester also includes a sensor coupled to the frame assembly and configured to indicate whether the lid is positioned at a first vertical height or a second vertical height. The harvester includes control circuitry coupled to the sensor and configured to instruct the actuator to move the lid of the crop receiver between the first vertical height and the second vertical height based at least partly on an indication from the sensor. | 01-23-2014 |

20090300901 | ANTENNA INCLUDING A SERPENTINE FEED WAVEGUIDE COUPLED IN PARALLEL TO A PLURALITY OF RADIATING WAVEGUIDES, AND METHOD OF FABRICATING SUCH ANTENNAS - The present invention relates to an antenna including a plurality of radiating waveguides disposed so that their wave paths are parallel two by two and including a feed waveguide having a wave path forming a flat zigzag serpentine pattern. The feed waveguide is disposed against the radiating waveguides so that a longitudinal axis of the feed waveguide pattern intersects the radiating waveguides at an angle of substantially 90 degrees. The feed waveguide includes coupling elements on its face in contact with the radiating waveguides. The radiating waveguides are straight and the straight portions of the zigzag wave path in the feed waveguide form a non-zero angle with the wave paths of the radiating waveguides, so that the coupling elements feed the radiating waveguides. | 12-10-2009 |
