| 20100261378 | BRACKETS AND RECEPTACLE ASSEMBLIES WITH ANGLED PORTS - A bracket configured to be mounted to a support wall. The bracket includes a panel that has opposing first and second sides that extend along a plane. The first side faces an exterior space and the second side facing an interior space. The bracket also includes a hub that is configured to receive an electronic device. The hub includes a first hub portion that extends from the first side and a second hub portion that extends from the second side toward the interior space. The first and second hub portions define a port through the panel to connect the interior and exterior spaces. The port extends along a central axis and is sized and shaped to receive and receive the device along the central axis. The central axis forms a non-orthogonal angle with respect to the plane of the first and second sides. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20110028021 | ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR HAVING A DIELECTRIC INSERT FOR RETAINING AN ELECTRICAL CONTACT - An electrical connector includes a housing having a mating interface and an interior chamber, an electrical contact having a terminating segment and a mating segment, and a dielectric insert held within the interior chamber of the housing. The dielectric insert includes a contact channel and a resilient finger extending into the contact channel. The terminating segment of the electrical contact extends within the contact channel of the dielectric insert. The resilient finger is engaged with the terminating segment of the electrical contact to retain the electrical contact within the interior chamber of the housing such that the mating segment of the electrical contact extends along the mating interface of the housing. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110035074 | Remote controlled power consuming device and module therefore - A power consuming device having communication with a utility company is disclosed. A power consuming device enclosure is described which has an interface and a communication module. The module includes a standardizing chip in communication with a communication interface, a protocol chip in communication with the standardizing chip. The communication could be by way of a protocol antenna, for receiving (and transmitting: i.e. the appliance can talk to the power company as well as receive communication from the power company) wireless protocol signals and transmitting the signals to the protocol chip. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20110076889 | ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY - An electrical connector assembly includes a housing having a base and contact towers extending forward from the base. The base has an outer perimeter defined between a front and a rear of the base, and the base has a latch extending forward from the base generally parallel to and spaced apart from the towers such that a gap is defined between a bottom of the latch and a top of the towers. Flanges extend upward from the top of the towers and at least partially block the gap. Contacts are held by the housing, where the contacts extend into the contact towers for mating with mating contacts of a mating connector. | 03-31-2011 |

| 20080293461 | Rotary chopper element of an integral chopper assembly of a combine harvester - A rotary chopper element for an integral chopper assembly of a combine harvester, which rotary chopper element includes a cylindrical rotary member having a plurality of ring portions axially aligned in an ordered side-by-side arrangement along the longitudinal axis of the rotary member, with each ring portion having disposed annularly therearound a plurality of mounting lugs, each of which mounting lugs is designed to support or to have affixed thereto at least one knife blade. The mounting lugs on each succeeding ring portion are rotated or offset radially from the lugs of the preceding ring by a predefined amount and the knife blades are attached to the mounting lugs to form mounted assemblies that have beveled leading edges that extend substantially continuously from adjacent to the outer surface of the rotary member to the tips of the knife blades. The knife blades of such mounted assemblies define a plurality of spaced helical arrays that extend along and wrap around the rotary member. The rotary chopper element is configured to be mountable generally parallel to the grate portion of a counter knife assembly of the integral chopper assembly to define a material flow path between the grate portion and the rotary member and to be operable to transport crop residue past the integral chopper assembly. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20090042624 | Combine Rotor Assembly With Progressive Pitch Element Pattern - A rotor assembly for a threshing system of a combine provides effective grain threshing and separation, while doing so in a manner that conserves power and avoids usage spikes and the like, by providing at least two helical patterns of elements for threshing and separating, having a helical pitch that progressively changes by an advantageous extent, while spacing between adjacent ones of the elements of each pattern is held about constant. | 02-12-2009 |

| 20110143827 | HELICAL BAR CONCAVE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING - A helical bar concave comprising a grate having helical mounting framework and helical cutouts to form a percent open area having a helical geometry. Configurable and segmented rub bars are mounted in a helical fashion to a cylindrical helical surface of the grate. A method of manufacturing a helical bar concave from a flat, rolled laser cut arrangement that provides a net helical concave functionality. Laser cutting a flat metal sheet to form helical cutouts defining a percent open area having a helical geometry in combination with configurable rub bars mounted in a helical fashion results in a configurable helical bar concave in which the number or aggressiveness of the threshing surface on the inside radius of the grate may be changed and/or the rub bars may be moved to the outside of the grate to change the percent open area and hence the separation characteristics of the concave. | 06-16-2011 |
