Abstract: A self-propelled agricultural harvesting machine (1) is provided with a single channel network (300) for serial communication of digital data messages between programmable microprocessors (215, 218) in a multi-master configuration. The messages are encoded according to an advanced serial communications protocol and are available to all microprocessors (215, 218). The network comprises an optical transmission network with an active starpoint (230) and plastic optical fibres (231), which link the nodes which lay physically far away from each other. An RS232 socket, which is linked to the network (300), enables loading of data and programs to the microprocessors (215, 218). Thus is obtained a reliable and flexible control system for the machine settings, which comprise on-road and off-road (harvesting) parameters. The ground speed of the machine (1) is controlled by an actuator (65/78) and a command means (75, 80) which are linked to the network (300). The introduction of a wide range of automatic control routines simplifies to a large extent the tasks of the operator during operation.

Abstract: A method for measuring a flow velocity of a liquid uses a signal transmitter and receiver. First a region of the liquid where flow velocity is to be determined is selected at a chosen distance from the transmitter. A time period for a for a signal to travel from the transmitter to the receiver via the region is calculated and a plurality of pulsed stochastic noise signals are sequentially transmitted to said region at a given pulse repetition frequency. The reflected signals are received when said time period for each transmitted pulse has elapsed and they are correlated with a copy of the corresponding transmitted signals to identify the reflected signals. A Doppler shift signal whose frequency is representative of the frequency differences between the transmitted and received signals is generated. The Doppler shift signal is sampled at two rates below the Nyquist limit to provide perceived frequency values which are then de-aliased to give a true frequency reading before the flow velocity is then calculated.

Abstract: A frictional engaging clutch for an automatic
vehicle transmission which discriminates judder which
has occurred on the vehicle and controls to decrease the
same. A clutch slip ratio (ECL) is calculated, the
calculated ratio is then converted into an ac waveform
which is filtered (S14) by filters acting as a judder
filter and a disturbance filter to extract frequency
components of an appropriate range, and the number of
times (NTEX) at which the filtered waveform peaks
exceeds threshold values (appropriately set) is counted
(S18), and based on the counts, the judder is
discriminated or determined (S22). The configuration is
simple and makes it possible to discriminate judder in

Abstract: The combined tyre and wheel system has a rim(2) with a rounded lip(6) on both sides and each rim lip has a tubular hollow chamber(12) with a rectangular or square cross-section and an annular opening(8) into which the bead area of a special tyre is inserted. Remaining space(16) in the tubular hollow chamber(12) is filled with a liquid fluid material. In a design variation the tyre has a hollow bead area into which, after location of the tyre bead in the tubular chamber of the rim, a curable liquid material is injected to expand the bead until it fills the chamber. Assembly of the tyre and rim involves rotating the tyre bead(14) in the longitudinal direction and inserting through the annular opening(8) into the hollow chamber(12) where, due to the elasticity, it recovers to its original position. Any remaining space(16) in the hollow chamber(12) is then filled with a curable liquid material either via a hole(20) or through the annular joint(8). The bead(14) position is then adjusted to optimise roundness before the liquid sets. A bead area with an internal hollow chamber can be expanded with a curable fluid until the bead completely fills the tubular chamber(12).
