Abstract: A retractable step for use with a vehicle comprises a stepping member having a stepping deck, a first arm, a second arm, a motor and a stop. The first arm has a first end pivotally attached to the vehicle, and a second end pivotally attached to the stepping member. The second arm also has a first end pivotally attached to the vehicle, and a second end pivotally attached to the stepping member. The motor is drivingly connected to the first arm such that a rotation of the motor causes rotation of the first arm about its first end and moves the stepping member from a retracted position to an extended position, or vice versa. The stop is located within the range of motion of the second arm such that the second arm bears against the stop when the stepping member is in the extended position.  The first and second arms are situated such that the first arm is loaded in compression and the second arm is loaded in tension when the stepping member is in the extended position and a load is placed upon it. In another embodiment, a retractable vehicle step assist comprises a rigid frame, a forward planar linkage pivotably connected to the frame along a forward upper connection width, and a rearward planar linkage pivotably connected to the frame along a rearward upper connection width. The retractable vehicle step further comprises a rigid step member having a stepping deck. The step member is pivotably connected to the forward planar linkage along a forward lower connection width, and is pivotably connected to the rearward planar linkage along a rearward lower connection width and on a side of the forward planar linkage opposite the stepping deck.  The stepping deck is substantially wider than any of the forward upper connection width, the rearward upper connection width, the forward lower connection width, and the rearward lower connection width.

Abstract: Les procédés selon la présente invention constituent la base d'un système de signature de sécurité avancée qui s'avère fiable. De plus, les procédés selon l'invention constituent également la base d'un système de signature de sécurité avancée à grain fin qui est fiable et efficace. Ledit système permet de réagir immédiatement lors de l'effraction d'un pirate informatique de sorte que les signatures du passé demeurent valides sans réémission de ces dernières et les valeurs de signatures futures basées sur une clé exposée peuvent ainsi être identifiées. En général, chaque signature préparée porte un indice croissant de sorte qu'une fois un indice utilisé, aucun indice inférieur ne peut être utilisé pour signer. Ensuite, lorsqu'un adversaire entre par effraction, un signataire honnête peut simplement publier l'indice en cours, par exemple, en signant un certain message spécial relatif à l'indice en cours, dans le cadre du message de révocation pour la durée en cours. Il est entendu que toutes les signatures faites au cours de durées précédentes ainsi que l'ensemble des signatures faites au cours de la période révoquée allant jusqu'à l'indice publié sont valides, c'est-à-dire fiables.

Abstract: Multi-channel audio signals are used to create a main signal, typically a mono signal, and a side signal (x side). A number of encoding schemes (81) for the side signal (x side) are provided.  Each encoding scheme (81) is characterised by a set of sub-frames (90) of different lengths. The total length of the sub-frames (90) corresponds to the length of the encoding frame (80) of the encoding scheme (81). The encoding scheme (81) to be used on the side signal (x side) is selected dependent on the present signal content of the multi-channel audio signals. In a preferred embodiment, a side residual signal is created as the difference between the side signal and the main signal scaled with a balance factor. The balance factor is selected to minimise the side residual signal. The optimised side residual signal and the balance factor are encoded and provided as encoding parameters representing the side signal.

Abstract: A large round baler includes a crop pick-up having a tined reel for lifting a windrow of crop to a secondary feeder which moves the crop into the baling chamber. Crop feeding is aided by an integrated crop baffle and hold-down assembly suspended from the baler frame for vertical floating movement by a trailing four-bar linkage arrangement. The baffle is located ahead of the pick-up tine reel, and the compressor rods extending rearwardly over the reel from a location close to an upper rear region of the baffle to a region beneath a bale starter roll. The linkage arrangement controls the movement of the integrated crop baffle and hold-down assembly such that the assembly quickly adjusts to varying windrow thickness, and so that interference between the starter roll and the rear sections of the crop hold-down compressor is avoided.
