Abstract: A method and apparatus for transferring bales from a tow vehicle onto a trailer being towed. The tow vehicle has a deck and is equipped with both a lifting apparatus for lifting bales onto the deck and a bale moving apparatus for moving bales from a first end to a remote end of the deck. A telescopic connection is provided between the tow vehicle and a trailer. This enables the trailer to be moved between a normal transport position spaced from the tow vehicle and a bale transfer position positioned immediately adjacent the tow vehicle. When the trailer is in the bale transfer position, the bale moving apparatus can be used to move bales off the remote end of the deck of the tow vehicle directly onto a deck of the trailer. This completely eliminates the need for an intermediate bale transfer mechanism between the tow vehicle and the trailer.

The passbook is guided through the transport by a first fixed edge guide (44). A second edge guide (46) is mounted on a spring (48) so as to bias the passbook into alignment as it passes through the transport. A gate member (72) is movable between positions blocking or admitting a passbook to the transport.  Movement of the gate member as well as the belt flights is under control of a processor. Sensors (110), (114), (118) and (124) are operatively connected to and are controlled by the processor and prevent the admission and passage of improperly sized passbooks by the transport.

Abstract: Le dispositif de commande (80) de la présente invention peut être utilisé sur des appareils du type outils à main, dispositifs électroniques et pompes d'injection. Un dispositif d'entrée (12) permet l'entrée de codes d'accès utilisateurs et un panneau indicateur sert à contrôler le statut des appareils. Un élément de commande est en communication avec le dispositif d'entrée (12), le panneau indicateur, l'alimentation électrique (108), un élément d'entraînement et un élément d'actionnement de façon à pouvoir empêcher le fonctionnement des appareils, ledit élément de commande exigeant à cette fin l'entrée d'un code utilisateur. Le dispositif de commande (80) de cette invention peut comporter un temporisateur programmable destiné à la communication avec l'élément de commande, qui permet le passage du courant de l'alimentation (108) vers l'élément d'entraînement pendant une durée préétablie. Une horloge peut surveiller cette durée et activer ou désactiver le temporisateur programmable en fonction d'une entrée utilisateur. La communication peut se faire par l'intermédiaire de câbles électriques que l'on peut enchâsser, de même que l'élément de commande, dans un matériau solide afin de les rendre inaccessibles. Lorsqu'on l'utilise directement sur une pompe d'injection, l'élément de commande empêche le carburant d'atteindre le moteur s'il n'a pas été entré un code utilisateur correct. Ce dispositif (80) peut également être utilisé en tant que robinet d'arrêt de tuyauterie de carburant conçu pour empêcher la circulation de carburant dans une tuyauterie. On peut équiper un tel robinet d'arrêt d'une bobine (206) pour empêcher l'écoulement de carburant du réservoir vers l'organe d'entraînement. L'invention se rapporte également à un dispositif de verrouillage (208) pour bicyclettes qui agit sur l'axe (204) des pédales. Un disque d'accouplement (236) doté de multiples points d'accès le long de sa circonférence est fixé à l'axe de façon à être immobilisé. Un élément d'activation de barre de verrouillage est conçu pour s'accoupler à une barre de verrouillage(210) ou pour s'en dégager de manière que le disque d'accouplement (236) empêche la rotation de l'axe (204).

Abstract: An electric, resistance element heater utilizes quartz as a sheath material and has a resistance (heating) element that is in intimate, substantially continuous contact with a surface of the quartz. This allows the heater to operate in any one or all of the three modes of heat transfer, namely, radiation, conduction and convection. Such intimate, substantially continuou s contact of the resistance element is achieved by applying the element in direct contact with the quartz surface. This is accomplished by applying a heating circuit directly to the quartz surface, which heating element can be  a foil element, or a thick or a thin film deposition element. The overall heat er is formed by covering the heater element by a quartz sheath and attaching leads formed on the ends of the heater element to a source of electric energ y. Sensors such as thermocouples, RTD's and the like can also be incorporated directly into the heater structure. Also, the heater can be fashioned into a  variety of shapes.

Abstract: A motor protector for use in protecting an electric motor in a subterranean environment. The motor protector utilizes a dual chamber system for absorbing the expansion and contraction of the internal fluids of a submergible electric motor. One of the chambers provides for the expansion and contraction of the internal fluids of a submergible electric motor. The other chamber is in fluid communication with the subterranean environment. A gas pocket is disposed within the motor protector between and in fluid communication with both of the dual chambers. The volume of gas couples the fluid pressure of the subterranean environment to the internal fluids of the electric motor without direct contact between the internal fluids of the electric motor and fluids from the subterranean environment.
