Title: Fibre monitoring apparatus and method
Inventor: INKPEN STUART
IPC: G01N27/02
Filed: 2004-06-29
Granted: 2015-11-17
Abstract: A computer-based fibre production monitoring system includes at least one sensor, and a computer server in communication with the sensors. Each sensor is configured to provide data packets each being associated with a respective threadline and providing a measurement of at least one physical characteristic of a fibre as it is drawn past the sensor on the threadline and wound onto a bobbin. The computer server is configured to provide an analysis of the physical characteristics on a per-threadline basis and/or per-bobbin basis from the measurements. The sensor is configured as an electric field sensor, and includes an insulating substrate, nan-contacting electrodes disposed on the substrate, and vias extending transversely through the substrate. The electrodes are interlaced with one another. One portion of the vias is coupled to one portion of the electrodes, and another portion of the vias is coupled to another portion of the electrodes.

Title: No-apical meristem proteins, polynucleotides and methods of use for same
Inventor: GUO MEI
IPC: C12N15/82
Filed: 2003-05-15
Granted: 2012-03-27
Abstract: The present invention provides polynucleotides and related polypeptides of the protein ZMNAM isolated from maize endosperm. The invention provides genomic sequence for the ZMNAM gene. ZMNAM is a novel gene and is regulated by gene-specific imprinting. ZMNAM expression is endosperm-specific and expressed throughout the endosperm development, peaking at 25DAP. Genomic imprinting has been implicated to play a role in endosperm development. Genes regulated by allele-specific imprinting are suspected to be non-essential to seed development. Gene-specific imprinting however, regulates developmentally important genes. The ZMNAM gene, a putative transcriptional factor, may play an important role in endosperm development, which may further affect kernel size, plant vigor during germination and at the early seedling stage.

Title: Controlled bale ejection mechanism
Inventor: DERSCHEID DANIEL ERIC
IPC: A01F15/00
Filed: 2006-03-22
Granted: 2011-01-11
Abstract: A controlled bale ejection mechanism for an agricultural baler is provided. The mechanism includes a bale support which is positioned below the bale when it is ejected, that catches and supports the bale. The bale support is then translated rearward by a hydraulic cylinder and guided by support rails. As the bale support and bale approach the desired location, the bale support is lowered by tilting the rail assembly downward. An articulating shoe is used to support and lower the rails. The bale support tilts as it is lowered, thereby creating a dumping action. If additional tilting is required due to geometry limitations, additional bale support tilt can be created by a weight shift of the bale support, changing the trajectory of the rail or torque induced by the bale support cylinder. The bale is set down on the ground and the ramp assembly resets to prevent the bale from rolling forward and preparing for the next cycle. Springs are used to retract the articulating shoe and lift the rails into transport position. The timing of this system is integrated into the hydraulic baler functions (primarily the discharge gate) so no additional action is required from the operator when ejecting the bale.

Title: Method for providing a temporary barrier in a flow pathway
Inventor: RICHARD BENNETT M
IPC: E21B43/11
Filed: 2004-10-21
Granted: 2008-12-30
Abstract: A flow conduit (10) has at least one orifice (12) is in the vicinity of a flow source. The source is at least partially covered (and flow blocked by) an optional temporary coating or barrier. The flow pathway between the orifice and the source is temporarily blocked with a degradable material or barrier (18).
