Abstract: A planetary gear assembly (60) is disclosed having a sun gear (54) fixed for
rotation with an input (44), a ring gear (56), and a planet carrier (66) fixed for rotation with an
output (42) and which has a plurality of planet gears (58) rotatably supported thereon that
mesh with the sun gear and the ring gear. To establish the high and low-range
drive connections between the input and the output, a first range sleeve (120) is supported
for rotation with the input and is movable between a neutral position and an
engaged position whereat the input is coupled to the planet carrier. In addition, a
second range sleeve (122) is supported for rotation with the ring gear and is movable
between a neutral position and an engaged position whereat the ring gear is coupled
to a stationary brake plate (142). Accordingly, the high-range drive connection between
the input and the output is established when the first range sleeve is in its engaged
position and the second range sleeve is in its neutral position. Moreover, the low-range
drive connection between the input and the output is established when the
first range sleeve is in its neutral position and the second range sleeve is in its
engaged position. Finally, a neutral mode is established whereat the output is not
driven by the input when both the first and second range sleeves are in their
respective neutral positions.

Abstract: This fuel injector for internal combustion
engines makes the best use of the responsiveness of a
piezoelectric element and the leakage resistance and
fixing easiness of a solenoid type fuel injection
nozzle, and secures a sufficient lift of a control
piston. In this fuel injector, a control piston (2) is
connected to and controls a sliding movement of a
needle valve (3), and a return spring (28) provided in
a fuel chamber (37) urges the needle valve (3) in the
injection port closing direction, the lift of the
control piston (2) being controlled by a piezoelectric
element (5) which is adapted to be displaced in
accordance with voltage variation. The displacement
of the piezoelectric element (5) is increased by the
effect of lever and fulcrum of a displacement
increasing mechanism (10), and the resultant
displacement is transmitted to the control piston (2),
whereby the lift of the control piston (2) and needle
valve (3) is secured.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to new arrangements for harvesting legume
crops. As used herein, legume crops include plants which grow seeds within a pod or
pericarp. The new arrangements of the invention can be used alone, in combination
with each other, or in combination with known arrangements. The harvesting
arrangements disclosed herein include new gathering arrangements (351) for
removing the crop from the field, and new threshing arrangements for opening
legume pods, and, in some embodiments, for separating the legume seed from the
remainder of the plant material. The threshing arrangements include one or more
threshing apparatuses (352, 353). The threshing apparatuses (352, 353) function to
open the pods of a leguminous plant by compressing the pods between two or more
threshing surfaces which exert sufficient pressure on the plant material to open the
pods. The threshing surfaces can also move at different speeds to cause additional
compression and shear affect on the pods to enhance pod opening.

224) and the sidewall dielectric (215) are chosen such that
the disposable gate (220) may be removed selectively with
respect to the sidewall dielectric (215). A dielectric layer
(214) is then deposited over the structure and a portion of

gate (220) (e.g. using CMP or an etch-back). The composition
of the dielectric layer (214) is chosen such that (1) the
dielectric layer (214) may be removed selectively with respect
to the sidewall dielectric (215) and (2) a layer of the
disposable gate (220) may be removed selectively with respect

Abstract: Gaseous blood is conveyed as a cyclone eddy current by a rotary cyclone whirl chamber (26) which has a cyclone inlet (40) axially spaced apart from the cyclone outlet (28). A gas outlet (60) discharges the gas phase from the blood phase. The cyclone inlet is formed by at least one threaded circularly leading blood-inlet duct (36) using which the gaseous blood enters at a tangent into the cyclone whirl chamber. The blood in the blood inlet duct is constricted at least along part of its length to a smaller flow cross-section, thereby accelerating its flow speed. The gas phase is conducted out of the radially inner centre of the cyclone whirl current at a part upstream from the blood inlet duct in a direction between the axial forward and tangential movements of the cyclone whirl current.

Abstract: An infrared (IR) transmitter modulator/receiver controller (TM/RC) encodes
downlink serial digital data and precise time synchronization strobes from a host system
to provide a downlink modulated serial digital electrical waveform. At least one IR host
system transceiver (HST) converts the downlink modulated serial digital electrical
waveform to a modulated downlink IR light waveform. At least one IR remote device
transceiver (RDT) receives the modulated downlink IR light waveform from the HST.
Each RDT is connected to a remote device. The modulated downlink IR light waveform
is converted into a corresponding electrical waveform and further demultiplexed into its
downlink serial digital data and precise time synchronization strobes. Each RDT
provides an uplink electrical and IR modulated serial digital waveform to be received by
the HST for conversion to an uplink demodulated serial digital electrical waveform. The
HST transfers the uplink demodulated serial digital electrical waveforms to the TM/RC,
thus providing a multiplexed combination of data and time information on the downlink
and communication of uplink status information from the remote devices.
