Title: Air plug for use in the plastic wrapping of bales of hay to produce and store silage
Inventor: REEVES HOLDSWORTH
IPC: A01F25/14
Filed: 2001-10-23
Abstract: An air plug for use in association with the plastic wrapping of bales of hay to produce and store silage. The plastic wrapped bales form continuous tubes and have a cross section of at least two substantially rectangular bales stacked in vertical alignment. The air plug is a substantially triangular shaped wedge having two matching concave sides and a third convex side for insertion at the perimeter intersection of two adjacent bales, where the concave sides of the wedge engage the hay and the convex side engages the plastic.

Title: Method and system for providing geographic specific services in a satellite communications network
Inventor: WADIN CRAIG
IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 2000-11-01
Abstract: A method and apparatus for communicating geographic specific services to a receiver (4) in a satellite communications network by utilizing location identification information included in a composite signal transmitted by a terrestrial repeater (3). A terrestrial repeater receives from a satellite a composite signal comprising a plurality of time-division multiplexed (TDM) data channels and retransmits the composite signal with a unique transmitter identification number which indicates the identity of the repeater (21). Upon reception of the composite signal from the terrestrial repeater, the receiver determines the current geographical location of the receiver based on the transmitter identification number (24). The receiver then compares the current location of the receiver to header information carried in the data channels to select information in the data channels targeted to the geographical location of the receiver (25). The receiver then provides the selected information to a user of the receiver so that user may access services directed to audiences in the geographic location of the receiver (26).
