Abstract: The invention, from a first aspect, provides an assembly of several reels (2) with guide wires (3) for crops, wherein the guide wires (3) have partially been wound around the reels (2) and partially extend away from the reels (2) with a free end portion (3a), wherein of at least a number of the reels (2) the free end portions (3a) of the guide wires (3) have been joined together with joining means (8).  Due to the joining together in a group using the joining means, the guide wires (3) can be situated in an orderly manner in, on or near a storage container for the assembly. Due to the joining together the guide wires (3) can moreover remain unidirectionally oriented one to the other, as a result of which the guide wires (3) getting tangled when taking a reel (2) out of the assembly can be counteracted.

Abstract: An alternator regulator controls both output voltage and output current, limits input drive power and torque, and maintains output power within a prescribed range while operating over a wide ambient temperature range and shaft speed range. Voltage, shaft speed, and temperature signals are monitored, and the results are processed to determine the output current and to control the output power without exceeding the programmed limits for output voltage, output current, temperature, output power, drive power, torque, and shaft speed. This provides a predictable output power characteristic for the alternator and it eliminates high input drive power and torque excursions that occur at low temperature and certain shaft speeds. If programmed limits are exceeded over a specified interval, and the alternator does not respond to the control changes imposed by the regulator, the regulator will turn off the alternator's field current, activate an alarm circuit, and set fault codes. The regulator is also capable of communicating with other control systems to provide status, specify needs, and respond to requests.

Abstract: The described embodiments relate generally to methods and system for use in determining solderability of an electrical component. One particular aspect relates to a system for measuring solderability of an electrical component, comprising: a vacuum chamber; a load sensor having a contact portion, the contact portion being disposed within the vacuum chamber; a first receptacle for containing solder; a platform or support disposed within the vacuum chamber in relation to the contact portion and having a component mounting surface for mounting the electrical component; and a control and communications module for causing relative movement between the platform or support and the load sensor so that a contact surface of the electrical component is brought into close proximity with the contact portion. When the contact portion has solder thereon and the solder is brought into contact with the contact surface, the load sensor measures force arising from wetting of the solder to the contact surface; wherein the control and communications module is configured to monitor sensed conditions within the system. The force generated under contact changes over time, depending on the degree of solderability of the electrical component. Thus, measurement of the wetting forces over time provides an indication of the solderability of the electrical component.

Abstract: Current sensing resistors are connected directly to output terminals of MOSFETs forming the series switching stage of a PWM sinewave dimmer. An analog sensed current signal is coupled through an EMI resistant current link to comparators that provide an overcurrent indication in response to an overcurrent condition. A logic circuit overrides PWM control signals from a programmable controller, and operates drivers to render the series switching stage nonconductive and to render a clamp switching stage conductive until after the end of the current PWM duty cycle power on segment. The logic circuit sends an overcurrent signal through an optocoupler to an input of the programmable controller. The input of the controller is polled at a clock frequency for overcurrent signals and if the count exceeds a limit in any half cycle, or a maximum sum in sixteen half cycles of the AC supply, the series switching stage is rendered nonconductive and the clamp switching stage is rendered conductive pending a reset signal.

Abstract: The invention concerns a fluid collection bag for use for hygienic purposes, in particular a disposable urine bag, comprising a flexible foil pouch (1) defining a fluid collection compartment, an inlet opening collar (2) mounted in the pouch for allowing fluid being entered into the pouch, and non-return valve means (3) comprising a plurality of flexible foil layers (31,32,33) between the inlet opening collar and the fluid collection compartment for preventing the fluid from being escaping the fluid collection compartment, wherein the flexible non-return valve means extends into the fluid collection compartment, and that the valve means are mounted directly to the inlet opening collar. By providing the flexible non-return valve means as a separate element , the non-return valve means may be made in a special flexible foil material, since the valve foils need not be welded together with the foils forming the pouch. By mounting the valve means directly to the inlet collar, the pouch is not divided into two compartments since the entire volume of the pouch may constitute the fluid collection compartment thereby increasing the capacity of the fluid collection bag.

Abstract: An actuator is described with a prestressed reduction gear, which acts via a drive organ, particularly in the form of a drive segment, of a linear drive or a drive spindle upon an actuator for regulating a gas or fluid flow, particularly in the fields of heating ventilation, air-conditioning and fire and smoke protection. Actuating movement is limited by end stops. At least one inner end stop on the housing side limits the rotational freedom of an end wheel, which is in a positive fit with the drive organ, up to more than a full rotation. In a prestressed reduction gear, a switching device g can comprise two spur gears which have identical diameter and can be driven in the opposite direction for changing the M direction of movement of the drive organ, each of which have a pinion which can be displaced in the axial direction. The pinions are in each axial position in a positive fit with the drive organ. One of the two pinions, respectively, can be locked in a torque fixed manner with one of the two pinions having the same diameter.

Abstract: An audio system sets a signal line path between the medium of an audio device and an external device and uploads a digital audio file from the external device to the audio device according to a user's manipulation of the audio. In addition, a communication system selectively uses USB and UART communications by commonly using a single USB connector and connects a connector of an external device and an audio/USB/UART common connector through a single cable, so that audio/USB or audio/UART signals are selectively outputted through a common audio signal line. Accordingly, the audio system can interface with various kinds of external devices without external modification or additional installation of a dedicated interface in the audio device with a USB connector. In addition, the USB/UART common communication system can commonly use the USB connector without regard to USB and UART connection signals and can selectively output the audio/USB or audio/UART signals through the single cable in the audio device.

A multitude of detection values (D) are obtained for each optical fibre (F) by detecting the test sample light (Ls) in synchronization with the sampling signals (P). An operational state for scanning the scanning light (Le) is determined through statistical processing by an operational state obtaining section (220) corresponding to the sampling. signal (P) at which a maximum value of the test sample light (Ls) is detected for each optical fibre among the sampling signals (P). Imaging of the specimen is performed by acquiring the signals under the obtained operational state.
