Patent CA-2671888-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TIPPERY STEVE
IPC: A01D41/127
Filed: 2009-07-15
Abstract: The invention is a combination of a short ground sensor arm mounted close to the cutter bar and a longer rod mounted towards the rear of the header. The short front sensor and long rear sensor are connected by a linkage which translates motions from either sensor to the other sensor. A second linkage translates the motions of both sensors rearward to a protected area under the header which contains the potentiometer. This configuration transmits useful ground position signals to the header height controller in both low and high cutting heights. The invention advantageously reduces the likelihood of damage to the short front sensor when the machine is reversed since the longer rear sensor arm pulls the shorter forward sensor arm up by means of the linkage to a position where damage is unlikely.

Patent CA-2673043-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NILSSON MAGNUS
IPC: H03D7/14
Filed: 2007-10-03
Abstract: A frequency conversion receiver comprises a passive mixer, a Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) and a balun. The low-noise amplifier generates an amplified single-ended signal responsive to a single-ended receiver input signal. The passive mixer generates a mixer output signal responsive to a differential mixer input signal and a four-phase local oscillator signal. The balun transforms the amplified singled-ended signal into the differential mixer input signal, the balun having a first winding coupled to an output of the low-noise amplifier and a second winding coupled to an input of the passive mixer, the second winding having more turns than the first winding. The turn ratio of the second winding to the first winding provides gain compensation to the low-noise amplifier, and in conjunction with the low-noise amplifier and the passive mixer, provides a desired gain to the receiver and linearity over a dynamic range of the receiver input signal.
