Title: Trailer for endwise transport of a mower-conditioner
Inventor: WALTERS JAMES C
IPC: A01B73/00
Filed: 1997-01-13
Granted: 2000-11-07
Abstract: A trailer, for a header-equipped implement, has a T-shaped main frame, with the head of the T being defined by a beam extending in the direction of travel and with the stem of the T centered between a pair of loading ramps having first end portions coupled to the beam for pivoting about a fulcrum such that the ramps are moved from a loading to a transport position by the weight of the implement when the implement is backed up the ramps to a loaded position resting on the beam and in engagement with respective bumper/latch bars fixed to the beam. Stability of the trailer is maintained during loading of the implement by parking stands, at opposite ends of the beam, which are either manually or automatically moved between support and stored positions. The wheels are each mounted to an arm having a latch hook secured thereto and which moves into latched engagement with a respective one of the bumper latch/bars to secure the implement to the trailer when the arms are raised by the implement lift cylinders to lower the header onto the frame stem. The implement has a swing tongue used to tow the trailer/implement combination endwise relative to the header. Mounted to one of the ramps is a storable trailer tongue which may be used to tow the trailer when it is empty.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of regulating the power of transmission between first and second stations in    a   multiple    satellite   visibility    satellite telecommunication  network.    The  method  comprises  the following cyclic steps:  regulation,  for each of said N channels,  of an  isolated transmit power  level  command signal such that when it commands the power at which the first station transmits the first isolated signal in each channel the quality level of the corresponding isolated second signal received by the second station is equal to a reference quality level, and regulation, for all of the N channels, of N combined transmit power level command signals such that when they command the levels at which the  first  station  respectively  transmits  the  N  first combined signals on the N channels the quality level of the global signal received formed from the N combined second signals is equal to the reference quality level. Depending on whether the isolated command signal having the minimal level is such that this minimal level is less than or greater than a maximal tolerated isolated command level,  the  minimal  level  isolated  command  signal  is selected  to  command  the  power  with  which  the  first station  transmits  a  call  signal  in  the  corresponding channel, or the N combined command signals are selected to  command  the  power  with  which  the  first  station transmits  respective  combined  call  signals  on  the  N channels.

Abstract: A DC-to-DC switching power supply (12) receives a DC biased power signal at a first input (14), a control signal at its control input (16) and produces an output DC voltage at its output terminal (20). A power supply controller (30) compares the produced output signal Vout with an input reference signal Vref.  The reference signal is an analog signal which may be produced via digital-to-analogconverter (34) which converts a digital input command into a corresponding analog signal Vref.  The resulting error signal is then passed through a proportional gain block 36 and an integral gain block (38). A signal proportional to the differential of the output voltage is passed through a differential gain block (44). The outputs from the proportional gain block (36) integrator gain block (38) differential gain block (44) are summed in the secondsummer (40) and applied as the input to a delta-sigma converter (42). The output from delta-sigma (42) then constitutes a fixed-width pulse stream of predetermined sequence such that, when applied to the control input (16) of the switching power supply (12), the power supply produces a DC output signal Vout at its output terminal (20) which is determined by the reference signal Vref.

Abstract: An authentication system having a first device and a second device between which signals may be communicated. The first device includes a first memory for storing a definition signal and the first device generates a first signal to be communicated to the second device. The first device also generates a first alteration signal, and introduces an alteration into a first section of the definition signal stored in the first memory in accordance with the first alteration signal. The second device includes a second memory for storing the definition signal, and generates, in response to a receipt of the first signal, a second signal to be communicated to the first device. The second signal includes a second section of the definition signal stored in the second memory, and the second device also generates a second alteration signal and introduces an alteration into a third section of the definition signal stored in the second memory in accordance with the second alteration signal. In addition, the first device compares the second section of the definition signal in the second signal originating from the second device with a corresponding section of the definition signal stored in the first memory, and introduces the alteration into the first section of the definition signal stored in the first memory in accordance with a comparison result. The first and third sections, moreover, are corresponding sections of the definition signals stored in the first and second memories respectively.

Abstract: A mobile communication scheme capable of notifying a communication regulation information efficiently by using radio interfaces from the macro-cell system to the micro-cell system, without requiring communications through a fixed communication network, so as to be able to regulate the service through the micro-cell system efficiently in coordination with the regulation of the service through the macro-cell system. In this mobile communication scheme, the communication regulation information is notified from the macro-cell system to the mobile station while the mobile station is located within the macro-cell system, and stored in a memory of the mobile station. Then, the communication regulation information is notified from the mobile station to the micro-cell system while the mobile station is located within the micro-cell system after moving from the macro-cell system to the micro-cell system, so that the communication regulation is applied to the mobile station at the micro-cell system according to the receivied communication regulation information.

Cette feuille comprend une paire de parties lisses placées à distance les unes des autres (12, 13) et reliées par une partie médiane (11). On plie ces parties lisses sur les côtés opposés de la partie médiane. Cette dernière est ondulée ou déformée, de manière à créer un espace d'air isolant. On réunit les extrémités des parties lisses et on fixe une fermeture (14) pour le fond. La tasse finie comprend une enveloppe extérieure lisse (12S), une enveloppe intérieure lisse (13S) et une couche médiane (11L) prise en sandwich entre ces enveloppes. Dans un autre mode de réalisation (figure 5A), la partie isolante (34) peut être située à une extrémité plutôt qu'au milieu de l'ébauche et celle-ci est repliée de façon adéquate, de telle manière que la couche isolante ressort en tant que couche médiane (figure 6A).

Abstract: The present invention includes puffed-food starch material snack, in particular starch material from grains, having an improved crispy texture and a more aesthetic appearance and methods for preparing them. In general terms, the products are snack chips, cakes, crackers or the like, made from food starch material. Preferably, the starch material is provided primarily in the form of individual kernels or pellets of a cereal grain, such as rice, corn, wheat, rye, oats, millet, sorghum, barley, buckwheat, or mixtures thereof. Quantities of other food starch materials may also be employed as a co-mixed constituent, or the primary source of bulk starch material, for example potato starch material. A quantity of the grain is puffed (expanded) in a manner which forms a snack product of considerable crispiness, 1lightness, and unique texture to both the mouth and eye. According to a method of making the puffed food starch material product of the present invention, a puffing chamber is provided having inner surfaces and a chamber volume. A bulk amount of the food starch material is placed into the puffing chamber. The bulk amount of food starch material is caused to volumetrically expand. The expanding food starch material is constrained in its expansion in at least a first dimension, while permitting expansion of the bulk amount in at least a second dimension.
