Abstract: The hay-making machine consists of a frame with a number of rotors carrying tools which overlap as they rotate with the tools on neighbouring rotors. The rotors are turned about vertical or slightly inclined axes by transmission shafts (24,26) running through transverse frame members with articulated joints (6) between their central (2) and outer (4) sections, the joints having vertical pivots (10) which allow the outer frame sections to be turned towards the rear for transporting. The transmission shafts are connected at the articulated joints (6) by couplings (31,32) with teeth (33) which mesh when the shafts are engaged. Each of the couplings also has a projection (34) which ensures that the rotors are correctly positioned when the couplings are engaged, so that the tools on one rotor pass between those on the neighbouring one. Each of the projections is approximately semi-circular in section and forms an extension to the end of a transmission shaft while being about the same length as the meshing teeth.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for droplet generation in agricultural or other spraying comprises supplying air and liquid to a supply chamber (28, 102) having an outlet orifice (38, 114), and entraining the liquid in the air flow for droplet formation. Air and liquid are injected into the supply chamber which has a closed end wall (42, 108) on which the liquid forms a continuous film which moves outwards towards the orifice for droplet formation thereat. The supply of air and liquid to a chamber wall (42, 108) or target from which the liquid proceeds with direction change to an entrainment outlet at suitable pressures causes droplets formed to have a droplet size particularly suitable for effective coating of plant material and the momentum provided to the droplets by the air enables controlled direction of the resulting spray mist even at very low liquid volumes per hectare.

Abstract: The present invention is a method for chemical-mechanical planarization of semiconductor wafers that is highly useful for planarizing stop-on-feature design wafers. Initially, the wafer is positioned against a liquid solution over a planarizing surface of a polishing pad. At least one of the wafer or the pad is moved with respect to the other at a relatively low velocity to maintain a substantially continuous film of liquid solution between the wafer and the pad. The temperature of a pad platen is also controlled to maintain a relatively low temperature of the liquid solution at which the solution is highly selective to a layer of material on the wafer.
