Title: Quarter turn bale lift arm for round bale movers
Inventor: WARBURTON JOHN R
IPC: A01D90/08
Filed: 1991-12-03
Granted: 1996-04-09
Abstract: A bale pick-up is used with a round bale carrier of the  type having  means  for  carrying  round  bales  arranged end-to-end in a row substantially aligned with the direction of travel of the carrier.   The pick-up has a bale engaging cradle with  a  fixed  bale  support  arm normally projecting laterally  from the side of the carrier and a movable bale support arm with an initial forwardly projecting position and a bale supporting position projecting laterally parallel to the fixed arm.  The two arms are mounted on a swing arm which is  itself  pivotally  mounted  on  a  lift arm.   The various components are controlled by a hydraulic circuit that first closes the movable bale support arm then applies a lifting force to the cradle and turns the cradle and bale through a one quarter turn (90).  The pick-up then lifts the bale to a receiving position on the bale support.  The carrier may have a second bale support parallel to the first and a kicker at the receiving station of the first support for transferring bales from the first support to the second.

Granted: 1999-05-11
Abstract: A trap circuit apparatus for a television receiver comprising: a first trap circuit for producing a first trapped video signal by reducing a component level of a sound detection signal included in and accompanied with a video detection signal from a tuner of the television receiver, frequencies of the video detection signal and the sound detection signal having a given relation therebetween; and a second trap circuit responsive to the first trapped video signal for producing a second trapped video signal by reducing a component level of a radio detection signal included in the video detection signal, frequencies of the video detection signal and the radio detection signal having a second given relation therebetween.  This trap circuit apparatus prevents FM interference radio wave signal in addition to a sound signal accompanied with video detection signal from entering a video processing circuit, etc.  In U.S.A., radio waves of FM broadcasting stations of channels CH 201 (carrier frequency: 88.1 MHz) to CH 220 (carrier frequency: 91.9 MHz) are assigned to a frequency band where a television radio wave of CH 6 (video carrier frequency: 83.25 MHz) is assigned, at a frequency interval of 200 KHz.

Abstract: A cup-type harmonic gear drive comprises a rigid circular spline, a cup-shaped flexspline disposed inside the circular spline and a wave generator means fitted inside the flexspline for flexing the flexspline into elliptic to engage it with the circular spline and for rotating the engagement portions to thereby produce relative rotation between the splines. The flexspline has a tube, a disc-shaped diaphragm connected integrally to the end of said tube to define the cup bottom, and a thick boss formed on the center of the diaphragm. The diaphragm has a root portion from the boss, a thickness of which is set at least about three times the minimum thickness of the diaphragm. The outer profile of the diaphragm is defined, when viewed along a plane including the axis of the flexspline, by a plurality of curves having a different curvature.      These curves are arranged from one having a larger curvature from the root protion to the tube portion of the diaphragm. Thus, the stress distribution of the flexspline can be made smooth to the extent for practical use even where a shorter flexspline is adopted.

Granted: 2004-02-17
Abstract: A novel method for manufacturing a layer of a laminated, disposable absorbent product, such as a fluid-permeable cover layer, an absorbent core layer or a fluid-impervious backing layer thereof, with a comparatively small amount of waste matter. The method comprises the steps of longitudinally cutting a continuous web of starting material according to a cyclic pattern constructed with line segments corresponding to the edge contour of the disposable absorbent product. The cutting operation divides the continuous web in two strips, each strip having a patterned longitudinal edge whose outline corresponds to the cyclic pattern. The strips are crossed and joined to one another in a parallel and in a phase relationship to form a compound web having longitudinal edges producing repeatedly the edge contour of the disposable absorbent product. The invention extends to integrating this method into an operation for manufacturing disposable absorbent products, and to a novel apparatus for carrying out the methods according to the invention and the resulting products.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for determining and indicating calcification in a clear water conduit. The present invention directly determines calcification and indicates cleaning of the clear water conduit. An infrared transmitting circuit emits an infrared pulse through the clear conduit. As long as calcification has not formed on the conduit to block the infrared pulse, a phototransistor or infrared receiving circuit receives the infrared pulse. When calcification has formed in the clear conduit enough to block the emitted infrared pulse, the receiving circuit determines that calcification has occurred and provides a visual indication to a user that the conduit needs cleaning.

Granted: 1999-09-21
Abstract: In a transversal filter for filtering an input signal (IN) into an output signal (OUT) in response to first through third tap gains (C-1, C0, C1), the transversal filter comprises a serial-parallel converter (40) for converting the input signal into first and second parallel converted signals. Connected to the serial-parallel converter, a delay circuit (10) has first through fourth taps (11-14) and comprises a plurality of delay units (16, 17) each of which is connected between two taps selected from the first through the fourth taps.  Each of the delay units provides twice a unit delay which is substantially equal to a reciprocal of an input data rate of the input signal. The first through the fourth taps of the delay circuit produce first through fourth tap signals, respectively. First and second calculation circuits (31, 32) carry out a calculation operation on three tap signals selected from the first through the fourth tap signals using the first through the third tap gains to produce first and second calculation result signals, respectively. Connected to the first and the second calculation circuits, a parallel-serial converter (35) couples the first and the second calculation result signals to produce the output signal.
