An improvement to a roadside sprayer fixates spray nozzles on a registration plate. The registration plate may include integral tabs depending on the application. Inclination of the tabs is adjustable to place streams and droplets in a desired swath coverage. With the nozzles rigidly mounted onto the plate, the entire plate is nutated. The use of the registration plate in a spray unit creates a uniform nutation among the nozzles, thereby reducing variability in droplet placement, and providing a more predictable spray from the nozzles. In other embodiments, the spray unit is utilized in a spray system adaptable to service vehicles, and may be utilized in conjunction with a vegetation engagement device, such as a cutter to engage multiple zones of a roadway right-of-way. Additionally, an improved spray unit includes an electromagnetic field and an attractor to generate plate motion.

The present invention discloses a multi-layer inflatable toy and a manufacturing method thereof. The toy comprises a liner, an intermediate layer and a surface covering; the liner is filled with air, and the intermediate layer is arranged between the liner and the surface covering; the liner is made of rubber material, and the intermediate layer and the surface covering are made of flexible material or elastic material; and the intermediate layer may be of a single-layer or multi-layer structure. In the present invention, a pet toy of a multi-layer structure is manufactured by using a liner inflating process, so that the product is light and can float on water, thus the problem that the toy cannot be retrieved or used continuously after falling into water is avoided, and the harm to people and objects by throwing is avoided.

A system includes a robotic arm, an imaging device coupled to the robotic arm, a board coupled to the robotic arm, and a processor. The imaging device captures imaging data of a rearview of a dairy livestock through a field of view of the imaging device. The board is able to pivot from a down position to an up position and has an aperture through which the imaging device can pass through when the board lowers from the up position to the down position. The processor is coupled to both the imaging device and the board and is configured to identify a tail of the dairy livestock within the imaging data captured by the imaging device and send one or more instructions to raise the board from the down position to the up position, thereby moving the tail out of the field of view of the imaging device.

This invention also relates to inbred corn lines derived from inbred corn line SLD34BM, to methods for producing other inbred corn lines derived from inbred corn line SLD34BM and to the inbred corn lines derived by the use of those methods.

An inbred corn line, designated 8MMDE1039, the plants and seeds of the inbred corn line 8MMDE1039, methods for producing a corn plant, either inbred or hybrid, produced by crossing the inbred corn line 8MMDE1039 with itself or with another corn plant, and hybrid corn seeds and plants produced by crossing the inbred line 8MMDE1039 with another corn line or plant and to methods for producing a corn plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic corn plants produced by that method. This invention also relates to inbred corn lines derived from inbred corn line 8MMDE1039, to methods for producing other inbred corn lines derived from inbred corn line 8MMDE1039 and to the inbred corn lines derived by the use of those methods.

The invention relates to the wheat cultivar designated 07651-10. Provided by the invention are the seeds, plants and derivatives of the wheat cultivar 07651-10. Also provided by the invention are tissue cultures of the wheat cultivar 07651-10 and the plants regenerated therefrom. Still further provided by the invention are methods for producing wheat plants by crossing the wheat cultivar 07651-10 with itself or another wheat cultivar and plants produced by such methods.

The invention provides barley gain comprising a reduced level or activity of starch synthase IIa protein and a starch content of at least 41% (w/w) and methods of producing, identifying and using same. The grain may comprise an amylase content of at least 50%, a β-glucan content of 5-9% (w/w) or greater than 9% (w/w), and/or a fructan content of 3-11% (w/w). The fructan may comprise a degree of polymerization from about 3 to about 12. For example, the plant and grain comprises a sex6-292 allele and/or an amo1 mutation. A food or beverage product, and methods of producing a food or beverage product, comprising obtaining or producing the subject grain and processing the grain to produce the product. Also contemplated are methods of improving one or more indicators of health in a mammal comprising administering a composition comprising the subject barley grain or a product comprising same.

A port interface for a pneumatic distribution system includes a first flow passage configured to receive fluidized particulate material from an outlet port of a header and to output the fluidized particulate material to an outlet line. The port interface also includes a second flow passage configured to receive a balancing airflow and to output the balancing airflow to an external environment. In addition, the port interface includes a knife valve having a blade with an opening. The blade is configured to move between a first position in which the opening is substantially aligned with the first flow passage and a solid portion of the blade is substantially aligned with the second flow passage, and a second position in which the opening is substantially aligned with the second flow passage and the solid portion of the blade is substantially aligned with the first flow passage.

An assembly for adjustably mounting a gauge wheel arm to the frame of a row unit may include a pivot pin connected on the frame, a bushing freely rotatably mounted on the pivot pin for engagement with the gauge wheel arm such that rotation of the bushing with respect to the gauge wheel arm moves the gauge wheel arm axially, and a locking element that integrates the gauge wheel arm with the bushing so that there is no relative movement therebetween as the gauge wheel arm rotates with respect to the pivot pin.
