摘要:
A mass flow grain monitor is located adjacent the upper end of the clean grain elevator assembly of a harvester and includes a load cell having a member that is subject to slight deformation under loads for use in generating an output signal that is proportional to the load. As the grain flow reaches the top of the elevator assembly, its direction is changed such that a centrifugal force is exerted by the moving flow that is proportional to the mass of the grain flow at that instant. Such centrifugal force is directed vertically against the deformable member of the load cell which is itself generally horizontally disposed when the harvester is on level ground so that the entire weight of the deformable member can be treated as tare and zeroed out of the system when it is calibrated with the harvester on level ground. Having the member generally horizontally disposed and measuring the force of the grain vertically causes a significant reduction in the amount of error introduced into the output from the monitor when the harvester encounters upsloping or downsloping hillside conditions.

A substantially symmetric inductor comprising a plurality of windings, at least one conductor crossover, and a peripheral conductor disposed at the periphery of the plurality of windings, the plurality of windings having a generally symmetric shape, each of the plurality of windings having a center and being of a different size from other ones of the plurality of windings, the peripheral conductor being generally symmetric and having a center, the plurality of windings and the peripheral conductor being substantially concentric, the conductor crossovers being disposed such that the symmetry of the inductor in substantially preserved. A method of winding an inductor such that the inductor is substantially symmetric about a center of the inductor, whereby signal degradation due to asymmetry of the inductor is substantially minimized.

摘要:
Systems and methods for improving dense gas solvent extraction of a solute and recovery of the solvent are provided. A pressure of the solvent/solute mixture obtained from an extraction chamber is increased, e.g. with a pump, thereby providing the mixture above saturation conditions. The increased pressure provides greater solubility of the solute and less solvent being vaporized in a heat exchanger. A buildup of solute in the system is reduced, thus improving system longevity. Also, process conditions of the separation process are isolated from those of the extraction process. Accordingly, the process conditions for the separating process are maintained while the process conditions of the extraction chamber vary with ambient temperature, thus saving cost and energy. This isolation also provides an ability to use, in the gas recovery cycle, a heat pump that can be used for many applications and environmental conditions while still using a conventional refrigerant.

Time-of-day information encoded into video signals can be managed to resolve conflicts and correct errors. In one embodiment, the invention includes receiving a plurality of video signals that include time-of-day information, evaluating the received signals for time-of-day information conflicts, extracting the time-of-day information from the video signals in accordance with the evaluation, determining a time-of-day using the extracted information in accordance with the evaluation, and setting a system clock based on the determined time of day. In another embodiment, the invention includes receiving a video stream, determining the source of the video stream, and modifying time-of-day information in the video stream based on the determined source.

A variety of different tuners can be used in a media center or other video component using a microcontroller to address each one. In one embodiment the invention includes a tuner to receive modulated video signals, the tuner having an external control interface to receive commands in a first protocol from an external agent, and a microcontroller to receive external tuner commands in a second protocol, to convert the external commands from the second protocol to the first protocol, and to transmit the converted external commands to the tuner.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for ensuring that MIDI data stored in the subcode channel area of a compact disc is synchronized with the main channel audio of the compact disc. Synchronization problems have been created when transferring audio on a tape from an audio studio to a PCM 1630 tape which is to be used as a compact disc master resulting in a squashing or stretching of the audio data with respect to the MIDI data. One reason this can occur is because F-1 tape records and plays back at 29.97 frames per second while PCM 1630 tape records and plays back at 30 frames per second. The result is that even if the MIDI data and main channel audio data begin in sync, they lose sync during transfers and may drift apart linearly over time as well as be offset with respect to each other. The present invention corrects such synchronization problems by playback simulation, MIDI data/Main channel audio sync measurement and MIDI data adjustment.
