摘要： A tablet dispenser for fumigating agricultural commodities, such as grain, animal feed, and the like, comprises a container shaped to receive a plurality of pesticide tablets therein, and including a base with a dispenser aperture therethrough. A rotor is rotatively mounted in the container base, and includes an upper portion, a medial portion, and a lower portion. The medial portion of the rotor is spaced apart from the container sidewall, and forms an annularly shaped channel therebetween which is proportioned to receive therein a single file ring of the pesticide tablets, each oriented on a circumferential edge thereof. The lower portion of the rotor extends outwardly of the medial portion to form a base surface of the channel on which the tablets are supported, and includes a dispensing aperture therethrough positioned for selective alignment with the container base aperture. The upper portion of the rotor is shaped to urge the tablets toward and into the channel, whereby relative rotation between the container and the rotor regularly dispenses the pesticide tablets from the dispenser.

摘要： The present invention is a wood grading apparatus including a robust “push” solenoid as a hammer means for impacting a lumber specimen under test. A conventional solenoid coil with stationary magnetic iron pole pieces is combined with a bimetallic armature including a magnetic portion and a non-magnetic portion; said armature is of uniform cross section through the solenoid coil. A magnetic steel portion of said armature is fastened to a nonmagnetic steel portion thereof, whereby the magnetic field may act upon the magnetic portion of said armature and drive said nonmagnetic portion in an outward direction whereby impact or striking action is achieved. The present invention includes said solenoid in a wood grading apparatus whereby physical properties of wood are measured in a conveyor line setting and wood grading is affected by combining sonic velocity and density measurements to determine the modulus of elasticity of the wood object. Sonic velocity in the wood specimen is determined either by reverberation frequency or by rolling transducers that detect the leading edge of a stress wave initiated by said hammer means. A weight measurement means including a horizontal-axis roller lug conveyor chain and a leaf-spring suspension with a load cell means provides for improved accuracy in weight measurement for wood density calculation.

摘要： This improved method of calibrating wood testing machines includes improved test bars, shim and software to direct the operator through the steps of calibration, storing interim results and calculating new calibration factors based on values read when the test bars are placed in the wood testing machine. This method avoids a number of problems in previous methods and apparatus. It properly corrects for changes in deflection in the measurement apparatus and changes in straightness of the test bars. The result is a more stable and reliable calibration that is referenced to precise measurement of the EI product for the test bar.

摘要： In an articulated combine, the hinge arrangement connecting the front and rear bogies consists of spaced-apart upper and lower links. The lower link construction provides for oscillation between the bogies as well as establishing a steering pivot center. The upper link normally lies in a fore-and-aft plane and is pivotally connected between rearward upper portions of the respective bogies, thus spanning the length of the rear bogie. The hinge arrangement also provides part of the structure for a conveyor for conveying clean grain between the front and rear bogies. In one embodiment, the upper link comprises an auger tube into which clean grain is introduced by a clean grain elevator and cross auger. In another embodiment, the lower link assembly does double duty as an auger conveyor housing.

摘要： Self-contained, preprogrammable downhole well data recorder and method of use thereof, the recorder having the external configuration of a conventional sidepocket gas lift valve and being placeable and retrievable from a conventional gas lift sidepocket mandrel by a conventional valve positioning tool. The recorder monitors and collects fluid dynamics data downhole during well operations, such as stimulation, production and multi-zone well completions, without impeding fluid flow. Programming can involve selective actuation of one or more of the sensors intermittently for at least thirty days. After retrieval of the recorder, fluid dynamics data stored in memory is outputted to external equipment for analysis in a manner known per se.

摘要： A non-destructive testing system for lumber involves measurement of grain angle about a board and transformation of the measured grain angle values to extract features indicative of knot identification, grain angle perturbations or strength of the board. Individual boards can then be processed for grading or sorting purposes as a function of the extracted features. Specific features utilized for knot identification are curl, divergence, and novel transformations termed gradient, edges and knots, as well as various pattern matching techniques. Strength estimation involves transformations pertaining to failure distance, which is a function of board tensile strength. Failure distance can be computed by an ellipsoidal model, a search model or a tracks model. When utilized in conjunction with conventional bending test procedures, highly accurate strength estimation is achieved by the described system.

摘要： A powered vacuum is mounted between a tractor carrying a rotary mower and a trailer carrying a receptacle for moving material from the mower discharge to the receptacle. A mounting frame carries a blower which may include either an internal combustion engine or gearbox and a fan coupled directly to the engine or gearbox. The mounting frame is mounted to the tractor by connections defining three coplanar ball joints located to permit relative pitch and roll between the tractor and trailer. The mounting frame is easily releasably secured to the tongue of the trailer. The mounting frame is articulated between its opposite ends for movement about a tight vertical axis. The mounting frame, in one form, defines a receptacle for receiving a support member of a wheeled dolly for supporting the powered vacuum when the mounting frame is disconnected from the tractor and trailer, and in another form includes retractable wheels which may be selectively placed in an operative condition for supporting the vacuum.

摘要： Disclosed are carpet stretching tools comprising a pair of laterally extending and parallel barbed bars including a lead-bar and a trail-bar, guide means permitting longitudinal movement between the barbed bars while maintaining them in parallelism, and force application means to forceably controllably move the carpet engageable barbed bars into proximity. Preferably, the guide means takes the form of slidably engaged collar and shank, and the force application means includes a longitudinally extending threaded stud firmly attached to one barbed bar and movably surrounded by the other barbed bar, and further includes a controllable handle. Loftily disposed guide shank and force application threaded stud might provide the sole connection between barbed bars to permit ancillary manual operations to be performed therebelow. The barbed bars might be of selectable lateral length appropriate to certain carpet stretching tasks.
