Abstract:
The invention discloses improvements to a feederhouse on an agricultural combine. These improvements include a pivoting faceplate between the header and feederhouse. The pivoting faceplate has faceplate position indicia to assist an operator in properly positioning the faceplate. The invention also includes a front drum adjustment mechanism, which use a cam with cam position indicia to properly position the front drum. There is also a stone roll mount plate permitting the proper adjustment of the stone roll relative to the feederhouse floor. There are also stone roll position indicia and a pointer to help position the stone roll.
Abstract:
A mechanism for manually and automatically adjusting the front support drum of an endless conveyor within the feederhouse of an agricultural combine. The front drum is rotatably affixed to the remote end of a pivot arm that is pivotably affixed to the side sheet of the feederhouse. The relative position of the drum to the floor of the feederhouse is manually adjustable by manipulation of a cam that moves the pivot arm toward and away from the floor to preset positions. In combination with the adjustment mechanism, is a pivot mounting for the pivot arm that allows the drum to move upwardly and rearwardly when a bulk or lump of crop material enters the opening between the drum and the floor, thereby preventing damage to the components of the feederhouse.

Abstract:
Various methods and systems are provided for adaptable video architectures. In one embodiment, a method for adapting video processing of a video device includes processing a video stream along a first pipeline pathway defined by a plurality of interconnected pipeline elements. In response to detecting a change in a system condition of the video device, the pipeline pathway is transitioned to a second pipeline pathway by reconfiguring at least one of the pipeline element interconnections. In another embodiment, a method includes obtaining a video stream. A first subset bitstream having a first resolution is processed in a video pipeline of a video device and video information is extracted from the video pipeline during the processing. At least a portion of the extracted video information is then to a video pipeline of the video device for processing a second subset bitstream having a second resolution higher than the first resolution.
Abstract:
Described herein are systems and methods for determining the location, composition and concentration of a hydrocarbon containing plume in environmental seawater. These systems and methods disclosed use multiple complex admittance measurements from seawater in order to identify the contents, concentration, and location of the hydrocarbon containing plume. In preferred variations system includes a sensor array that substantially simultaneously records plume location, depth, and composition.
Abstract:
A wireless communication device is disclosed that is capable of utilizing multiple radio access technologies (RATs) in various coordinated ways so as to optimize, and enhance the versatility, of the device's communication capabilities. One or more RATs may be selected for use, either alone or in cooperation with each other, based on various conditions, such as channel conditions, traffic, data type, and priority. When conditions change, the originally-selected communication scheme may no longer be preferred. Consequently, the device can initiate a handover to another communication scheme. Transmitters corresponding to RATs that are not currently selected are controlled to enter a low-power state in order to conserve power. However, in some circumstances, the device may utilize both RATs simultaneously. For example, redundant communications can be made over both RATs for error-reduction or other purposes, and partial communications can be made over multiple RATs for increased speed and bandwidth, among other reasons.

Abstract:
Aspects of a method and system for a client QoS based connection session jogging are provided. While receiving a service over a particular delivery route, a user of a user device is provided with the capability to request an alternate route to continue to deliver the service via a user interface operation. The user device generates a connection handover (HO) request and transmits the request to a network management (NM) server. The NM server determines the alternate route and continues the service over the determined alternate route. The NM server supports both unsolicited and solicited connection HO request. A connection session profile associated with the particular delivery route is updated based on the determined alternate route information. The service is continued over the alternate route with the updated connection session profile. A connection HO request indicates a desired QoS from the user of the user device for the received service.
Abstract:
Aspects of a method and system for activity overlaid mapping services are provided. A subscriber transmits a map request to a mapping service server connected to a data communication network. Upon the receipt of the map request from the subscriber, the mapping service server create enhanced map based on subscriber activity information collected from a plurality of subscribers associated with the mapping service server. The enhanced map is generated by correlating the collected subscriber activity information of the plurality of subscribers to geographic locations of interest indicated by the map request. The created enhanced map is delivered to the subscriber device. Upon the receiving the enhanced map, the subscriber device presents location information associated with the received enhanced map to users via a user interface in a preferred format. A level of subscriber activity information sharing is determined by each subscriber.
Abstract:
A method for establishing secure access to a media peripheral in a home via a node in a communication network may include acquiring by the node, security data associated with the media peripheral. The method may include searching by the node, for a previously acquired security data associated with a location of previous operation of the media peripheral. The method may further include communicating between the node and the media peripheral, information associated with the media peripheral, while the media peripheral is located in the home, when the previously acquired security data is not found. The node may utilize the acquired security data associated with the media peripheral and the previously acquired security data to facilitate secure communication between the media peripheral in the home and the communication network, when the previously acquired security data is found.
