  • Publication number: 20240107944
    Abstract: An agricultural harvesting machine having a cutting unit for cutting harvested material and a driver assistance system is disclosed. The driver assistance system includes a memory in which control strategies for the operation of the cutting unit are stored and a computing device for controlling a cutting angle of the cutting unit in accordance with the control strategies. The computing device is configured to link first and second control strategy to one another via a weighting variable, with the weighting variable being adjustable by a driver. The driver assistance system uses at least one of the control strategies and sensed forefield information to automatically determine the cutting angle of the cutting unit and to automatically control the cutting unit based on the determined cutting angle.

  • Patent number: 9072408
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fitting part (01) for manually handling a useful object, in particular a cooking or roasting vessel, having a carrying part (02) which can be fixedly connected to the wall of the object or of the vessel or is a constituent part of the wall, having a handle part (07) which can be pushed onto the carrying part (02) in a joining direction and can be detachably attached thereto, having a latching device, in which the latching element can be moved from an unlocked position and into a locked position by means of a spring force, wherein the latching element in the locked position bears with a latching surface against an abutment in order to prevent the handle part (07) from being removed from the carrying part (02), wherein an operating element for unlocking the latching device is provided, the operating element and the abutment being arranged on the handle part (07) and the latching element being arranged on the carrying part (02).

  • Patent number: 8952343
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to perform efficient, automatic cyclotron initialization, calibration, and beam adjustment. A process is provided that allows the automation of the initialization of a cyclotron after overnight or maintenance imposed shutdown. In one embodiment, five independent cyclotron system states are defined and the transition between one state to another may be automated, e.g., by the control system of the cyclotron. According to these embodiments, it is thereby possible to achieve beam operation after shutdown with minimal manual input. By applying an automatic procedure, all active devices of the cyclotron (e.g., RF system, extraction deflectors, ion source) are respectively ramped to predefined parameters.

  • Publication number: 20120088021
    Abstract: A liquid feeding device for roasting or stewing pots is described which permits a supply of liquid, to be continuously added to the interior of the pot to compensate for liquids and flavors lost by evaporation, and to add additional flavors to the cooking container. The liquid feeding device is in the form of a fluid reservoir mounted on the cover of the pot, the reservoir having at least one hole through which the liquid stored in the reservoir may slowly escape into the below pot. The rate of flow of liquid from the reservoir to the cooking container may also be regulated by providing structure which permits adjustment of the rate of flow of air into the interior of the reservoir.
