  • Patent number: 10757862
    Abstract: A bale accumulator for grouping bales for group baling includes a platform, a depositor mounted adjacent to the platform for sequentially depositing bale sets onto the platform, each bale set when deposited onto the platform comprises a pair of bales positioned upright and side-by-side in a packing orientation so that their corresponding long sides are axially juxtaposed, and a packer apparatus mounted adjacent to the platform for packing one bale set at a time from the platform into a group baler trailing the platform each time a bale set is deposited onto the platform from the depositor without changing the packing orientation of the bales of each bale set.

  • Patent number: 9825626
    Abstract: A programmable equalizer and related method are provided. The equalizer includes a pair of current-setting field effect transistors (FETs) coupled in series with a pair of input FETs and a pair of load resistors, respectively, between a first voltage rail (Vdd) and a second voltage rail (ground). A programmable equalization circuit is coupled between the sources of the input FETs, comprising a plurality of selectable resistive paths and a variable capacitor, which could also be configured as a plurality of selectable capacitive paths. Each of the selectable resistive paths (as well as each of the selectable capacitive paths) include a selection FET for selectively coupling the corresponding resistive (or capacitive) path between the sources of the input FETs. In the case where one of the input FETs is biased with a reference gate voltage, the source of each selection FET is coupled to the source of such input FET.

  • Patent number: 9654090
    Abstract: Circuits for die-to-die clock distribution are provided. A system includes a transmit clock tree on a first die and a receive clock tree on a second die. The transmit clock tree and the receive clock tree are the same, or very nearly the same, so that the insertion delay for a given bit on the transmit clock tree is the same as an insertion delay for a bit corresponding to the given bit on the receive clock tree. While there may be clock skew from bit-to-bit within the same clock tree, corresponding bits on the different die experience the same clock insertion delays.
