  • Patent number: 11592134
    Abstract: Apparatus for spreading fluids and in particular fertilizers, pesticides and similar fluids, with a connection for attaching said apparatus to a machine, with a tubular body for conducting the fluid, and with a first outlet device via which the fluid can be discharged. The outlet device can be fixed at various positions in a longitudinal direction of the tubular body such that a position of the outlet device can be selected relative to the tubular body.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 6, 2018
    Date of Patent: February 28, 2023

  • Patent number: 6998874
    Abstract: A method is described for transmitting signals on a pair of lines, whereby the signals pass alternately from a low level to a high level. The signals on one line of the pair transmit a complementary level of signals to the other line of the pair, whereby signal drivers are used in a manner to affect an exchange in the levels of the transmitted signals. First, the signal drivers that send complementary levels of signals to the two lines are isolated from the lines. Second, the lines are short-circuited so that an identical intermediary potential between the low-level and the high-level signal, is applied. Third, the short-circuit is removed and the signal drivers are connected so that inversely complementary levels of signals can be sent to both lines.

  • Patent number: 6351147
    Abstract: A configuration and a method for matching output drivers of integrated circuits to specified conditions include parameters to be taken into account when matching output drivers and/or control signals based on the parameters for matching the output drivers, to be provided in digital form. The configuration and method may additionally or alternatively perform matching by taking into account a level or waveform of a supply voltage of an integrated circuit and/or a technology used in the integrated circuit and/or technical data on a load to be driven and/or demands placed on the output drivers by the load to be driven.
