Abstract: A system for re-securing a bale with defective or broken wrapping. The system has a waterproof material; at least one rope loop wherein the at least one rope loop is hermetically attached to the waterproof material and maintains waterproofing of the waterproof material; at least one rope wherein the at least one rope passes through an aperture defined by the at least one rope loop; and at least one O-ring wherein the at least one of O-ring is attached to a first end of rope of the at least one rope.

Abstract: This invention relates to a fugitive ink for marking cotton modules or other like fibers wherein the ink dries in less than about two hours in the field and does not fade or wash away when the module or fiber is stored in all-weather conditions open to the elements, but wherein the ink is removed upon mechanical agitation of the fiber and the scouring/bleaching process used by textile mills. The ink composition comprises a water-soluble dyestuff, such as a sulfone containing dyestuff, a polymeric resin emulsion, a wetting agent and water.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for wrapping a bale of agricultural product with protective material prior to ejection from a baler wherein the apparatus is attachable to most commercial balers, the material can both protect and bind the bale, material of a width less than the width of the bale can be used, and the bale can be wrapped with a spiral wrap of material at both its nominal width and in a gathered narrow rope-like width.

Abstract: A flexible heating cable and method using positive temperature coefficient conductive (PTC) polymeric material as the primary heat source with the PTC composition material being electrically and mechanically connected to substantially flat, preferably braided, electrical conductors. A covering of dielectric material preferably is used to electrically separate the cable from the environment. The cable construction improves the heat transfer from the PTC composition material to the environment, thereby increasing the power generated by the PTC composition material. Additionally, the cable construction improves the temperature distribution of the cable.
