Publication number: 20240155976Abstract: A self-propelled harvester is disclosed. The harvester comprises a drive motor, an attachment drive that has a hydraulic pump configured to drive a hydraulic motor to drive an attachment positioned on a feed device of the harvester, and a control device. The control device controls the attachment drive by accessing an attachment-specific parameter set tailored to the attachment that is connected to the harvester so that the hydraulic motor generates an attachment-specific operating torque which is lower than a maximum torque specific to the attachment to be driven. Further, the control device is configured, when a load peak is detected, to control the hydraulic motor to increase the operating torque generated by the hydraulic motor up to the attachment-specific maximum torque by changing a preset pivot angle.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Applicant: CLAAS Selbstfahrende Erntemaschinen GmbHInventors: Marcel Rohde-Fölling, Christian König, Josef Fischer

Patent number: 11024755Abstract: A solar cell with a heterojunction is produced. A first amorphous nano- and/or microcrystalline semiconductor layer is formed on the front face of a crystalline semiconductor substrate to form front face emitter or a front face surface field layer.
