Abstract: An agricultural system includes a header with a feed roller configured to engage a crop and to drive material other than grain (MOG) of the crop toward a field. The agricultural system also includes a chopper configured to cut the MOG driven toward the field by the feed roller for discharge from the agricultural system and a control system configured to output a control signal to adjust a speed of the chopper relative to a speed of the feed roller based on a size of the MOG discharged from the agricultural system.

Abstract: An agricultural system includes a header having a row unit with a feed roller configured to engage a crop and to pull a stalk of the crop toward the field. The header also includes a conveyor configured to receive a desirable crop material of the crop from the row unit and to direct the desirable crop material of the crop toward an inlet of the agricultural system. The header further includes a sensor system configured to detect presence of material other than grain (MOG) proximate to or at the conveyor.

Abstract: In the present invention, there is provided a use of 1,1,1-tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane in a composition in the formation of an image on a substrate having said composition applied thereon, wherein the image is formed upon exposure of the composition to NIR or IR radiation, and wherein the image is capable of being retained on the substrate for at least 1 day under conditions of at least 50% relative humidity. The present invention is further directed towards compositions comprising 1,1,1-tris(4-hydroxyphenly)ethane, in addition to substrates, methods of forming an image and printing processes comprising said compositions.

Abstract: A machine control system for an agricultural operation includes sensors mounted on the machine and providing output signals corresponding to machine operations. A roll-up reporting function produces reports of machine operation, and status. The system can be programmed for providing such reports a predetermined intervals, e.g., at the start of each work day. A portion control method embodying the present invention includes the steps of: providing sensors on an agricultural machine; outputting from the sensors signals corresponding to machine operations; roll-up reporting of the machine operations; and comparing the operational report to a work order for the machine.

Abstract: The invention is directed towards a composition comprising: a near-infrared radiation absorbing compound; a colour-forming compound; and a heat transfer agent operable to facilitate heat transfer from the near-infrared radiation absorbing compound to the colour-forming compound; wherein the near-infrared radiation absorbing compound is present in an amount of 0.1-3.5 wt % of the total composition, and the heat transfer agent is present in an amount of 1-15 wt % of the total composition, and the heat transfer agent is present in the composition as solid particles. The invention further relates to substrates comprising the composition applied thereto, as well as methods of forming colour or an image on said substrates.

Abstract: Methods of increasing the particle size of ammonium octamolybdate (AOM) pigment powder are provided. A method can include heating the AOM pigment powder to a temperature above 20° C. for a given amount of time. An ink composition can be produced by formulating AOM pigment powder with increased particle size and incorporating the AOM pigment powder into an ink composition.

Abstract: Ink formulations and methods of using the same in laser-imaging are provided. An ink formulation can comprise a graphene-based component, a colour change agent, a binder, and a solvent. Substrates, coatings, and articles comprising a graphene-based component are also provided, and laser marking can be brought about by an ablation or direct charring process.

Abstract: A method for providing an image on or in a substrate is provided, and comprises applying to the substrate: (i) ammonium octamolybdate (AOM) in the form of the alpha-isomer, obtainable by thermal decomposition of ammonium molybdate at 215-225° C. for 180 mins, and which has an anhydrous loss on ignition in the range 8.00 to 8.80; or (ii) a composition comprising ammonium octamolybdate as defined in (i), and a binder; followed by irradiation. Also provided are liquid ink compositions comprising AOM as defined above, and a binder.

Abstract: Water soluble marking compounds comprising a transition metal oxyanion and at least one ammonium cation, comprising a nitrogen atom at least one further group selected from the group consisting of OH, COOH, NH2, NHC1-5 alkyl, and N(C1-5 alkyl)2, wherein the two C1-5 alkyl may be the same type of alkyl or different alkyls, may be used to obtain clear imageable coatings.

Abstract: An ink formulation having a marking component and a reduced indium tin oxide (r-ITO) is disclosed. The r-ITO in powder form exhibits a lightness (L*), according to the 1976 CIE (L*, a*, b*) space, of not more than 50.

Abstract: During communications sessions between an agent in a call center and a customer, it is often desirable that a secondary agent is consulted, the secondary agent perhaps more suited to the particular needs of the customer. It is preferred that the original agent is presented with a list of the best-suited agents with which to consult, if needs be. Accordingly, a system and method for managing a list of contacts for presentation to a user of a computer system (e.g. a call center agent) is disclosed. The system provides for the monitoring of live communications between an agent and a customer, and further provides for the detecting of a pattern of data in the monitored live communications interaction (e.g. utilising speech recognition to recognise use of a particular keyword). The system is then operable to present a list of suggested contacts to the agent, the suggested contacts chosen based on a match between selection criteria for that contact and on the particular data pattern detected.

Abstract: The disclosed invention relates to the use of molybdenum (VI) peroxo complex containing an amino acid, such as MoO(O2)2(GLY)(H2O), in marking applications, as well as to ink formulations comprising such complexes.

Abstract: A device for recording the content of live communications sessions allocates each session with a unique identifier which is also communicated to a server, exchange, switch or endpoint having control of that session. A log of events occurring in the session is updated with the unique identifier of the recorded content, and following the session, the log of events is communicated to the recording device, indexed under the unique identifier, and stored with the recorded content of the session itself.

Abstract: A substrate marking apparatus for use in combination with a substrate comprising a multi-color change diacetylene compound is disclosed. The substrate marking apparatus comprises: at least two radiation sources operable to emit radiation of different wavelengths, optical transformation elements and a control system. The control system takes digital file information and converts this to a set of emission instructions for the radiation sources. The radiation sources are then applied to the substrate in sequence and intensity determined by the control system such that the substrate is activated to change from a colorless state to any one of a range of multiple permanent colors.
