Abstract: A planting unit for a seeding machine comprising a seed supply, a seed meter and a seed delivery system to deposit the seed within a furrow. The seed meter is driven by an electronic control unit to achieve a pre-defined pattern of the seeds. The planting unit is adapted to skip dispensing of seeds at locations at which a tramline extends transversely to the travel direction. The following possibilities to achieve the tramline are described: (a) the seed meter comprises adjacent apertures for receiving the seeds and at least one of the apertures is closed, (b) a seed branch-off assembly is adapted to take a seed out of the seed delivery system, (c) the seed delivery system is slowed down to reduce the speed of the seed transport, (d) a seed transport device for moving a seed from the seed meter to the seed delivery system is disabled, or (e) a seed removal device is provided to provide the skip.

Abstract: In a method for isochronous communication of components of a multi-component apparatus, which communicate via peer-to-peer communication connections created by a switch, a periodic communication clock signal is provided by a control computer to all the components, with a communication window between two communication clock cycles of the communication clock signal, in which a communication information item of the isochronous communication is transferrable from a transferring component to at least one addressed component. A synchronization, in relation to the communication clock signal, between at least two of the components is produced by at least one synchronization message sent via the switch by one of the components to be synchronized to all the other components to be synchronized in a communication time window.

Abstract: An agricultural machine for performing a cultivation operation on a field with plants in a regular, non-square pattern, in parallel, linear rows with a first transverse distance between adjacent rows in a first direction being smaller than a second transverse distance between adjacent rows in a second direction different from the first direction. The agricultural machine is connected to a first set of work units with lateral distances between adjacent work units of the first set of work units corresponding to the first distance, and to a second set of work units which are adapted to be inoperative during operation of the agricultural machine in the first direction and adapted to be operative during operation of the agricultural machine in the second direction to cover the areas between adjacent rows which cannot be treated with the work units of the first set of the work units.

Abstract: A planting unit for a seeding machine comprising a seed supply and a seed meter adapted to dispense seed to a seed delivery system to deposit within a furrow. The seed meter is driven by an electronic control unit to achieve a pre-defined pattern of the seeds. The planting unit skips dispensing of seeds at locations at which a tramline extending transversely to the travel direction is to be provided.

Abstract: A circuit arrangement for an MRT system and a method for operating an MRT system are disclosed. The circuit arrangement includes a gradient amplifier having a switch-mode output stage, a regulator device, and a modulator connected therebetween in the circuit. To ensure patient safety, a control path is integrated into a drive path of the circuit arrangement or the MRT system provided for driving a gradient coil, the gradient coil being connected to an output of the switch-mode output stage. The control path includes a limiter stage connected downstream of the regulator device, the modulator, the switch-mode output stage and its supply voltage. The limiter stage is connected in the circuit between the regulator device and an input of the modulator, to limit a control signal output by the regulator device and limit the voltage for the gradient coil provided by the switch-mode output stage at its output.
