Abstract: A machine for making a knotted wire fence, including a machine frame, at least one knot box, at least one drive shaft, and a drive shaft driving means, wherein the machine can be switched between a first configuration in which the machine can be used to produce a knotted wire fence incorporating a first knot type, and a second configuration in which the machine can be used to produce a knotted wire fence incorporating a second knot type.

Abstract: Provided are methods and computing devices wherein in one embodiment, user input on a touch screen of a computing device within which a text document is displayed is associated with both: a) a user chosen command, such as a selection or an insertion of text characters, to be applied within the document, and b) a positional location in the document, representing a user chosen document location. A region associated with the positional location in the document is defined, and data comprises representation of the user chosen command is processed to determine the user chosen document location, being within the region and in proximity to the positional location in the document, based on the document location being capable of being either starting location or ending location within user chosen locations in the document at which to apply the user chosen command.

Abstract: An apparatus for tying a bale of material with a baling wire comprises an elongated body having a longitudinal axis and opposite ends, and a leg extending from each end of the body and including a forked portion. A retention clip is rotationally mounted about an axis proximate each of the forked portions, and the axis of rotation of each clip is oriented generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the body. The clips are operable to rotate automatically in a first direction on said axes when wires, oriented along the longitudinal axis of the body, are directed against the clips, and are further operable to automatically rotate in a second direction to capture wires directed thereagainst for maintaining wires along the body between the clips.

Abstract: A clinch tool and method for clamping a grid frame to a coil in which a clinch component is fed automatically into a space formed by the tool between the grid frame and coil with the clinch component saddled in position on the grid frame to be bent to retain the coil in a locked condition to the grid frame.
