Abstract: An adjustment mechanism for setting the position of a singulator in a seed meter. The singulator comprises an arm pivotally mounted about a pivot adjacent a seed disk. A shaft with an eccentric connection to a radially outward portion of the arm has a lever pivotally connected on it. The lever has a cam mechanism to displace an actuating sleeve into a resilient sleeve to lock the shaft in a given position when the lever is extending in the direction of the axis of rotation of the shaft. When the lever is moved to a right angle orientation the shaft is free to pivot and thus set the position of the arm.

Abstract: A method for determining the quantity of coating applied to a material web includes directing radiation onto the material web coated with the coating, interacting the radiation with the coating, determining, using a measurement signal produced using the detected radiation, the quantity of the coating on and/or in the material web, and detecting the radiation, after its interaction, in various frequency bands to produce a specific measurement signal for each frequency band. The frequency bands include a frequency common to all frequency bands. The frequency bands are selected such that, with any given quantity of the applied coating, at least one of the specific measurement signals varies more with the structure of the applied coating than another of the specific measurement signals. The specific measurement signals of the various frequency bands are mathematically linked with each other to determine the quantity of the coating.

Each of the deployable wings are pivotable about a corresponding secondary axis. At least one corresponding secondary axis is in the same plane as the primary axis.

Abstract: An electrical bus forming method including the steps of interlocking a plurality of electrical conductors and forming a shaped conductor. The interlocking step includes interlocking a plurality of electrical conductors including a first electrical conductor with a second electrical conductor thereby forming an interlocked conductor. The forming step includes forming a shaped conductor from the interlocked conductor.

Abstract: Lines of input image data are scaled in a first dimension, the one-dimensionally scaled lines are stored in a buffer memory until a sufficient number of lines have been stored to perform scaling equally in two dimensions, and the stored lines are then scaled in a second dimension to produce image data scaled two-dimensionally by a user-selected scaling percentage. A first image scaling method is used to scale the input image data if the user-selected scaling percentage exceeds a predetermined threshold value, such as 50 percent, and a second scaling method is used if the scaling percentage does not exceed the threshold value. The first method can be, for example, linear interpolation, and the second method can be, for example, averaging.

Abstract: A steam blower box unit having a steam blower box for applying steam to a passing material web, especially a paper or board web, and having a withdrawal device at least partly integrated in the steam blower box. The steam blower box, located opposite the material web in an operating position, can be moved out of its operating position laterally via the withdrawal device, that is to say generally transversely with respect to the web running direction, and can be moved into this operating position again from its lateral position. In this case, preferably the entire steam blower box can be moved appropriately via the withdrawal device.
