Abstract: An optical fiber terminating assembly has an outer body (10), a first member (11) locatable in the outer body (10) and which carries a protruding length of optical fiber (36) which locates an alignment structure (44, 45) and a housing (12) locatable in alignment with the first member (11). The housing (12) has an access opening for receiving an optical fiber (52, 53) to be terminated so that the fiber can be located in the alignment structure in abutment with the optical fiber length (35). The housing has a compartment (47) which receives a heat responsive adhesive element (57), a saddle (58) and a resistor (59). When a current is passed through the resistor, the heat generated is transmitted by the saddle to the adhesive which melts and flows around the optical fiber (52, 53) to secure it in position in abutment with the optical fiber length (35).

Abstract: A device for determining and controlling a bale length on a pick-up baler for agricultural harvested material has a pick-up device, a feed channel connected to the pick-up device, and a pressing channel with pressing piston connected to the feed channel. A conveying device conveys the harvested material through the feed channel into the pressing channel. The pressing piston compacts the harvested material. A sensor detects a bale growth resulting upon compression of the harvested material during the feed stroke from the feed channel into the pressing channel. An electronic evaluation device is connected to the sensor that supplies a bale growth value to the electronic evaluation device where it is converted into an averaged operand or a statistical operand for determining a required number of feed strokes for reaching the nominal bale length. After the computed number of feed strokes is reached, the binding device is triggered for tying the finished bale.

Abstract: An implement combination has a self-propelled support vehicle moveable in a travel and working direction. At least one front-mounted implement is connected to a front end of the self-propelled support vehicle in the travel and working direction. At least one side-mounted implement is connected to a lateral side of the self-propelled support vehicle. A raising device transfers the front-mounted and side-mounted implements from a working and operating position near the ground into a partially raised head land position or into a completely raised transport position. The self-propelled support vehicle has a control and switching device. The front-mounted and side-mounted implements are coupled to the control and switching device such that a command for reverse travel of the control and switching device causes a mandatory raising of the front-mounted and side-mounted implements at least into the partially raised head land position.

Abstract: A self-propelled harvesting machine has an attachment for picking up cut crop or for harvesting stalked crop and a processing device for chopping the crop. A curved spout is arranged downstream of the processing device for picking up the crop at a pick-up location and transferring it to a drop location on a transport vehicle. A control device adjusts an operating speed of the drive motor to idle speed, nominal speed, and a speed range below the nominal speed. The drive motor, when the attachment has a great working width and the distance between pick-up location and drop location of the curved spout has a great length, is operated at nominal speed and, when the attachment has a minimal working width and the distance between pick-up location and drop location of the curved spout has a minimal length, is operated at a reduced speed.

Abstract: A harvesting machine such as a self-propelled pick-up chopper including a feeder housing having supplying elements and which can be transferred from a swiveled-in operating position about an axle into a swiveled-up maintenance position. In order to be able to transfer the feeder housing rapidly into the swiveled-up maintenance position, the feeder housing can be swung out of the way forward towards the ground in the driving direction about an essentially horizontal axle aligned transversely to the traveling direction of the machine. The supplying elements of the feeder housing can be driven over a drive shaft having a first portion which can be swiveled in the same direction with the feeder housing and a second portion different than the first portion which can be expanded and contracted telescope-like.

Abstract: A mowing machine connectable to a lifting device arranged at the rear of an agricultural support vehicle has a mowing device with several rotary cutting members guided in a working position laterally on the support vehicle. A support beam has a first end receiving the mowing device and a second end with a three-point hitch with connecting locations connectable to upper and lower rods of the lifting device. A first connecting location is provided on the support beam on a side of the three-point hitch remote from the mowing device. The first connecting location is connected to the three-point hitch such that when the mowing device hits an obstacle while moving in a traveling and working direction, a pivot movement of the mowing device in a direction counter to the traveling and working direction and a lifting movement of the leading area of the mowing device are initiated.

Abstract: Harvesting machine for picking up and chopping corn, wilted grass, green feed and similar harvested material including a feeding device, a chopping device arranged after the feeding device and a conditioning device for conditioning the harvested material arranged after the chopping device. The conditioning device optionally engages a conveying duct. Mounting and dismantling of the conditioning device is simplified because it is connected on one side to a duct pivotable about an essentially horizontal swiveling axis and on the other side rigidly but detachably to a rigid duct. Preferably, the swiveling axis is situated below the pivotable duct such that the swiveling motion of the pivotable duct is directed downward against the traveling direction of the harvesting machine to thereby enable removal of the conditioning device.
