Abstract: A crop processing roll has the outer cylindrical surface thereof hardened differently at selected areas along the axial length of the crop processing roll. Typically, the high wear areas on at least one end of the crop processing roll have higher levels of hardening, while the low wear area at the central portion of the roll has a lesser level of hardening. The preferable system for hardening is a High Velocity Air Fuel system in which a powdered carbide and metal is mixed in a combustion chamber with air and fuel before applied through an injection gun at different flow rates to selected areas on the crop processing roll. Alternatively, the crop processing roll can be segmented with various segments having different levels of surface hardening, which can be done by conventional heat treating, electroplating or HVAF application of material, and assembled as appropriate to position hardened areas where needed.

Abstract: A system, method and process for product authentication and verification using Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, blockchain technology (Hyperledger), and cryptography. A unique product identifier is generated for a unique individual product, incorporated into a data structure, and the data structure is recorded to a blockchain initiating an immutable record for the unique product identifier. An NFC tag is encoded with a tap-unique URL comprising the unique product identifier and a cryptographic output and affixed to the product. Each time the tag is tapped by a proximity coupling device, a web client operating on the proximity coupling device opens the URL whereupon the tag is verified using a cryptographic verification process and generating a verification result. The verification result is recorded on the blockchain ledger for the unique product identifier, thereby creating an immutable record of each tap interaction result.

The device is shaped as a tokomak the hydrogen plasma being contained in a magnetic field that is greater than 10,000 Teslas in magnitude allowing the Carbon Fusion events to happen within the torus shaped reaction chamber at 16 million kelvins or higher temperature.

Abstract: An access assembly for a high voltage box or inverter which reduces the associated risk of exposure to charged components, such as high voltage power electronics, where an interlock is required. The access is limited so that the system may deactivate some functionality, and/or internal devices are discharged to allow safe access. The access assembly includes a wireless detection method using a sensor circuit paired with a magnet that detects if a cover or connector is removed. The magnet is mounted to the cover or connector. This detection may be made through walls of non-magnetic material, which avoids the incorporation of extra components such as PCBs or a pigtail harness, enables a much simpler EMC shielding by avoiding unwanted openings, and simplifies assembly by reducing required operations and processes. The access assembly may be used for applications where controlled access is required for installation or service of power electronic products.
