Abstract: Reduced voltage switching of the primary switch. At least one example is a method comprising: activating, during a first switching period, a primary switch coupled to a primary winding of a transformer of a flyback topology, the activating induces a positive current in the primary winding; deactivating the primary switch and activating a secondary switch coupled to the secondary of the transformer, the activating the secondary switch during the first switching period and for a duration selected based on a signal indicative of negative current from a prior switching period, and the activating the secondary switch results in a positive current through the secondary winding followed by a negative current through the secondary winding; and discharging capacitance of the primary switch by a negative current in the primary winding responsive to the negative current in the secondary winding.

Abstract: Method and system for generating a personalized landing page for a user are disclosed. For example, the method includes receiving, by a computing device, one or more user data associated with the user, the one or more user data including one or more telematics data of the user, determining, by the computing device, one or more user interface features based at least in part upon the one or more user data, and generating, by the computing device, a personalized landing page customized for the user using the one or more user interface features to increase an effectiveness of the personalized landing page.
Abstract: A spreader assembly for an agricultural harvester includes a frame member and a rotor assembly attached to the frame member. The rotor assembly includes one or more rotary spreaders and a housing partially surrounding the one or more rotary spreaders. A transition hood is mounted to and/or positioned against the housing of the rotor assembly. A windrow chute is mounted to the frame member, wherein the windrow chute is pivotable about a window chute rotational axis between a deployed position and a retracted position. In the deployed position, the windrow chute blocks the transition hood to either limit or prevent removal of the transition hood in a longitudinal direction, and in the retracted position, the windrow chute permits access to and removal of the transition hood in the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: This application is directed to presenting a unified user interface on a network-connected television device. The unified user interface displays media content recommendations selected and organized based on knowledge of a user (e.g., search queries, search results, watch history, purchase history, physical activities). The unified user interface also includes a focus area for displaying a series of media content items (e.g., an advertisement) sequentially according to a temporal order for the purposes of promoting a media content item, product, event or service. In some implementations, playback of a media content item presented on the unified user interface relies on a collaborative implementation of a corresponding media player application and a media content casting application, particularly when the play involves a restricted mode. The content casting application is enabled to play the media content item at the restrict mode when the media player application does not operate in the restricted mode.
